Making a wishlist, checking it twice

[lethal fable]

Rather than expanding on just one topic this week, I want to give you more concise updates across several topics we're working on, based on your requests from our https://discord.com/channels/1162040845181124618/1173546399158243378.

I make it a priority to read every comment you leave on Kjun’s Concerns and take the time to explore the creative ideas you share on our wishlist. Let's look at the progress we’ve made on some of your requested features.

• Facial Capture to Create a Face Template: After seeing our live Facial Capture and our AI-assisted 3D Printer, we noticed many of you naturally wanting to apply these concepts to automatically creating faces for your Zois. It’s a great idea that could certainly simplify your Create-a-Zoi experience. While we’re still in our early stages of development, we are indeed working on a feature that is slightly different but is inspired by how we iterate custom assets on Build Mode.
• Interactions with Animals: A popular request was being able to adopt the animals in the city as pets. As someone who loves animals (the cats in inZOI were inspired by the strays I meet during my afternoon walks), I’m happy to let you know that pet-related features are in the plans. You can expect these features to arrive after our Early Access launch.
• Limited Floors in Build Mode: One feature I took great pride in was being able to build houses with unlimited floors (as many as your PC would allow). However, after careful consideration of issues that arise from extremely tall buildings, we have sadly decided to set a maximum cap of 30 floors 😢 We hope you can understand our decision and still continue to enjoy building within this limit 🙏
• Tutorial for New Players: While experienced life sim players will likely adapt quickly, we found that inZOI’s many features could be overwhelming to new players of the genre. To help with that, we’re working on a friendly, comprehensive tutorial to make sure everyone can get started smoothly.
• Gas Station: Though this wasn’t the most upvoted item, it's something that piqued my interest, especially since we already have dedicated locations for it. While we're on the fence about whether cars would actually put in gas at the gas station (I'm aware that's its main purpose 😂), we can definitely place small convenience stores and bathrooms you can use while you (pretend to) wait for your car to fill up (Interesting fact, Korean gas stations do not have convenience stores in gas stations like in some western countries!).
• Fighting - Some of you pointed out that our current slapping mechanism doesn't tell the full story in expressing 'fights' in inZOI. To address this, we added new motions and a system that determines the winner of a fight based on specific stats each Zoi has. We believe this can add more depth in creating interesting stories in inZOI.

Since I gave you many updates today, I woud like to ask you for a favor in return 🤝

The truth is, everyone on our team has been working tirelessly to prepare for our Early Access launch. To show my appreciation for their hard work, I’d like to surprise them with a memorable gift! What’s the most meaningful gift you’ve ever received? Or do you have any suggestions for a thoughtful way to thank our team members? Your ideas could help make their day truly special 🙌

(Please keep this a secret from our team members 🤫 Most of them don’t read my columns, anyway 🤣)

As we wrap up this month and prepare for Korea's national holiday, our team will be out of office next week, so Kjun's Concerns will take a short one-week break. Wishing everyone a wonderful end to January, and I’ll see you all in two weeks!

[icy wave]

Have a good break!

[remote berry]

Nice, Love seeing the progress and enjoy the break!

[compact snow]

Have a wonderful break!

Excited to adopt every single stray I find in game.

[wide kite]

Have a wonderful break! Everyone’s working so hard!

[snow stone]

Mod is here! Remember to be respectful and make sure your critiques are constructive and positive!

[honest matrix]

Gas stations would be amazing 😍

[kind grove]

Enjoy your break! You guys definitely deserve it. I think the best gift I've ever gotten has always been something meaningful and personal to me. Doesn't have to be expensive, just thoughtful and heartfelt

[wary ginkgo]

Love the Gas Station feature being considered. Enjoy your break!

As for a possible gift for the staff...possibly a staff get together or night out for dinner. Just to relax together as a group.

[cyan hatch]

The nicest things are rather common things to want, but you never seem to get yourself.

Though speaking as an employee, I always loved when the boss would take the team to dinner and specifically congratulate accomplishments.

[fierce niche]

I'd love to be able to have parrots for pets as well! I just recently lost my beloved bird of 20 years and I would love to create a version of him in the game. So very excited for pets to be featured in the future.

And I agree, an awesome dinner to show appreciation.

[wicked rapids]

[delicate silo]

A NICE VACATION FOR THE AMA,ING HARDWORKING TEAM!!!

[runic mulch]

Im so excited for this game! You guys have worked so hard, you deserve a well-earned break!!

[frigid wyvern]

Thanks to the hardworking team behind Inzoi! Let's give them some New Year's money XD jkjk, but how about creating a vlog style video and watching with your team? Looking back on everyone's time developing the game over some pizza sounds pretty chill.

Happy Lunar New Year! Hope y'all have a good break ^^

[minor lily]

Kjun and the staff who made inZOI have worked hard. I think if it were me, I would like to invite the employees to travel to Taiwan and eat Taiwanese food. I am really looking forward to the pet related functions. I can't wait to play inZOI! I'm about to welcome March! I also wish you a wonderful holiday!🫶🏻 🩷

[nova ridge]

Pet interactions would be so fun I also love the gas station idea! It will be a great little stop for immersive gameplay.

In regards to a gift for your team, taking them out for a fun group activity/dinner would be really nice.

Thank you guys for all your hard work and I hope you all have a great holiday break!

[sick shoal]

Inzoi is gonna change gaming. Kjun and team i hope yall understand how appreciative
we are for this game coming out in march i know many will cry tears of joy

[lament harness]

I’m loving the new things that are gonna be added, each new added aspect is gonna have me enjoy and help me immensely, and is not what I expected to be added. To help you out on the surprise try to have something that speaks from the heart like what would this person like or where would my team have fun at.
I wanted to thank you and your team for working really hard it SHOWS how passionate yall are and I LOVE what I’m seeing. Hope yall enjoy yall break 💜🙏🏾💙

[sage siren]

"we have sadly decided to set a maximum cap of 30 floors" Is an Insane-level apology and an incredible flex

[dark jetty]

Appreciate all the hard work Kjun!! Really love how you guys are taking the time to listen to our concerns and ideas and implementing them for us♥️ As for rewarding your team for the hard work, I would suggest just buying small lil gifts for your team and taking them to dinner

[winter torrent]

Have a good break

[haughty prairie]

Rest for awhile sensei

[spare canyon]

Thank you thank you thank you for all that you and your team have been doing. I can only imagine how tired and drained you all are working so hard before Early Access.
These are wonderful and once again, you truly do master the art of compromise. Thank you for taking the time to read the wishlist and reach out to us. Your constant updates and messages are always a highlight of my day.

As for treating your team, I'm not sure how many people are apart of it, but maybe you could treat them to a nice meal or provide them with a gift card, treat them to a spa or massage, or, maybe just give them a spontaneous day off of work so that they can all rest and spend time with their familes. You all deserve to take some rest and relaxation time. Be kind to yourselves and your body and mind.

I sincerely hope that you and your amazing team enjoy your holiday break. ❤️

[latent phoenix]

Have a super fantastic break! and thanks for all the consideration to this game and HARD WORK!

my suggestions for your team a gift would be
*bonus for that week
*paying them for a week or day that's a holiday
*bringing a thank you card with a small goody bag
*maybe a raise
*bring coffee and sweets for a week for the team
honestly multiple ways to show appreciation. The one that means the most to me, would be for my boss to personally come to me and praise for and letting me know what I have done or doing hasn't gone unnoticed

[half quail]

Thank you again for the always informative and amazing updates Kjun!! I think having a cap of 30 floors is quite fair and is something we’ve never been able to do within a “life sim” game. I’m definitely excited to explore the building mode!!

Some of the best gifts I’ve received from my job are..

1. A company sponsored dinner at a nice restaurant.

2. A gift card to my favorite store

3. Company sponsored Group outing to do a team building activity (Ex: Escape Room, Golf, Arcade games)

[sturdy scroll]

have a fantastic break!! thanks for the hard work that you put in!!

for treating your team, bring them on a outing? like maybe a team bonding? give them off time to spend time with themselves and families !

[tired canopy]

Have a good break!

[spring mulch]

Thank you for this update, it's great to see that you're taking our feedback into account! I'm really excited about the animal interactions, and the 30-floor limit is understandable. For your team, why not offer personalized thank-you cards or a small surprise party to mark the occasion? Enjoy your break and congratulations

[mild bobcat]

Thank you for the update. I'm so excited for all of these little changes, especially the gas station. Even if I'm not able to fill my car up with gas, it does add that unique and immersive experience to be able to enter the store and play out a story in your head.

