Application of the Genetics SystemWe use the genetics system in several different situations:
• When creating a Para from scratch in the Paramaker: The game analyzes their current features and deduces the genome data corresponding to the actual look of the character. If the character has “unnatural” traits (like pink eyes or green skin), their genetic data is randomly assigned.
• When creating a Para from two parents: Whether you’re in the Paramaker or Live mode gameplay (by getting pregnant), the game generates a child by following the inheritance rules we’ve explained above, from the genetics data of the two parents.
• When adding a parent or sibling in the Paramaker: The system uses existing genetic data to generate the new family member so that everything fits together nicely.
• Not implemented yet (but might be an update in the future): An advanced genetics interface for all the geeky players out there wanting to control their Para’s genetics themselves.
Note: Babies and toddlers don’t have access to full sliders, so their features might look a bit generic at first. But don’t worry, their genetic data is still computed and saved, and once they grow up, they should reveal their true heritage!Here is the updated look of the interface for creating characters with genetics! Note that right now, only two options are available (Create Child, Create Twin), but there should be more soon (Create Parent, Create Sibling). You can choose the sex and the life stage of the child you want to randomize.
