I know it's a joke, but as a guy with a penchant for picking up trash, I'm charmed. Collectable aspects are a strong way to gamify behavior, from what I've seen. Make that TrashDex! Some other frequent types I find: clothing (new type: APARRIL?), car parts (new type: VEECLE?), pipes and other construction equipment (might fall under METALLO), advertisements like business cards and signs (might fall under PAPYR, but could be its own type).
Thank you! You just made my day :)
I'm thinking of making this into a real short game.
It would fit in a cassette case, building up on the idea of "TrashDex".
And the Apparil and Veecle sound like a great addition!
I need to make it clear to not pick up trash unless you're geared up with something protective, though.