I hope you and everyone on the team gets to enjoy this break to the fullest and return feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. ❤️

As for gifts, perhaps you could write or print out letters to deliver to everyone in the office? Personalized notes would take a long time to get done, but it's a very kind and thoughtful gesture to let everyone know how much they're valued and appreciated. You could also invite everyone out to dinner or lunch, let people drink and share smiles with one another? I always enjoy group outings with my co-workers personally.

[forest kraken]

I'm really excited for these features! Hopefully we'll be able to train our pets as well (giving high five, fetch, using the toilet instead of the litter box 😅)

As for the gifts, coupons and gift cards are always a win!

[keen epoch]

Can we just take a moment and appreciate Kjun and the team for their creativity, personnality and management for this projetcs like wow you guys are freaking caring and engaging. love you guys

[brittle merlin]

Thanks for the update!
I'd appreciate it if the tutorial was optional. Tutorials are good, but as a long-time gamer, I like it when I get the choice and can explore the game on my own first (that's half the fun of picking up a new game for me) and only play the tutorial if I really can't figure it out.

The most memorable gift I got from my employer was a very high-quality rain jacket (of course it also had a small company logo on it, so it wasn't completely without purpose for them either 😆) Second place would be one of those LED spotlights that can change colors, intensity etc. via a remote. That was a long time ago though. We grew a lot and nowadays we usually get useful small stuff, like a good knife, branded cutting board, socks with our logo, umbrella, ... (That's all Christmas presents though. In between there's sometimes T-shirts and/or hoodies)

Gifts in general, not specifically from my employer, I think the best ones were tickets for an event together with them (e.g. a concert, ballet, etc., stuff they know I like). I can't imagine that's an option for you in this case though...

I don't know if you have regular "team events", but we do and those are always a lot of fun. Like going to an amusement park, a cooking course together (when we were still smaller), a canoe trip, ... Maybe that would be an option for you? We also regularly have cake with the team when there's something to celebrate, like a bigger release or a special milestone reached etc.

[young sapphire]

Kjun, ur a sweet person 🥹🫶🏻
I love everything you mentioned here.
Aand i cant recommend any gifts for the team, BUT i would love to see a journal if i was in the team 😅 like a "book" or something full of memories during the making of the game (before the early access ofc xd) If you have pictures of them or something... If you dont, then sorry i cant help 😭

[opal solar]

Thank you for the updates. We appreciate you Kjun ❤️
One of my fav gifts was my friends buying me random items that are my fav color, orange

[earnest kayak]

Thank you for the updates 🫶🏾

[errant nymph]

Thank you for the updates!

One of the best gifts I got was an escape game with my colleagues and boss. I don't know if it's popular in Korea but in France it is! We went then to a bar and had some drinks and snacks 🙂
I don't know how many devs work for InZoi but escape games are cool for small teams.
If the team is bigger I would also recommend a party with a buffet (either somewhere in the office, or elsewhere like a private bar) with some good music to dance to!

[past spear]

Thank you for the update!

[plucky heron]

That sounds really cool. I don't know. Maybe go out and 🎳 I don't know if you already talked about it. But what about seasons (spring, summer, fall, and winter) will that be added to the game as well? Like in the sim?

[upbeat topaz]

Hello! I hope you’re having a wonderful day.

I’m truly so happy with everything you and your amazing team are doing. We all deeply appreciate your efforts in developing this incredible game. Honestly, I’m counting down the days until the release—I can’t wait! Every time you share updates in (Kjun’s Concerns), I feel like I’m bursting with excitement, haha!

Anyway, we wish you all a joyful holiday. As a suggestion, maybe consider gifting your team things they personally love—though let’s be honest, everyone loves money, right? Haha! They truly deserve it for all their hard work.

[pliant orbit]

can we add this? https://discord.com/channels/1162040845181124618/1275271434242883687 ?

[fallen ledge]

Facial Capture🧏‍♀️: I don't know if it's possible but can a workaround be implemented to other devices other than iPhone. Many of us don't have iPhones to use the facial capture mode.

Interactions with animals🐯: I would love to adopt stray animals off the street. Can some animals be locked in a zoo or its natural habits? It's odd to see wild animals running around the city and Zois can go up to them without being harmed.

I can understand alligators in a Florida inspired city.

Or bears and foxes running around cities next to a forest but I think there should be a danger level applied to these animals. Where you can call animal control when you spot a wild animal.

Limited Floors🌇: I'm okay with the limit.

Tutorial for New Players📣: Could my idea of a tour guide be implemented for the Live Play features? I think it would be cool to have a tour guide to tell you all the information on buildings, venues, it's functions/capabilities and back stories.https://discord.com/channels/1162040845181124618/1257973761840250890

Gas Station ⛽: I so want this 1000%. It would be cool if it's also had a terminal for electric cars. And a place for repairs.

Fighting🗡️: I want fighting please! Also for the cinematic mode can we have various fighting animations to create movies but don't have to ruin relationships to do it?

A meaningful gift: A pay raise is the best way to honour the team members for a legendary game that they are making. So they can feel appreciated. I know I used to be pissed as an employee hearing about record sales we helped create and all we got was a pizza party. I don't know if Krafton or InZOI is on the stocks for South Korea. Maybe Stock Options? It has to be a gift that is beneficial to them in the long run. I can only imagine the hard work, the long hours and pressure they are under to make this game a success.

[vague pecan]

i love that pets coming like cats dogs after it come out it mean lot to me have pets at home and have lovely week break

[grave cobalt]

I can’t wait for this to come out I can’t stop watching videos about it

[cerulean lagoon]

OH MY GOD, PETS!!! Thank you so much for this, Kjun! 😭😭 this game is becoming my dream game, I could almost cry.

About the gifts:
Sadly i dont think I ever received a gift from my boss 🤣😭 but i'd love to get some holidays (or like some off afternoons) to recharge, maybe a spa day, or maybe a small trip with the team. I do love the mentions here to go do a group game like an escape room, i did one once and it was so fun. I do not like team dinners so much, its kinda bland and boring but...! Everyone is different.

Also, wanted to ask if we will eventually get a teams picture!!! Doesnt need to show faces but it'd be so awesome to see how/where Inzoi team develops this amazing game

And also, will we ever get real Inzoi merch? I want to buy the cute inzoi cat as plushie

[buoyant bluff]

You absolutely deserve a break! ❤️

[minor lily]

rest, you did a great job

[vapid falcon]

I have no words to describe the amazing work you’re doing. Even just in early access, it’s absolutely top-notch! I imagined something super cozy and relaxing for the team, where everyone can feel good and recharge their energy. The idea is to have a spa experience, with a delicious meal, followed by a movie session in a super comfortable environment, filled with blankets and cushions (if possible). And to make the moment even more special, offer Inzoi personalized pajamas with words of appreciation. If possible, it would be interesting for us, the players, to send letters or videos to you, the developers, as a way to thank you for how much you are transforming the life simulation game genre and impacting our lives. Thank you!

[fervent axle]

A realistic family life and a lot of interaction with babies, toddlers and children. What is missing a lot in certain life simulation games is the interactions with the children so it would be great for example to be able to go out in town with your baby by walking him in a stroller or baby carrier, but also for example to be able to prepare the bottles using powdered milk or your own infant formula for example. Being able to share the bed with your baby to learn food diversification by making him small dishes, having to buy a car seat for the children in order to be able to transport them with us in the car and can Be bring them to school in the morning etc..

[simple sable]

Obrigada Kjun! Descanse, você merece 🥰😘❤️

[exotic trout]

Have a wonderful break! I say for a good gift for the team would be tickets to a spa 🤩 where there will be complimentary dinning and vouches of 1 free massage session 👀

[cloud ether]

Thank you! ❤️ A great gift for your employees could be a massage and spa day that they could enjoy with their families! I think that's when you have been working long with colleagues, u kinda miss hanging out and just relaxing with your families.❤️ Or just give money so they can decide for themselves what to do.

1: Facial Capture to Create a Face Template, was something I wanted but didn't wish for because I thought it wasn't gonna be done. But I'm so happy you guys did it! ----more options for different face shapes, noses, moth, eyelids, eyebrows and so on would make this feature work. Looking forward to it!

2: Interactions with animals, is something that would be do cute! To be able to feed them, adopt and place an umbrella over them when it rains.

3: Limited Floors in Build Mode, 30 floors is great! It's so much and it's a great number for usable floors! U can even make a skyscrape!

4: Tutorial for New Players, is great. Hope it can be turned on and off at choise. I remember being so confused when I played my first life simulator game.

