#A Sneak Peek at Cahaya

Hello, Creators.
Kjun here.

We hope you're enjoying inZOI following the June update. We're aware that there's still plenty of room for improvement, which is why we're working hard to deliver a better experience for our players.
Our team is hard at work preparing the next wave of content for the August update. We're especially excited for this update because it will be introducing a third city to the game.

On that note, we'd like to announce some changes. The third city, formerly announced as Kucingku, has now been changed to Cahaya, a resort-themed destination where players can enjoy some rest and relaxation away from the bustle of city life. The word "Cahaya" means "light", and true to its name, the city offers a variety of vibrant and refreshing experiences across exotic islands that can't be found in previous cities, such as farming, relaxing, boating, and exploring uninhabited islands. We're working hard to make this update truly worth the wait.

Cahaya is a city themed around "rest". While developing inZOI has been a source of great joy for me, there are times when I feel the urge to get away from it all. Inspired by these feelings, I wanted to create a retreat for players exhausted by the motions of everyday life to unwind in.

There is one thing that we were unable to address in this update. We've received a great deal of feedback from players asking for improvements to the job system, but because Cahaya was designed as a resort-themed city, features like jobs and schools didn't quite feel like the right fit. As such, we've made the decision to exclude them from this city entirely. Players instead can enjoy a self-sufficient lifestyle through activities such as farming or fishing. Improvements to the job system will be coming with the next city update.

In response to player feedback, we are also making improvements to make emotional expressions seem more natural, improve the relationship system, and add depth to interactions.

We recently shared these details during a video call with our Partner Creators, who gave us a lot of valuable feedback. If you have any thoughts of your own, please don't hesitate to share them with us. I truly enjoy hearing from the community, and I'm always paying close attention to what our players have to say. Your feedback helps shape the future of inZOI.

In addition, inZOI will be heading to Germany once again to participate in this year's gamescom, where the August update and Cahaya Free DLC will be officially revealed. Until then, we hope you continue to enjoy a wonderful time with inZOI.

We hope this coming summer brings you nothing but joy and lasting memories. As always, thank you again for your continued support.

Thank you.

It's the "ideal" city to have our own shops and a system of neighbours helping each others. Being self sufficient as individuals, but as community too. Like bartering with everything having an invisible price. And you need to attain the same sum on both sides for the bartering to be valid.

Is there any way in that upcoming city update to put in an option to turn off first person camera on the carnival rides in Bliss Bay? My mother in law would like to be able to enjoy the game without experiencing extreme vertigo and motion sickness from the first person camera.

I am positive she is not the only player affected.

Accessibility options like this are a net positive for games as they allow more people to enjoy the game.

I am hoping we can live there? Indonesia is too beautiful to only be for vacation 😭 Maybe there will be a vacation for honey moon option too because I noticed Zoi can talk about honeymoon plans.

I also hope the farming and fishing system is flashed out so its easier to harvest and sell crops. I dont like that currently when we harvest crops the Zoi just place them all over the house. There should be some sort of harvest pantry or food storage that could be stocked seperate from the fridge so we can see how much harvest we have. And I hope we have animals to harvest milk and cheese from 🤣🤣

Wow Cahaya sounds absolutely amazing, I'm really excited, also looking forward to the August update too, you guys are absolutely amazing, keep up the awesome work as always🥰

I dont know how I feel abolout this update. Farming, fishing and boats sounds great but I'm definitely concerned about how in depth these activities will be. In zoi really lacks activities, hobbies and zois personalities. There is not really a lot to do in gameplay. Zois with diffrent attributes and personalities still feel the same. I'm excited for a tropical themed world since I'm a builder ❤️‍🔥! But completely removing schools and jobs from this city doesn't seem logical to me. What about the zois that live there? They just don't go to school? I hope this city is not just a pretty vacation spot with nothing to do. Dowon and Bliss Bay already are beautiful cities with a unique feel to them. Rather than a city with almost no gameplay I would prefer they focus their energy on expanding the zois interaction system and personalities. This has been one of the biggest requests since the beginning.
I'm still super excited for the city but inzoi needs to deliver what it promises! Or else it's just like with the sims. Players will loose their trust. Inzoi has so much potential so I hope this update will deliver what players want. Its still some time till August. Can't wait what they show at gamescom! See you there in August! 💗

This sounds really exciting! I’m curious though, how are zois able to make money for a living in Cahaya?

