Bespoke video game makers Amuse Me employ artists whose work has been shown at galleries and museums around the world, to 'gamify' your life. Starting at the basic level, you can add faces and objects into six existing games at around £20 (A$31) per personalised element – so you can make the big boss into your ex (or boss) and get bonuses shaped like your cats.
You could also splash out on a personalised video game by the designer of your choice, for up to about £9,000. It'll require a few hours of your time and some inspiration from toys and photo albums to get it right but we can only assume it would be beautifully worth it. We can't wait for Level Three: "navigating your way to the play area with a bucket on your head" and Level Fourteen: "deadly bar crawl".
But that's not all. Amuse Me has gone all out with its $80,000 deluxe option – a universe created especially for you, served up on your own tablet or custom installation and designed by only the finest game designers. One of them even wants to have a crack at designing a game where each level is based on the structure of the gamer's DNA. Friends no longer required.