5: Gas station, is something so necessary and good! I hope zois can actually we work there, cars can be washed there to and maybe it has a little store. Love it!

6: Fighting, this is my favorite!!! I hope we can have different kind of fights and even a sport that specifies and a sport. It would be fun seeing two different fight styles used against each other. Also visible effects of a fight on the zoi that got hurt, not graphic but not animated.

Thank you!!❤️❤️ Fighting! Hehe

[harsh nymph]

a nice gift for their hardwork could be a big fat bonus

[vapid falcon]

The Idea: Implementing a Kafroton AI in the game that can automatically generate faces based on artificial intelligence. The AI would have the ability to create a wide variety of faces with different features and styles. The main advantage of this system is that, instead of players having to manually draw or adjust everything, the AI would generate an initial face based on factors like:

Face shape
Eyes
Nose
Mouth
Skin tone
Etc...

The AI would automatically generate these faces according to the player's initial preferences or a pre-defined style based on the user's choices. Once the initial face is generated, the player could then refine and further personalize it by adjusting characteristics like eye color, nose shape, or skin tone, for example.

This approach provides several benefits:

Practicality: The AI would generate faces quickly, saving time for players who don't want to spend too much time creating a character from scratch, while still offering customization options.

Security: Since the AI generates faces without using real images, the player's privacy would be respected.

Variety: The AI can create diverse faces, representing different ethnicities, features, and styles, making each character unique.

Player choice: The AI could suggest an initial face, but the player would have full freedom to adjust and personalize the face according to their preferences.

[cunning monolith]

Hello, Kjun! 😊

First of all, thank you so much for sharing these updates with us.
I’m thrilled to see so many features being considered and worked on! I honestly wasn’t expecting all of this, but I can confidently say I loved it!

Please, don’t ask us to understand the 30-floor limit—ask us to CELEBRATE because we’re popping champagne! Seriously, 30 floors is more than we’ve ever had in any life simulation game—it’s a massive achievement!

As for the Gas Station: I love the idea of convenience stores and restrooms! And I have to admit, when I first saw it, I briefly wondered if my car’s gas would ever run out so I could visit the station and refuel. If that ever becomes possible, I’d love it. But even if it doesn’t, just having a function for this location is already amazing! Even if it’s “just for fun,” these small interactions make the world feel so much more alive and immersive.

As for the gift for the team, I think something that celebrates both the collective effort and the individual journeys of each member would be very special. Perhaps a unique experience they can share together, like a day off in an inspiring place, or even something symbolic, like a personalized item (for example, a piece of art or a journal with thank-you messages from you and the community).

You could even ask some people from the community to send a short video, compile them, and present them to the team—something like, “How InZoi changed your perspective on the life simulation genre.”

You pour so much heart into what you do, and it would be amazing to give back something that reflects that love and dedication.

Finally, I’d like to thank you all for your incredible work. I wish the entire team a well-deserved break during the holiday, and I can’t wait to see what’s coming next!

[minor lily]

I would love gas stations and I like this idea as a gift for them tbh

[blazing ocean]

Where is the video?

[pallid trout]

wow, what an Awesome Boss you are nothing says thank you like A show of appreciation and acknowledgment for hard work.

[shy shoal]

Yay, thank you for sharing updates, I am personally excited for pets features to come. I hope you and your amazing team enjoy a well deserved time off. As for appreciation gift - little trinkets are nice, but they come and go, get lost and forgotten, but experiences create memories. I think having a fun day out, like bowling, or theme park where they can bond and build relationships outside work related tasks. A workplace that feels like family is probably everyones dream job. On that note I have a silly, fun idea: everyone knows Kjun, but your wonderful hardworking team is the invisible driving force. Can you make them into townies in game? I'd love to see and get to know them even if it's through game. Walking/ talking game credits that's another level 😄. Enjoy your holidays!

[blazing ocean]

CONGRATULATIONS on your Fight, gas station upgrade choices

[wild grove]

Gift ? Skydive

[tired idol]

In Brazil, the average height of urban buildings is 42 to 47 floors. I know it's asking a lot, but can't you set the floor limit to at least 45? 😭 Of course it's not a requirement, because I already think this 30-story height limit is incredible, but it would be cool to have "unstable" features with warnings that things might go wrong. Many games in general do this. How about this feature in Inzoi?

[opal lake]

Please create channels for speak other languages, portuguese, spanish, french etc
🇪🇸🇫🇷

[cunning iron]

When I did my final exams my mom got most of sims dlcs
For all the team maybe a great Lunch or Office party.

Pa as we are giving a lot of fresh ideas for the game could we get some merch or a little discount or something pleseee

[stray spindle]

Buy them some yummy food!! Have a nice break!

[young swallow]

These updates all sounds great! I'm especially excited about the facial capture to create a face template 😄 I saw the Brazil comment about taller building cap, here's my idea to add on to their comment. Have it set to default 30, and in the settings have an option to turn on "unstable building" with a higher cap, say 50.

[stray tartan]

Have a nice break Kjun :]

[ionic mountain]

Ohhh i think gas stations with an attached convenience store would be amazing!! Especially if your zoi could go in there and talk to people or get a little snack! Thank for your hard work as always 🫰

[candid turtle]

Wow, thanks for updating us on this all. I'm eager to see what you come up with for the create a Zoi. Interactions with animals will be especially popular. Everyone says the Sims pets expansions are their best sellers. To have this in your base game! 🎯💕
30 floors is plenty. Especially if the methods you already mentioned for adding dummy floors are still included.
A Tutorial will be nice, especially with build mode. No matter how similar you made it to other games, we will still need to get used to a new user interface, and all that.
Gas stations will be interesting to use in the game. Interesting fact time, in the state of New Jersey, it is actually illegal to pump your own gas. So they hire an attendant to do it for you.
On Fighting, I think in the Sims it is a random occurrence if you win or lose a fight. It will be realistic to have the character's physical fitness or skills effect this.
I hope your team enjoys their holiday. As to gift ideas, you already have a lot of ideas here. Your appreciation for the work they do is essential.

[quartz phoenix]

Gas Station is a brilliant idea, also if u could work there too would be awesome 😄

[gentle forge]

This is such an amazing update Kjun!

Ideas to give our thanks to the dev team... I know back in college, durring group projects, bringing a nice hot home cooked meal not only cheered my classmates up, but also gave them some energy as well. So maybe bringing the dev team some snacks and beverages durring the day while they work would be helpful!

[wispy nebula]

Thank you for the update! I’ll admit, I’m a little sad about the thirty-floor limit, but it’s completely understandable—and definitely better than a four-floor limit. I’d suggest rewarding your team with a well-deserved bonus and maybe an extra day or two off. You’ve all been working tirelessly on our requests and making this game your top priority. Thank you so much, and please pass along my gratitude to the entire team!

[small sequoia]

Who is really gonna build more than 30 floors 🤣

[unique spire]

I really want a gas station that we can uses for traffic reasons and have road side assistance but I understand everything is still in work, enjoy your holiday!

[marsh kettle]

The gas station system is essential and mandatory, and if the car runs out, a red light starts beeping, asking Zoi to refuel. I can’t wait for my Zoi boyfriend to chill in the car while my protagonist buys some snacks and soda at the convenience store. Slayyy queen vibes all the way!

[torn sandal]

From work, memorial gifts include Bluetooth speakers, iPod nano (haha I'm old), a fire resistant sweater (I need that for my job), a trip overseas (not a gift but it's memorable).

Hmmm maybe you guys can go camping! It's team building too.

Thx for the update! Haha I'm not going to build past 6 (?) floors or whatever you said was the most stable. Thx for giving an option for 30 floors (I'll probably try that on my next PC).

Filling up gas is a great feature.

I remember when I took a Korea trip, there's rest stops outside the city. It was so cool because you can buy food. I think that's the culture difference. Also I noticed Asia's convenience stores are cooler than in my city. I'd actually want to eat the food. Lol

[wet mist]

Have a lovely well deserved break! I always love quality time with or without colleagues. The other day i got a restaurant reservation from my boss in a high quality restaurant. This was very nice! But I was also happy with a smaller gift as a chocolat bar that was personolized with my name and a personal poem. Ps is it also possible to charge the electric car at the gas station?