Thank you for this BTS update and the devs hard works on the game.

@final zinc , you are always asking for feedback and thoughts from players, and are always paying close attention to what our players have to say.

With that said, will you be addressing modders feedback on the mod policy and where it may go in future? Now that the modkit was released and you have an idea with the number of modders posting their works up, it is noticeable how little there is because of the policy.

Modders cannot bring their all because they not allowed to offer a simple, fair early access for support of their works.

Inzoi have categorically said in the AMA All rights and ownership of user-created mods belong to the original modder—not to inZOI.
That given, I think most are just wanting the choice of offering early access for their mods (for like 2-3 weeks) especially those who use professional tools Examples;
Marvelous Designer starts at $39 per month
Maya is $1,785 to $1,945 per yearm ZBrush, Substance and Photoshop are not cheap, either. which can be very costly. Players that can help out will, and the ones that don't that is fine because the mods will be free after a couple of weeks.

Sounds great but PLEASE i beg , add nightlife in this game. There are no bars or clubs and is one of the main reasons why ppl get eventually bored with the gameplay. Left this as feedback ages ago but leaving it here once more . The immersion and gameplay loop gets disruptive bc of not having it. So since yall creating a vacation world of relaxation i do expect bars and hope to see it get implemented to the game, thank you.

# jaunty dragon Thank you for this BTS update and the devs hard works on the game. <@1168780020...

A lot of modders asking for early access do have passion for the game, that's why they are advocating so hard to be heard.
If they didn't and it was only about money, they would just go to other games or second life where financial profit can be made.

**We do recognize the time and effort involved in creating mods, and we are considering ways to support modders through indirect means. The following forms of monetization are currently allowed:

Ad revenue or donation requests on mod distribution platforms,
Revenue from video content (e.g., tutorials or showcases) on platforms like YouTube,
These methods allow modders to receive support for their work while still offering their mods for free, and we encourage such approaches.**

These methods are unlikely to help or support modders at all.

Donation requests:
Asking for donations alone does very little, the reality is that players will rarely donate.
This has been proven the case with many top modders, who offer their content for free in other games.
Even a modder commented on the inzoi subreddit said:
"As a free modder myself that just mods it for fun but accepts tips, I have received a grand total of $7.83.. for around 997,518 downloads."

Youtube etc:
Most modders will rarely have an established YouTube channel that qualifies for earnings.

To earn on YouTube you need to have;
at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 valid public watch hours in the past 12 months, or alternatively, 10 million valid public Shorts views in the past 90 days

This would typically only apply to players who are already established YouTube content creators, not modders.

Well, the city concept sounds nice BUT what is the point of an "vacation world" when you aren't able to visit it for vacation? So Zois either live in vacation forever by starting there or will never have the chance to have one when living in dowon or bliss bay.... Would have made a lot more sense to integrate the visiting / moving between worlds feature FIRST.....ESPECIALLY when Cahaya doesn't offer some basic features like schools and jobs....

#

I mean, farming and fishing is like... ok....... but like, I hate that in real life, why would I make my Zois do it just so I can have them live in a pretty world? Self sufficient lifestyles shouldn't be forced on you just because you chose the world. Doing it because you want to, hell yeah. Because you have to? Eh.
Since it's inspired by resorts, why not integrate jobs that are inspired from people working (breaking their back) at resorts, like maybe more restaurants? (more "chic", less fast food-y?) Or wouldn't it be nice for it to be a world where hotels of some sort are introduced since it's a destination world with some bars, tending the rooms, tending the pools, etc. Having none of these there would be basically like having good ol' destination world like in the Sims (who actually goes to Salvadorada, Granite Falls and Batuu? Except for that time once every two years where you remember they exist and you can send your sims on vacation there but you get frustrated fast because there's nothing to do there). And if you can go there as a vacation world when you usually live in Dowon or Bliss Bay you could choose to go and rent a "self sufficient" villa or house or however it's designed or you could rent a room at the hotel.

