Viscera Cleanup Detail
https://en.wikipedi...cera_Cleanup_Detail [PotatoStew]'s suggestion came true. It's a great game! [Treejuice, Oct 22 2017]

The maker of this game could team up with the makers of
some first-person shoot-em ups, and then Virtual Janitor
could clean up the carnage left behind from those games. |

|
Go home at 3.15 every day! |
|
|
Reminice about the good old days when kids/workers had respect for the staff |
|
|
Thrillville has a minigame like this. |
|
|
There are actually a lot of possibilities - lots of uppgradable things from a crappy half broken swiffer mop all the way to the mopulator 5000 robot mopping machine. |
|
|
You have to race aroudn between jobs, cleaning as many places before sunrise as you can. |
|
|
It would be like the old video game "Make Trax" - little kids would enter and run around the hallways tracking in mud and you'd have to remop them. |
|
|
I quit playing PC games, but I would re-boot the system for the sake of this CLEANER. |
|
|
Don't have any croissants left, sorry. ('I hate the world today.') |

I linked a similar idea, where chores you do in real life contribute to leveling your character. This idea is not baked, though, since it involves mundane rather than virtual janitorial tasks. |
|
|
Also, you can sort of think of Katamari Damacy as a janitorial game, as you role the entire world into a tidy little ball. |

mess." |

What [MaxwellBuchanan] said; are you going to pick up that comma before someone trips over it? |
|
|
However, [+] for the idea itself. |
|
|
This would be great on Wii!
Imagine scrubbing stilleto scuffs off the
department store floor! |
|
|
How complex is the simulation? Can the janitor stimulate a bottom-up swell, social/political change, or architectural design change to make their job easier? A janitorial god simulation. |
|
|
Nature cleans up after itself but doesn't understand mankind's tinkering alterations. |
|
|
//From a business point of view, I think the worst thing is to cut
through complexity (in reality, to simplify it and thus avoid it) // |
|
|
I'm working on a software tool to attack that very problem.
Dunno whether it will ever see the light of day. |
|
|
Janitorial virtues: patience, frugality, umm ... |
|
|
And yet, people really enjoy watching zits popped. |
|
|
The ultimate complexity is, making the leap in computing, to factor in all those one off acts in the universe that will never be repeated. |