[main sedge]

Thank you for your hardwork! You should probably treat them a big korean BBQ 😉

[cunning iron]

A plus in the salary would be nice for the team too or a small trip

[pale silo]

Some ideas I think your team would greatly appreciate: surprise treats or a surprise lunch with their favorite food and/or snacks, an team outing or fun activity, personalized thank you cards with a treat attached, Etc. Also a Huge Thank You to you and your team from me! You guys are amazing! 🎊🥲

[woeful wyvern]

For the Team Leader gifts what about gifting them some Crypto?
And, related to the game, maybe give the team members NPC characters within the game that relates to their character and personalities?

[obsidian mulch]

Have a great break! You all deserve it!

[small torrent]

Thank you so much for working as hard as you are. Although I appreciate it, definitely take breaks once in while and I hope you have a great break. It’s very sweet to give gifts to all those working. This may be a one time gift but giving a big fest is always nice. Coming together with a lot of their favorite foods would be nice with little gift bags with candy and maybe company mugs or tumblers. It could be like a surprise party for them with balloons and cake. A memorable gift to me wasn’t really a material thing but it made me feel appreciated and loved. Maybe it was half and half. It was something we did as a family and that was having this big party celebration. So that’s my thought, but again have a great week and see you later☺️

[rare stream]

Have a great break!! ❤️ And thank you all for working so hard on this game. We all appreciate every single one of you.

[blazing hornet]

Happy to see that InZoi won't lean totally to everyone is a GREAT and Wonderful Person. Just like in real Life there are good people and bad. We need a balance between both. Glad there will be fighting elements incoporated into the game.

[autumn juniper]

I think 30 floors is plenty!

[worldly radish]

Thanks so much for all your hard works. You guys are great 👍

I just have a question will you be adding the feature from the wishlist for AI interaction between zois? Like maybe zois could communicate with each other through AI?

Again Thanks very much for your hard work 😊

[coarse phoenix]

Can we have a film industry in blissbay. We can call it Zoiwood. Sets, contracts, movie premiers, award shows, private parties, red carpets, budgets, exclusive neighborhoods, paparazzi, fans, stalkers.

[primal mango]

30 floors is really great!!

[knotty field]

Thanks for letting us know about the topics you guys are working on

[rich pelican]

Thank you so much for the update! We appreciate it very much! As for a gift to the team, I would say vote on lunch and an activity you can all do together to have some more bonding time. That day should also be a half day to give everyone a chance to relax and enjoy.

[sterile sail]

nice.

[dapper rock]

Kjun made sure to feed us before he took his much deserved one week break! Thank you! 🥰 I think it's so wild how Kjun made a cry emoji about no unlimited floors. 30 floors is still insane Kjun! 🤣🤣 I love that the Inzoi team has such high standards!

For a gift I think you could give the team all brackets with commemorate the early access release date, the braclets will have a cat on them, the Inzoi logo and 28th March! Another good gift idea would be to make a special massage room for them to use on short breaks while making the game. Like an office spa!

[thick atlas]

Wow, incredible updates on our wishlist items. I can't wait to see what other surprises we get from the wishlist!

I think 30 floors is an insane amount anyway. We will live. 😅
The gas station idea is perfect! 👏
I love animals and I'm so excited for more animal interactions and future pets! 🥰

As far as gifts, I have a few suggestions. These can also be combined:

1. Using my own job as an example, we get rewarded occasionally with time off awards. The time off can be in hours or days and they never expire.
2. Going out for lunch or dinner as a group once every quarter of the year. This can help create stronger bonds and boost morale. Something to look forward to.
3. Using my cousin's job as an example, she gets an international trip once a year with hotel and flight paid (she even gets to invite a family member to go with her). Maybe instead of international, you can do a team trip to Jeju island or some other relaxing and beautiful place when the weather is warmer?

I'll update this post if I think of anything else.
Hope your team has a restful week and you as well! Thank you!

[drowsy moth]

Omg they added the gas station i was asking for sooo much! Yay yay!! And 30 floord holy molly haha thankyou soooo much kjun and i hope use have a amazing break and we are all soo excited for march!

[grizzled wagon]

I’m excited to adopt animals! I’m an animal lover and just want pets so badly! Enjoy ur holiday!

[eternal cargo]

❤️ I like the idea of one day including gangs or maybe fight clubs (or perhaps martial arts… taekwondo?) in the game, to possibly combine the fighting system with the crime system. If martial arts clubs were one day added, you could also sprinkle in elements of culture into it. Maybe each town or certain towns have a unique fighting style and/or skill you can learn?

[urban coral]

I hope we can have holiday decor added to the game 😊 but I want to thank the team so much for all their hard work! Thank you for listening to us, our concerns, our wishlists. You guys have already done a amazing job! To me this game is a gift. Early access is a gift. What is already in the game now is a gift, all future updates is just extra. So today the thing I want to say most is thank you!! ❤️

[fervent patrol]

I think 30 floors is more than enough to do anything people wished to do with unlimited floors! ✨

I am SO excited about gas stations being added!

On that subject, even if the team decides cars in the game will not require gas, would you consider adding a “Pump Gas” interaction to the stations for visual immersion? ✨ It would be cool to as least have the option has an animation, even if it’s just for show ☺️

As for the gift, my favorite gifts have always been food related, so maybe a company dinner or a food-filled outing! Providing great food is always a great way to say you care and appreciate people.

[urban coral]

I think the team earned a good meal ❤️

[acoustic dune]

Unlimited floors..TT

[upbeat topaz]

Hello kjun🤍

It’s truly amazing to see the continuous development of the game, and I’m incredibly excited because in just two months, I’ll finally get to play my dream game!

However, there are a few aspects I noticed haven’t been discussed yet. I understand that you’re still working on them, but I wanted to share some ideas that could enhance the experience even further:
• Interactions with babies and children: It would be wonderful if mothers could breastfeed their babies, either naturally or with formula, change their diapers, play with them, cuddle them, help them crawl or walk, bathe them, buy them gifts, and take photos of them.
• Pregnancy: Including symptoms and complications could add a realistic touch. For instance, morning sickness, food cravings, aversions, mood swings, weight gain, concerns about the baby, frequent naps, or frequent bathroom visits.
• Childbirth: It would be nice if childbirth took place in a hospital, followed by some postpartum challenges like heavy bleeding, breast pain, milk blockage, pelvic pain, back pain, swelling, or postpartum depression.

Additionally:
• Parents helping their children with schoolwork, feeling worried when a child gets sick or stays out late.
• Romantic interactions between couples: Holding hands, hugs, kisses, and even planning engagements by buying a ring and proposing. Weddings could be more interactive, where we organize the event ourselves, including dancing with partners.
• Jealousy and arguments between spouses or lovers, sibling rivalry, or setting personal goals like achieving a new career position, fitness milestones, academic excellence, or learning something new.

These are just some of the small yet meaningful details that could make the game even more immersive and realistic. I truly believe that you’re committed to delivering the best life simulation experience possible, and I’m confident the game will exceed all expectations!

[wicked rapids]

Facial Capture to create a face template. If he means like upload a photo of facial to inZOI Caz. This will SAVE more than 1 hour to finish one character.

My goodness this is scary! BUT WICKED! ⭐️

[wanton locust]

I am super excited for this game, I have been waiting for a game like this for over a decade. Kjun, I thank you so much for this game. And I appreciate your team so much for working so hard on this game. You have helped me get back into gaming.

I believe a very nice dinner, and gift cards with a thank you card for all their hard work into a amazing game.

[proven folio]

Gift : a massage trip, 1 day at a spa 🙂

[young cosmos]

make the elevators so that they actually go up and work, not like a teleporter.

[candid turtle]

Oh yeah, with 30 floors, elevators will be mandatory. I do hope you add them to your base game. And at least having it animated to open and close with the Zoi's stepping in and out.

[fair spade]

Awesome! Hope you guys enjoy your break!

I like the new way fight will be sounds much better, but there should still be the chances that someone wins even though their stats are worse than the other! Thing don't go people's ways always!!

[frozen lava]

This rotten customization feature works well with the proposed AI to create Zois' faces from facial scans, allowing facial hair details to be mapped in-game and aiding other features such as the growth of facial hair itself. https://discord.com/channels/1162040845181124618/1331086517422264321

[kindred kindle]

I would vote for a surprising vacations to this wonderful and hardworking team 💪💪👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[quartz phoenix]

would be cool to have haircuts and at least an option to make ZOI's hairs grow

[dull sequoia]

have a nice break, you deserved it! the best gift for staff is probably a nice dinner with some drinks to celebrate your hard work 🌷🌸

[hazy zephyr]

Nice update this time!

Good work to you all and as for the present for the team.

1: Psycat plushie, because the team needs their own exclusive for working on the game.
2: Drinks and dinner for the team.
3: Take the team out for a weekend hotel/spa somewhere nice you all deserve it, (Can be combined with nr.2).