(all of this is my personal opinion and feedback of course, we can all disagree :D)

This. And there would be so many jobs that would fit both as active and rabbit hole jobs: Resort Entertainers, Sailing Teachers, Tourist (Boat) Tours, Souvenier Shop Clerks, Diving Workshops, Wellness Guy for massages and stuff, just to give some examples... EDIT: A Wellness Shop could be a really nice addition for both: Active jobs AND gameplay as client, for example your Zoi can just go there and book a massage, face mask, manicure and stuff. maybe even combined with a fitness area as a social hotspot.

By the way: I am not a modder and in general I really like Inzoi but concerning this post I feel it is my duty to add that I feel like there is actually no support for modders on Inzoi's side. If Inzoi would really support revenue options for modders e.g. by donations / video content and stuff they would at least have to offer more visibility and UI tools for such stuff, e.g. the integration of Donation Buttons, direct links to modders social media and plattforms like patreon or even options to directly make a donation out of the ingame mod UI.

It is a fact that the chance of people to donate is also lowered or raised depending on how easy it is to do so or how many clicks and redirects you need. If there aren't even direct links and potential "customers" have to -manually- copy paste URLS, tab out of the game and switch to browsers before being able to give any support....that has nothing to do with support on Inzois part. Just my point of view and I don't even make mods myself.

So comments like this

just feel like empty words. Sorry.

Yeah Cahaya sounds like a lovely spot, but resort jobs should’ve definitely been a thing. Like is this going to be a city we can travel too? This would make a lot of sense if we can actually plan a vacation and see it through. I feel like yall can really expand on the jobs a lot more. I love this game and I stream it everyday and I haven’t gotten bored. I do struggle with the jobs though so Ive been “making my own. “ For example, I role play as CPS, caregiver, and a repairman. I add story and depth where the game is lacking. I definitely think yall should reconsider adding jobs here, inzoi needs something to grasp the attention of those who don’t want to play pretend to enjoy the game. Some people need things clear cut.

I think this is a mistake to have a resort location and not have any jobs or schools, missed opportunity to add some hotel service jobs or restaurant jobs etc. I was hoping to make a cute family living in a nice farm town but its confusing, can we just live there? Or only visit? If we can live there then I guess id have to make a family thats retired and no kids, since having kids would just not make sense since they cant go to school. Mixed feelings about it but either way excited. Thats my feedback

I'm so excited about this news!!! BUT will there be any chance that we will be able to move our Zois around worlds without starting a new save file?

# normal crystal By the way: I am not a modder and in general I really like Inzoi but concerning ...

Wholeheartedly agree, this would show a bit more support and appreciation for modders in general.
A lot of people that are against early access mods don't realise it isn't about profit.
It is about breaking even because of the costs involved in making mods.
Perma paywalls should never be allowed, because it takes advantage of the players and destroys gaming communities. But reasonable early access seems fair. It just needs to be controlled, unlike how EA ignore their situation of rule breaking modders and "creators".

There doesn't seem to be many mods at the moment, but I am curious if any donations have been made to support the creators that have posted their works up so far?

Additionally, a lot of people who say early access is not normal for mods. But many games do just that (and even worse, some perma paywall, which modders are not asking for: just early access)
FiveM (GTA) being one of the worst, $50 to $100 often a lot more like $200 for servers: https://fivemx.com/product-category/fivem-mlos/nightclub-mlos/

You NEED to add the ability to travel and move freely between worlds because that is what they are at this point they can’t really even be called "cities" when we can’t freely move or travel between them. Plus even in resort towns there are schools and jobs albeit small ones but there’s also the digital nomads…is it just going to be a bunch of uneducated people in the island? It really kills the experiential immersion.

