Jenny Jiao HsiaIndependent

Jenny Jiao Hsia is an independent game developer, designer, and co-director of Consume Me, an award-winning narrative game that combines systems-driven gameplay with painfully honest storytelling. Consume Me received both the Nuovo Award and the Seumas McNally Grand Prize at IGF 2025, along with nominations for Excellence in Design, Narrative, and Visual Art. Since releasing Consume Me, Jenny has committed to posting one TikTok every day until the game sells one million copies. When not making games or TikToks, she studies ballet and machine-knits tiny hats for her two Pomeranians, who have not asked for this.