[karmic herald]

If you do the gas stations - can we have a thing to tell us the car engine is off I only ask cause as A GTA Roleplayer I have slight ptsd game wise of being blown up 😂. The best I would suggest is maybe have a dedication to each part of your team for something they worked on and a personal Zoi of them to walk us through tutorials? Just a thought! Enjoy your breaks guys!

[torpid kestrel]

You could always put everyone in a zoi NPC or take a break you guys have done so much for us

[midnight jasper]

I wish their was a way for us the community to give them a special gift to thank them for their hard work and making a dream game for us.

[molten owl]

For gift you can take a inzoi cake 😃

[inland quartz]

Wow, you are progressing incredibly well in the game, congratulations to you and your team! I can't wait until the end of March! Amazing to see how a game this good will be even more complete in early access than another with lots of addons!

Generally in my company when we have finished a large order or the superiors are happy, we have a shared snack or everyone brings a dessert.
Otherwise we also did an intergration/relaxation day with group games which allows you to relax by learning things about your colleagues in a relaxing atmosphere with a buffet at lunchtime.

I wish you a good week of vacation and a happy national holiday.

[thorny coral]

I think it's truly wonderful and refreshing to hear from you in this way.
I truly wish the very best for you and your team.
I hope you give them and yourself the breaks you need for times of rest and refreshing for yourselves.
I think a gift for your team could be a delicious meal along with a gift basket full of useful and sweet items for your team would be a good idea, but I'm sure you will do something wonderful for them.
Please enjoy your holiday and time off🙏🏾💕🥰

[minor lily]

since there are already pee dance animations, I'd love to see a feature like the pants wetting in the sims, where a puddle forms under your character if they don't make it. Bonus points if their pants get wet. It's very immersive for me.

[mossy fog]

A tree planted for each team member: A symbolic and sustainable gesture to celebrate their hard work.

[vernal gull]

Enjoy your well-deserved time off! I’m eagerly waiting for the moment you add a Czech translation to the game. The best gift would be a well-deserved recreational day for families, where employees could bring their families for the entire day to celebrate, with attractions for their children and entertainment.

[hollow edge]

a nice break to the BEST hardworking team!!! Love y'all 💜❤️💛

[narrow drum]

Gas stations would be amazing. The nicest non monetary recognition I received from a boss was a surprise lunch at a restaurant the team ordered from often

Everything sounds like it's shaping up nicely! And honestly, the best thing you can give an employee is time or money.

[silk wren]

Have Good Break

[muted escarp]

My favorite gift was from my team at work who created a word map from adjectives my colleagues used to describe me. They printed it and framed it and it makes me cry every time I look at it (happy tears!)

[meager cairn]

3

[quasi creek]

Count me as someone who would really like to have to fill your car's gas tank from time to time. Having to do some basic maintenance and cleaning on your car to keep it in great shape would be very immersive.

[opal lake]

[dawn radish]

Kjun. I personally think that integrating a wide range of boxing and martial arts styles into Inzoi fights enhances combat depth and unpredictability. Striking arts include aggressive Swarmers, tactical Out-Boxers, power-focused Sluggers, and adaptable Boxer-Punchers, alongside hybrid styles like Muay Thai, Karate, Taekwondo, Kickboxing, and Savate. Grappling arts emphasize control with BJJ, Judo, Wrestling, Sambo, and Shuai Jiao, supported by hybrid styles like Catch Wrestling and Luta Livre. Weapon-based disciplines such as Kendo, Eskrima, Kobudo, Iaido, and Haidong Gumdo introduce unique combat elements, with hybrids like HEMA adding historical techniques. This diverse integration fosters dynamic, strategic, and engaging fights.

[mossy fog]

You could consider taking them out to a quality in every way restaurant after a recreation hang out party and individual relative considerable bonus pay checks. Of course all within finacially within reason.

[drowsy moth]

Ano to ano 100% !!!

[old quiver]

i know yall are may consider multiplayer, if you do, maybe settings to limit build height and other taxing features on your computer

[hollow vigil]

Everything you and your team have done these weeks sounds hard-working and super cool. I am very proud of you. The 30 floors are perfect and I am really looking forward to having the pets in the house. My gift idea might be a game set with a new mouse pad or a valuable voucher for Steam or shops or a trip to another country for Inzoi's 1st birthday.

[arctic hazel]

Designate a room in your office for cat daycare and as a relaxing wind-down spot.

[pallid trout]

want to Thank you and your team so much Kjun for your hard work and dedication in bringing back fun and excitement to the simulation gaming community.

[earnest hornet]

the ability for Zois to sleep in hotels, with hotels that players can build themselves, when the Zoi goes to a different city and chooses to stay for several days here. For exemple, work or school trip, holidays, festivals...

[cunning iron]

Y forgot the first of all shaolin kung fu

[exotic ivy]

I actually like that idea. Having the ability to travel to other playable areas as a tourist. Someone living in Dowon, or Bliss Bay, or Cahaya (Depending on where the player chooses where their Zoi would like to live in.) could go to one of the other two places. (And more, when more places get added.)

Now something else curiously came into mind: Would traveling to other places could cost a lot of Mew (Meow?) currency to travel to other places for an X amount of days/weeks, just like in reality how plane tickets are very expensive?

[earnest hornet]

What could be nice is also to "borrow" the appart of another Zoi in another city because this Zoi "is going on holidays". We could have a mission with a few actions to care for the appartement or the animal every day. Or pay a sum of money. It could be a way to try to care for a pet before adopting. Or see differents kind of appartements.

[gilded gulch]

I think a commemorative medal or keepsake that shows they were on the launch team would be nice, with their name on it and an image from the game (maybe a Zoi that looks like them?)

Something they can display on their desk to remember they were part of the hardworking launch team when the game's a huge success

I also bet if you asked you'd get plenty of fans sending in a short video to say thank you for their hardwork and share how excited they are for the game, you'd need to stitch it together and translate the non-Korean messages though so that might be too much work when y'all are focused on building the game

[fickle laurel]

I haven't heard much talk about pets yet, I hope there are and that the Zois can feed, care for, and walk them on the street. It would be one of my routines, taking care of my pet, being able to go out.

[gray yarrow]

He literally explained in the first post of this thread that pet care and everything pet-related will be included after early access

[loud vault]

what- I suggested that convenience stores should be in gas stations and he mentioned that! means he read it 😭

[earnest hornet]

Since supernatural beings in InZoi became a topic with ghosts, I would like the future magic theme DLC to a Wuxia System DLC.

My wish, to be more precise, is for the Wuxia System DLC to be preceded by a DLC inspired from ancient China. That way players who don't want magic to be in their game would still have the architecture, clothes, weapons, hairs and others things.

Ideally the Wuxia System DLC would be followed by a Xiianxia System DLC or a Xiianxia System mod (If the team can't create it because it's too much work).

Here's a list of the reasons why a Wuxia System could be a great addition:

• Deeper Character Development :
  A Wuxia system allows for a new dimension of character progression beyond skills and careers. Zois could develop physical and mental discipline, learn martial arts styles, and strive for mastery, adding layers of depth to their personalities and backstories. This ties in nicely with the "smart Zoi" concept, as they could realistically learn and adapt to different martial arts philosophies.

• Unique Storytelling Opportunities:
  The Wuxia system opens up exciting narrative possibilities. Zois seeking enlightenment, facing rivals, upholding honor, or even uncovering ancient secrets tied to martial arts lineages. This can create interesting quests, storylines, and social interactions.

• Increased Player Agency :
  We can choose to focus on martial prowess, balance it with other paths, or even reject it entirely. This choice-driven gameplay enhances replayability and player engagement.

• Social Dynamics:
  Martial arts schools, tournaments, and rivalries can create dynamic social hubs within the game. Zois can form alliances, build reputations, and engage in meaningful social interactions beyond existing systems.

• Contemporary Adaptation:
  The key is to ground the Wuxia system in a realistic contemporary context. Martial arts studios, MMA-style competitions, and fitness regimens can be the modern equivalents of traditional training. This approach respects the game's realism while still capturing the essence of Wuxia.

• Subtle Progression:
  The initial Wuxia system can be more grounded, focusing on physical skills, discipline, and perhaps the very early stages of qi cultivation (internal energy). This avoids introducing fantastical elements too abruptly. We can think of it as the realistic foundation upon which the more fantastical Xianxia elements can later be built (or modded).