@normal crystal Yes this ^^^ unless Krafton is going to offer to pay them then that’s a different story but the reality is modders make the community better in so many ways and they spend A LOT of time making, testing and updating their mods modders should be allowed to have SOME FORM of compensation especially seeing as krafton seems to be expecting that modders will come out with thousands of amazing new layers and systems to fix this very soulless game, not to mention the devs get to claim all rights to their hard work while allowing them ZERO compensation, that’s exploitation plane and simple, and the devs KNOW that the modders would come in and completely change the game the way they did with sims but EA allows early access AND also hired a lot of the modding community to also work on the game alongside them. It would be nice if you guys could give the modders that opportunity, they will do so much for the community IF they don’t feel like they are being used because that’s really what’s happening right now. And it’s not right. It’s not fair. We know it. You and the devs know it, but you haven’t said a word about this since you posted that.

Wow. Stop insulting the developers work and work ethic it is so disgusting. Saying they want to use modders to fix their game when they have realeased 3 hot fixes in the last 48 hours, are you kidding? I'm so sick of you entitled life simulation modders. Paying for mods is not a common thing, other communities with much bigger successful games like Cyberpunk, Baldurs Gate, GTA 6, Skyrim.. the list goes on do not compensate modders and not all mods are paid walled, you can get a lot for free with the option to donate. If you really want to make money from your mods and believe in your craft set up a Patreon like some respectful and talented modders do instead of trying become an employee of a development studio, and put 50 dollar price tags on mods to enable quadruplet pregnancies or something unnessicary. Mods have always been optional and not nessecary for game play so stop saying modders are going to fix the game they are not. And this game is in early access, the dev team is going to be fixing and adding their own core gameplay and features that don't need modding. the mod kit is there as a support for people who do want to mod. Wow you guys are ridiculous, way to punish the Inzoi devs for providing a feature to support modders and player creativity and dare to basically call them lazy? I bet they regret it now. Get the heck out of here with this insulting nonsense 🤣🤣🤣

Did you not read the post or the roadmap? You can travel between either Dowon or Bliss Bay and Cahaya when it releases. Also moving cities is coming in December. Please stop spouting misinformation.

As for schools ans jobs, the jobs will be freelance careers like farming and selling your stuff at a local market. School could even be just taking classes online. We dont know yet because the update hasn't been released. 🙄

It would be amazing if we could take a vacation there! Zois often mention planning a family trip or discussing honeymoon locations. Please 🙏

Would be cool if the making money outside a job style thing could be applied to other things like music. The pop star job could represent a mainstream artist and doing it yourself would represent the indie artist life.

To be honest, now that I think about it, I think it would be cool to have jobs integrated into this world too. Imagine moving there, opening a hotel or a restaurant, and living off tourism… you know, like those people who move to the Caribbean and enjoy a summer lifestyle but still have jobs, kids, and all that stuff.
This way you can still have that vacay vibes going on but with the chance of buolding a life there☺️🌴

It does not sound like a place that we will be able to build. It sounds like Battu just a vacation spot. But if there are zoi living there and raising families then I am wondering that as well. I love island living to a fair degree but if I am living there and raising a family I would not want my kids to have no education other than farming and island life. I also wonder if this means we will be able to visit other cities or is this just to got to that one? Or does this city require you to make a new zoi for just this world. I do miss the ability to move from place to place but I also love being able to go anywhere within my city without having to actually travel. I am guessing if I were driving my car then I would have to travel but I can literally walk anywhere , just not go into many places . I do love the sound of the place and what is offered and look forward to seeing what they have done.

@final zinc
Thank you for you sincere interest in players' thoughts. I really can't tell if taking away the "ability" to work or to go to school is a good idea or not. What I know is choosing extreme solutions rarely give good results and you end up with lot of 🚫 ends. That's basically going against your own philosophy.
My suggestion is more on the soft side. Like allowing Zois to choose the hour and days they go to work and the relationships with the "boss" and the colleagues being less hierarchical and strict, like the Zoi employee having the right to give ideas about the way things go at their work, like decorations, publicity for what they sell or do, new meals for restaurants, and seeing those things being implemented afterward. It would give players more motivation to care about little change they observe at their work place. Zois living in Cahaya might also be more helpful on the daily basis and the kind to visit you while you work to have a nice chat as it would be a closer-knit community. Having the ability to chat and work at the same time would make sens too.
Parties between friends or others being more cosy. This kind of ambiance.
I remember a documentary of a community in Spain that had somekind of bartering system around helping each others. You get points when you help someone (cooking, lessons, childcare while the parents go out, etc.) and you use those points to get some help you need (learning to drive, coaching, gardening, etc.). I found it interesting and nice to even know it exists.

