  • Vangers is a postapocalyptic and fundamentally strange top-down driving/exploration/mystery/action-RPG.

    It has a unique back story, hostile worlds and an intriguing and expansive vocabulary that helps tell the story. If you are the type of person that appreciates poetic neologisms because they get your brain going, guessing at the etymology and sucking up the layers of connotation, this is up your alley.

    Even if you manage to complete the game, you’ll be left wondering whether what happened was even meant to happen. It’s sort of post modern with deconstructed words, rituals and behaviors all jumbled up and muddled together as a result of a great and important event that once had meaning to creatures that may no longer even exist.

    I am personally okay with that, as this is intended to be a simplification. A simplification by definition can’t include all information. But there’s a difference between omitting information and including misleading information. My problem’s with the latter in this case.

    This looks misleading to me, because it indicates that grandchildren and their descendants can have very disproportionate amounts of genes from either grandparent.

    The genes inherited from a parent do not sit in one continuous chunk, as indicated here.

    Instead they are pulled randomly from all over the parent’s genome, and so they end up taking up places all over the offspring’s genome as well.

    This has the effect that relatedness is consistently halved through the generations. (Though minor variations occur in the short term)