• Ancient China DLC as a Bridge:
  The Ancient China DLC serves as the perfect bridge. It provides the historical and cultural context for Wuxia without immediately introducing overt magic. Players can explore traditional settings, clothing, and philosophies, which enrich the Wuxia experience when it arrives.

Long-Term Vision and Modding Support:

• The phased approach: (Ancient China -> Wuxia -> Xianxia) allows players to gradually acclimate to the increasing levels of fantasy. This prevents overwhelming those who prefer a more grounded experience.

• Modding Foundation:
  Even if the developers can't create a full Xianxia DLC, laying the groundwork for modders is essential. Providing tools and documentation for creating new martial arts styles, techniques, and even magical abilities would empower the community to expand the game in exciting ways. This ensures the longevity of the game and caters to diverse player preferences.

• Catering to Different Player Bases:
  This approach allows the game to cater to both realism fans and fantasy enthusiasts.

In summary: Integrating a Wuxia system, especially with a phased approach, offers a unique blend of character development, narrative possibilities, and social dynamics while respecting InZoi's core realism. It also strategically sets the stage for future content, whether official or community-created, that can cater to a wider range of players.

[earnest hornet]

Has anyone thought about mixing multiplayer, langages and travel ?

Example :

Each player's game would be considered a territory by the Zois, in another region or another country.

Players would have several options to authorize access to their territory by other players, like the game Genshin Impact: free access, access by invitation or prohibited access. (In the latter case, the players or the Zois would have no "knowledge" of the existence of the territory)

Players could request permission to visit other players' territory or move there freely depending on access level. And these visits would be considered trips by the Zois.

And to change territory and go to another player's territory, the Zois would need to go through an airport, train station or port. With boarding procedures and waiting times included.

In this case, the need for Zois to learn a new langage, if the territory is in another country, would make sense.

Should I create a new topic to expand more on the idea ?

[cunning iron]

I was walking my dog and I realize why not to give zois some parks with spaces to let free their pets cats , dogs , rabbits with their own spaces to play and toys wouldn't that be stunning?

[minor lily]

i hope they get us gas station cause i belive that is only way i will be able to afford it

[red eagle]

Tattoos!!!

[minor lily]

I really wanna difficutly levels .. i like playing it for long time and i would not mind if it would be hard to get Rich by any means

[ebon stirrup]

Will it always be set to 30 max floor limit or can we have like a toggle on and off feature for infinite floors. I know 30 floors is a lot but I would really appreciate this suggestion being added to make the playing experience more limitless and unique

[rapid vector]

could put gyms, with martial arts classes, for example: boxing, judo, jiu jitsu, wrestling etc. this improves the fight with others, and add a martial arts tournament system. it would be cool

[cunning iron]

He said that giving 30 floor IS the Max they could reach

[earnest hornet]

Would go with an ancient China DLC

[rapid vector]

?

[earnest hornet]

#1222998106849804330 message
With my idea of Wuxia DLC centered on martial arts. If you go higher in the topic, you'll find more.
In a concise way, it's :
Ancient China DLC, then Wuxia DLC (martial arts), then Xianxia DLC (cultivators).
There's a separation between Ancient China and Wuxia for players who don't want anything magical in their game. They should be allowed to have their fun.

[rapid vector]

cool idea. I'll look into it

[paper wigeon]

I wish the developers would add motorbikes to the game so we could use them as transportation for food delivery jobs. It would be another good reason to use the gas station!

[golden relic]

I honestly want the pets to look more like the game then gta 5 and for multiple realistic breeds. If not only that I would love costume or if possible to scan your dog or cat in game. Different fur shapes and patch like in sims 3 while have the pups actually look like a mix between mom and dad with amazing genetics.

[autumn hare]

i would love to see all you put down but would realy like Facial Capture to Create a Face Template , that would be amazing 🙂 keep up the great work 🙂

[ivory stump]

if you want to implement multiplayer i think you should look at how HABBO has done it, i think that way would be fun and "light" on the servers

[wide hawk]

I've cracked a technical solution to your simulation speed bottleneck that could transform inZoi's performance without sacrificing your Smart Zoi depth. After analyzing how complex simulations could handle your 300+ Zois, I've identified an innovative approach that could dramatically accelerate time dilation while preserving AI authenticity. The method leverages existing systems in a way I haven't seen discussed yet. Want to break through the current time processing bottleneck?? 👀 🫣 :Technical Nerd:

[wide hawk]

I’ve just cracked aother technical breakthrough that could revolutionize how the AI simulation in inZOI works! After digging into early playtester feedback, I’ve pinpointed exactly what’s needed to take immersion and realism to the next level! Imagine characters that don’t just act, they evolve, adapt, and respond in ways so lifelike it’ll blur the line between simulation and reality. I can’t reveal too much yet, but this change is going to be thrilling, dynamic, and completely game changing! Get Ready!!

[fervent axle]

The actions with the baby and child are missing a lot as well as the objects specific to this age category, I find it important to say that it is indeed very important for a life simulation game

[olive finch]

This is both a wishlist and a question. I do not know if this is feature that is already in the game when Early access hits. I was wondering if its gonna be possible to form a band, I've seen that being a pop star is something you can do but what I'd love for my personal taste is to be able to form a Metal band and to become a rockstar. Going through the emotions of building a garage so you and the band can play and practice, then moving on into a music studio once your band grows and so on and maybe some Metal music to go into the game to match. I'd love to see this.

[earnest hornet]

Using a knowledge system with theoritical knowledge and practical knowledge with categories for daily life, hobbies, work, or at least allowing the possibility. Not a skill system. Would give more purpose to various way of learning.

[median lava]

I have watch InZOI Gameplay The First 21 Minutes video. And I know something important is missing it still lack of wind effect on ambient objects (including tree, plants, umbrella, hair, cloth, fabric or other moving items) in the game, this would improve the game to be more lively (eg: windy day at the beach or different at night).

[fervent axle]

A lot of important things are missing in the games such as aging which is much too fast especially in babies and children the objects for babies are only decoration there is no interaction it is really a shame.
This is the most important thing for me when we talk about realistic gameplay

[magic timber]

Awesome update! @lethal fablen I would love to see EV charging stations and EV’s rather than old fashioned gas stations and petrol powered cars. Isn’t this a futuristic game after all! Also I want to be able to upload a face photo and make my Zoi look like it, besides my own face captures. Besides that, the ability to change each world’s name to my liking would be amazing.

[fleet harness]

I agree! I hope they make babies more active and have more interactions with them. Also, I really would like an option to turn off aging in the settings or something. As I personally love being in control of my inzois loves 100% and when they age up or die. Also, I become attached to families i make and just want to keep them for good.

Also, building. Can we have curved walls and floors easier to put down? Also, more roofing options like an octagon roof? I am a Victorian home builder. So I would LOVE stained glass windows or an option to add atain glass to windows and more gable decorations. Also, slimmer windows to go on the side of octagon walls, if that makes sense.

[dawn radish]

And Kjun honestly The Case for Expanded Life Stages and Gradual Aging in Inzois

If Inzois does not implement detailed life stages and gradual aging, players will have to depend on third-party mods, leading to fragmented experiences, mod conflicts, and potential instability. While avoiding official complexity might seem beneficial, it ultimately shifts the burden onto the community rather than eliminating it.

Generational depth is crucial for immersive storytelling, allowing players to track ancestry and descendants organically. Without finer life stages, differentiating between great-grandparents, great-grandchildren, and extended lineage becomes difficult. Games like The Sims 4 are already exploring gradual aging, highlighting the demand for such mechanics.

Opponents argue that adding life stages creates unnecessary bloat, but the alternative—relying on unofficial content—creates inconsistency and technical issues. A structured aging system would provide stability, official oversight, and better integration. Additionally, generational tracking reflects real-world sociological patterns, ensuring historical accuracy and deeper family dynamics.

Ultimately, integrating these systems officially in Inzois would enhance player experience, prevent mod dependency, and solidify the game’s position in the life simulation genre. Avoiding this development does not reduce complexity; it merely offloads it to the modding community, leading to a less cohesive gameplay experience.

[vernal gull]

More Language. Czech, Slovakia, Romanian, Croatian,… 🙂

[opal lake]

will the game be on GFORCE NOW on the 28th?

