After six months of digitising and organising data into IGG, MindTree finally released its public interface in June.īoth citizens and waste-recyclers form an important part of IGG. It is this system that IGG started incorporating into their platform since January 2014. “In doing so, we really discourage the amount of waste that goes to the landfill,” says Nalini Shekar, co-founder of Hasirudala. The larger the amount of reject waste, the more they pay. The residents, however, pay for their reject waste. Under this model, uniformed, trained waste-pickers collect segregated waste from apartments, selling recyclable dry waste to scrap dealers, composting the wet waste at the apartments, or sending it to government-run composting centres. In one of their initiatives, Hasirudala helps apartments hire the services of waste-picker franchises, in a "pay-per-kilo" model. ![]() One such partner, Hasirudala (translating as “green force”), has engaged with some of the city’s 20,000-odd waste-pickers for the last three years. To change this, IGG has partnered with six organisations actively working to improve the city’s waste situation. Predictably, copious amounts of mixed waste continue to fill up overflowing landfills. But in the absence of implementation, the mandatory rulings had little effect. To control this menace, Bangalore became the first metropolis in the country in 2012, to make waste segregation at source compulsory. Almost 90% of this ends up in landfills, despite being largely recyclable. But we felt that they needed to come to the beginning of the supply chain, which is my house and your house,” says Prashant Mehra, chief architect of IGG at Mindtree Ltd.īangalore’s 8.5 million residents generate more than 4,000 tonnes of solid waste every day. “Currently, their work location is the garbage heap. The solution is simple, yet innovative – a cloud-based platform called I Got Garbage (IGG), that brings the informal sector of waste recyclers in Bangalore face-to-face with the city’s garbage generators. We have Noio's breakout game, Kingdom, a 7.7 review, calling it "a gorgeous and addictive test of city management".Having realized their potential, Bangalore, the IT hub of India, is now using its expertise to empower these entrepreneurial environmentalists and solve the city’s garbage crisis. As we work on those things, we also continue work on the remaining chapters that we did not include in the EA launch, and will release that along with the updates." You can wishlist the game now. "This might be an extensive rework, or a tuning modification," continues the Steam description. ![]() The game will come to Early Access later this year, and will stay in that state for around 3 months, allowing Noio to to modify the core loop using player feedback. For those less interested in the 'campaign' aspect, however, there will be a full sandbox mode with no goals, where players can create for the sake of creation (and lovely screenshots). I imagine I'll have the same impulse here, prettying up my creations well after the game tells me I can move on. ![]() You could just paint a boring line of flowers on there and be done with it, but I never did, because it was so much more satisfying and relaxing to spend the time creating mini-masterpieces across the game world. The concept reminds me of my favourite element of last year's Concrete Genie, which saw you tasked with covering the walls of a grim, post-recession town with living paintings.