[dawn radish]

@fleet harness @fervent axle And incorporation of ultra-detailed aging mechanics—including precise wrinkle gradations as per the Glogau Scale—establishes a narrative where every aging nuance is quantified with clinical precision. Forehead lines evolve from subtle etchings to pronounced, furrowed ridges; worry, bunny, and crow’s feet shift from faint impressions to elaborate, fan-like creases; while laugh, lip, and marionette lines become sharply delineated over time. Hair loss and graying follow strict metrics—male pattern baldness adheres to the Norwood-Hamilton scale, female thinning to the Ludwig system, and pigment depletion is meticulously scored. This precision extends to the body: breast sagging is rated by the Breast Ptosis Grading Scale, décolletage wrinkles by the Fabi-Bolton scale, abdominal laxity through the Abdominal Panniculus system, and hand aging via the Merz Hand Grading Scale and Hand-Foot Skin Reaction grading.

Interwoven is an exploration of diverse aging paradigms: • Immortality Without Decelerated Aging or Eternal Youth: Normal aging with deepening wrinkles and increasing sag. • Immortality with Decelerated Internal Aging but Normal External Aging: Robust internal organs contrast with typical external aging. • Immortality with Eternal Youth Internally but Slowed External Aging: Youthful inner systems with a gradual external aging process. • Immortality with Eternal Youth Internally but No Slowed External Aging: Internal vitality coexists with natural external aging. • Longevity Extension to Immortality with Decelerated Internal and External Aging: Both internal functions and external features age more slowly. • Longevity Extension to Immortality with Eternal Youth Internally and Externally: A rare state where both inner systems and outward appearances defy the usual aging trajectory.

[dawn radish]

This synthesis, integrating collagen depletion, elastin loss, hormonal shifts, and environmental impacts, redefines aging as a multidimensional, intricately quantified process.

[dawn radish]

@fleet harness@fervent axle I had Chat GPT generate this and Image for me: Face & Skin:

A mix of deep wrinkles, sagging, and crow’s feet alongside patches of smooth, resilient skin.

Aged yet dignified and elegant, showing a balance between the passage of time and retained vitality.

✅ Hair:

Thick, full strands with significant whitening (instead of just graying).

Noticeable thinning, receding, and balding patches while still maintaining a graceful style.

✅ Chest & Abdomen:

A combination of firm, resilient areas with creases, sagging, and a crepe-like breakdown in the skin.

Aging signs will be prominent but still harmoniously blended with elegance and sophistication.

✅ Outfit (Safe-for-Work Upper-Range Evening Dress):

A very revealing yet still tasteful and elegant gown designed for a mature, dignified look.

Fabric: Possibly silk, satin, or flowing material to enhance her presence.

Exposure: The dress will emphasize shoulders, neckline, and legs tastefully, ensuring modesty within boldness.

✅ Hands, Nails, & Feet:

Hands will show a mix of strength and delicate aging, with some translucency and visible wear.

Nails and feet will be a balance of health with slight brittleness, marking longevity.

✅ Expression & Atmosphere:

Wise, confident, and subtly powerful, as if she has seen centuries unfold.

A presence that commands respect while exuding warmth and timeless beauty.

✅ Background & Lighting:

A cinematic, softly-lit setting that complements her grandeur.

Possibly an elegant indoor scene or a dramatic, moody portrait setup.

[dawn radish]

And Additionally these images also.

[dull sequoia]

Kjun, in demo version we are only able to save whole outfit presets. I believe it would be much more convenient for everyone if we could separately save shirts, bottoms etc. i really, REALLY hope you'll see this and take it into consideration. 🩵🩵🩵

[kindred kindle]

I wanted to have more things for babies (crib and walker) and also I saw a few clothes for girls that look like boy clothes, where are the dresses and that stuff? Will they be available on the Early Acess?

[hasty scaffold]

Would be great if there was a way to stop the aging and you can just play with one character as long as you like without them dying

[dawn radish]

@hasty scaffold Ok first you do have at least Sims 3 and Sims 4 that provides that plus second Immortality or at least longevity extension which sounds like is the sort of thing that you are asking for doesn't necessarily promise eternal youth and doesn't necessarily promise decelerated aging there is a whole tv trope on that topic/warning: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AgeWithoutYouth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tithonus

[dawn radish]

Chat GPT AI rewritten version: "Ok, first of all, you do have at least The Sims 3 and The Sims 4, which offer features like immortality or at least longevity extensions. However, these don't necessarily guarantee eternal youth or slowed aging. There's even a whole TV trope around that concept, often used as a cautionary tale." https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AgeWithoutYouth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tithonus

[hasty scaffold]

what are you talking about XD all id like is a character i can play normally without them dying after a while. Yes i have sims 4 and i disable the aging because i like to level up everything/or almost everything for a character without having to start at zero again. I didnt mean my comment like i want some higher power or something

[dawn radish]

I was talkin in terms of what I am assuming is your desires for game play which I was assuming to be your mirroring desires for some day in real life in the future. Due to your wording: you can just play with one character as long as you like without them dying(wording of Immortality) rather than what others who made similar requests but for clairified wording reasoning for the purpose of multigeneration story telling to pause aging related passage of time until they are ready for it to resume for their story telling aspect of gameplay.

Chat GPT AI edit rewritten version: "I was talking in terms of what I assumed to be your desires for gameplay, which I thought mirrored your potential desires for real-life scenarios in the future. Based on your wording, 'you can just play with one character as long as you like without them dying' (referring to immortality), it seemed different from others who made similar requests. They wanted clarified wording to pause aging and the passage of time, not time itself, so they could resume it when they were ready for multigenerational storytelling in their gameplay."

[hasty scaffold]

you're interpretating way too much into this and no i dont want to stop aging irl if thats what you mean💀

[dawn radish]

@hasty scaffold Ok thanks for the clairification. And I personally think that Sims 3's Elixir's of Immortality and therefore any potential possible versions that Inzoi might end up with should consider the TV trope that immortality or at least longevity extensions don't necessarily guarantee eternal youth or slowed aging.

And so such elixirs even longevity extension treatments should incorporate that longevity extension to immortality means more of a spectrum of 1) Normal Aging Immortality: Both internal systems and external features (wrinkles, sagging) continue to age in typical 20–30-year individual generations. 2) Decelerated Internal Aging / Normal External Aging longevity extension to immortality: Vital organs and systems stay youthful while the outward appearance ages normally.

3. Eternal Internal Youth / (diverse spectrum of rates in decelerated external appearance aging) Slowed External Aging longevity extension to immortality: Internal functions, bones and muscles remain perpetually young, with external aging decelerating stepwise. 4) Eternal Internal Youth / Normal External Aging longevity extension to immortality: Youthful internal systems, bones, and muscles coexist with normally aging external features. 5) Decelerated Aging (Both Internal(internal systems, bones, and muscles) & External appearance) longevity extension to immortality: ): A uniform slowdown yields an appearance several decades younger than the true age. Complete Arrest of Aging: Both internal and external appearance aging stop. https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Immortality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHWTVIWQfs4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7igXLHJBMgw

Chat GPT AI edit rewritten version: Ok, thanks for the clarification. And I personally think that Sims 3's Elixirs of Immortality, as well as any potential versions that Inzoi might develop, should take into account the TV trope that immortality—or even longevity extensions—does not necessarily ensure eternal youth or slowed aging.

With that in mind, such elixirs or longevity treatments should reflect the idea that extending life toward immortality exists on a spectrum, rather than a singular outcome:

Normal Aging Immortality – While the individual becomes immortal, both internal systems and external features (wrinkles, sagging) continue to age at the typical year by year decade by decade generation by generation rate seen across 20–30-year generational spans.

Decelerated Internal Aging / Normal External Aging – Vital organs and internal systems remain youthful, but the outward appearance continues to age as usual.

Eternal Internal Youth / Slowed External Aging (Variable Rates) – Internal functions, including bones and muscles, retain perpetual youth, while external aging slows down in a stepwise manner, with varying degrees of deceleration.

Eternal Internal Youth / Normal External Aging – Internal systems, bones, and muscles remain young indefinitely, but external features such as skin and hair continue to age at a natural rate.

Decelerated Aging (Both Internal & External) – Aging slows uniformly across both internal and external aspects(Variable Rates).

Complete Arrest of Aging – Both internal systems and external appearance cease aging entirely, resulting in an unchanging, ageless state.

By incorporating this spectrum, longevity treatments could better reflect the nuances of immortality, rather than simply assuming an all-or-nothing approach to longevity extension to all the way immortality.

can someone remove this guy from the chat, he's obviously a bot and is spamming while no one is reading his mile long messages?

[dawn radish]

@dull sequoia That isn't necessarily quite fair shouldn't everyone have the freedom to voice their opinions. As long it is not toxic and attacking of others? Or is it that you don't like appreciate the points that I attempted to make?

[dawn radish]

I have to ask also by that sort of logic couldn't you say similar things about Inzoi and the game designers of Inzoi also. Due to on the Steam store it saying the following: AI GENERATED CONTENT DISCLOSURE
The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Players can generate unique textures for character outfits and various items based on text input. They can also create 3D objects from image input, which can be used as interior decorations or accessories, and add distinctive motions to their Zoi using video input. Additionally, the actions and thoughts of Zois are controlled through sLM technology, enabling more engaging and intuitive interactions.

[olive finch]

This ia question and also a wishlist thing. Since there seems to be at the moment 3 cities with its own theme. Will there be more in the future, I'd love to see a more European/UK themed city added to Inzoi.

[dawn radish]

@olive finch I would love for Inzoi Hamlet: A small cluster of houses, smaller than a village. Too
Village: A small community in a rural area, typically with a higher population density than a hamlet. Too
Small Town: A settlement larger than a village, with more services and facilities. Too
Large Town: A larger settlement than a small town, with a wider range of services and facilities. Too
City: A large and important urban area, with a significant population and a wide range of economic, social, and cultural activities. Too
Conurbation: A large urban area formed by the growth of several cities and towns into one continuous area. Too
Megacity: A very large city, typically with a population of over 10 million people.
Global City: A city that exerts a significant influence on the global economy, culture, and politics.

[dawn radish]

Mixed in with the hierarchy from Hamlets all the way to Global Cities, here is a suggestion for the just released life simulation computer game title, Inzoi—a fresh competitor to Sim Franchise.

Integrated Urban and Governmental Hierarchy for Inzoi
Local (Municipal) Level:

Municipal Capital / City Hall:
The center of local government where the town or city council, mayor’s office, and essential administrative services operate. These are the foundational nodes for public services and community organization.

County or District Seat:
For regions divided into counties or districts, these seats provide additional layers of administration, including local courts and regional services.

Intermediate (Regional/State/Provincial) Level:

State/Provincial Capital:
These capitals serve as the administrative hubs for states or provinces, hosting regional executives, legislatures, and higher-level courts. Even in unitary states with devolved powers, regional capitals in Inzoi wield significant administrative clout.

[dawn radish]

National Level:

National Capital:
The primary seat of central government, where the national legislature, executive (president’s, prime minister’s, or cabinet offices), and supreme judicial bodies reside.

Special Arrangements:
In certain federations, distinct branches of government may be distributed among different cities—mirroring real-world examples like South Africa—where executive, legislative, and judicial powers are decentralized across multiple capitals. Hybrid Dynamics in Gameplay

Dual-Dimensional Strategy:
Inzoi uniquely integrates both settlement evolution and the layered structure of governmental capitals. Players can simultaneously manage the growth of communities from hamlets to global cities while overseeing the complexities of multi-tiered governance—from local municipal capitals to national seats of power.

Economic, Social, and Political Interplay:
Decisions made at one level can have cascading effects on other layers. For example, investments in a local city hall can spur regional growth, while national policy shifts might reshape local economic landscapes. This interconnectivity challenges players to balance resource distribution, infrastructure development, and political reforms.

Dynamic Evolution:
Both urban settlements and governmental institutions evolve over time in Inzoi. Historical developments, cultural trends, and economic shifts are interwoven into gameplay, providing a richly layered simulation that demands strategic foresight and adaptive management.

This integrated hierarchy design offers a comprehensive and dynamic gameplay experience in Inzoi, blending the evolution of settlements—from humble hamlets to influential global cities—with a robust, multi-tiered governmental structure. The result is a nuanced simulation that captures the complexities of urban growth and political power, providing an engaging, multifaceted challenge for players.

I'm super excited about everything being discussed here.

Perhaps my only request would be for BUILD MODE to implement the ability to adjust the length of walls in meters and centimeters to your liking.

I think when I first saw the height of the walls in the game trailer, I was mistaken in thinking that you could also build them by measuring their length so you could create a house using your own house plans to create simulations of possible renovations.

Since the game has the option to create furniture with AI and import things from the real world, it would be great to be able to build a custom house, offering endless possibilities, and it would be fun to see the community's creations.

I don't know if I'm the only person who's thought about this, but I haven't found anyone talking about it, so that's why I'm mentioning it.

[earnest hornet]

Like in architects' simulation game ?

[real gust]

"Architect Life" don't have simulation life like Inzoi and features like AI for furniture creation

[bitter heron]

can we get Custom Music just like in the sims 4 ASAP? also an airpods like so we can listen to music wherever we are.
The audio only playing without our zois reacting to it, just like on the sims 4, options between "Listen to" and "Turn On"
also can we get keybinding remap? or an option to set the camera like in the sims 3 or the sims 4? (I really like to control the cam with middle mouse butten)
im alright with the current WASD control but perhaps you can add this option as an alternative 🙂

[earnest hornet]

I was thinking more about the detail aspect where every centimeter count. I think it should be an option if this level of detail is implemented.

[fading gorge]

not sure if this has already been suggested but to be able to change the babies/toddler's clothing and alter their appearance

[slate chasm]

wow i would love to have piggback rides and shoulder rides in inzoi where they go to a party and there able to sit on shoulders an able to do it with the kids as well where they lift eachother

[slate chasm]

so yeah it would be nice to have those piggyback rides

[minor lily]

I hope to add headshot 2.0

[blazing hornet]

My wish is to have Married couples already have some love ❤️ and knowledge towards each other.

[real gust]

I would be so grateful if they could do something about it, this would offer infinity possibilities to build your dream house

[slate chasm]

heyy can we you add piggyback rides and shoulder rides in this for the adults and kids and vice versa also pool chicken fights ! Thanks so much

[autumn hare]

its probably been asked, b4 but on edit city can we have the options to click on a plot and to clear plot after family as been moved out and then to click on lot and select Build or Edit that will take us to build mode for that plot , it so annoying you cant edit plot b4 you move your Zoi in 🙂 Please Please Please Add this , For Us Builders 🙂

[tidal walrus]

Can we please PLEEEEEASE pretty please have the ability to adjust aging settings? Lengthen lifespans, adjust how many days in each age group, and most importantly the option to TURN AUTO AGE OFF (Im not yelling, im just speaking my passion to you!). And the option to make it so that inactive/non played families don't age or die...I really love this game and you have been so amazing but sadly i have not been able to play since launch after seeing how fast my zoi died, after spending 10 hours making her =(\

[dawn radish]

I want to point out that the faces with Zois' middle age life stage and Zois' elder life stage may have aged face and hair and had pretty good amount of facial and hair external appearance aging details however not so much that of the individual bodies especially that of the individual females. Could definitely use such treatment.

[autumn hare]

Was just playing with the photo studio, and had a great idea, Devs if you read this we need a Inzio Film Studio or a very large plot we can turn into a Tv or Film Studio So we could create machinima as this would be a perfect platform to do it on , add things like Film effects etc Fim Studio Lighting and equipment Film camera's and tools to do Fall Film Production i was playing with the Photo studio and thinking that could be expanded 😉 look 🙂

[blazing hornet]

Hope the Sitting at the Counters with the bar stools along with playing at the Chess Table get fixed soon.

[olive finch]

Biggest wish right now, add a metal radio station onto the radio or give us the ability to add our own music to solve this problem. You have all other types of music but no metal. Would love it thanks 😄

[vital brook]

In Urbz Sims in the city. You had jobs that you interacted with by pressing buttons at the right time. It was really immersive. If we could have like a Model job and one part of the action could be send zois to photoshoot and for 1-2 mins press buttons to pose and get better work eating for performing the best. Like wise when cooking in a restaurant when someone orders we could have 1-2mins pressing buttons to make them flip the food and add spices at the correct time .

[vital brook]

Simple Interactions! Cuddle kiss on sofa. Sit next to In restraunts. Eat With. Call To dinner. Go to bed with.

[vital brook]

Also Walk here with, Also Dance floor placed at parties should get dancers and make sure they have enough space and slow dance option. or just a dance interaction added to speakers that npcs will dance with one another. These thing would add so much more to romance and friendship.

[vital brook]

one other thing i also realised is working in GOLDEN Apple burger. You cant go in and order you can only do work activities. I want to sit at bar with others or i restraunt and drink/eat

[slate chasm]

hi can you add piggbacks and shoulder rides for the sims adults teens and kids can do to one another

[slate chasm]

have the kids lift eachother and also lift the adults teens and vice versa please please can you add that to the update in may

[quiet rock]

@lethal fable Yall Should Add a Feature to Put The Language In English for the Game that would be 🔥🔥