Will there be a system to visit or permanently move to other cities sometime in the game's future? 🤔

This is an absolutely amazing gameplay idea 😍 I’m full of inspiration.
It means a lot to us as players to see how much heart and attention you put into shaping this world.

INSPIRATIONS:

Vacation Atmosphere & Daily Life:

  • The goal is to capture the vacation vibe — packing your bags, stepping into a whole new world.
  • A place where you feel the seaside life: warm sun on the skin, breeze in the hair, joyful laughter from the beach.
  • People would be sunbathing, kids running through the sand, building sandcastles, walking with ice cream in their hands.

Danger & Exploration – Nighttime Adventure:

  • Some remote parts of the island could be dangerous at night, populated by wild, exotic animals.
  • ZOIs could learn skills like “Animal Empathy” or “Animal Taming”, allowing them to navigate the island safely — like native inhabitants, who are not attacked by the wildlife.
  • These locals could wear natural clothing inspired by tropical materials, giving the region a distinct cultural identity.

Culture, Settlement & Realism:

  • A formal school system wouldn’t exist on the island, which makes sense given it’s a region of native communities and tourists.
  • Tourists would naturally be the educated ones — the locals would represent traditional or indigenous lifestyles.
  • ZOIs could gain visas to settle on the island — for example, by marrying a local and starting a family.
  • Improved washing animations with more interaction, like drying clothes in the tropical sun on Cahaya Island, would enhance the island’s immersive vibe.

Morning Routine – Economy & Collectibles:

  • In the early morning, the sea could wash up unique shells onto the shore.
  • Vendors could collect these and sell them as souvenirs — or ZOIs could gather them for freelance work or to build personal collections.
  • Each island or islet could feature its own type of special shells, encouraging exploration and discovery of new areas and their communities.
final walrus
#

Sunset & Evening Ambience – Music, Dance, and Social Life:
At sunset, live music would begin on the beach — for example, rhythmic drumming on traditional drums.
The music should be island-style, distinct from typical city background tracks — to give the vacation town a unique identity.
ZOIs could dance social dances together on the beach. (slow dance, bachata,...)
Others might relax nearby — on terraces lit by candlelight, with soft white curtains gently blowing in the breeze, enhancing immersive mood.
As evening deepens, the town square would fill with tourists, and palm trees and grass would glow with colorful lights (just like the glowing red, green, and yellow lights seen in places like Croatia).
A business on a houseboat-like vessel, with featuring light effects where zois can dance.
It’s important that venues remain open and filled with ZOIs even during late-night hours, for the vacation world to feel truly alive.
New music tracks should be added- to match the tropical atmosphere.

Creative Disclaimer & Cultural Respect:
These ideas are shared from my personal perspective as a European player.
I fully respect that Kahaya should reflect its own authentic culture — so feel free to reinterpret any of these inspirations to better fit the island’s vision and identity. 🌺

I'm not much on the civilised tourists and uncivilised autochtones, but I'm all in for most of the other points. School could be one or two classes with all students together like in communities which have few children :
Nursery and primary school on Cahaya, because they're too young to go by themselves to another city.
Junior and high school on Cahaya or to another city by boat or bus.

Unless the Zois born on Cahaya are unable to have children, schooling will be necessary, if only because they'll get older and be adults one day.
If they stayed young forever, Cahaya would become Peter Pan's island. That's a nope to the realism philosophy of the game. And really, Peter Pan in the true story is like the opposite of the Disney movie. On the other extreme, an city without any children on their side would be also disturbing. What's more an city with only adults will quickly give an all other kind of meaning to holidays. That's really not the spirit here.

#

Please have children/families around the worlds. It isn't realistic to me having cities of just adults walking around.

I am okay with Cahaya not having schools as long as kids have access to online/Home schooling. I think that's a good compromise.

Also, I saw a beach dj and a beach bar mentioned in the sites section of the modkit. Are we gonna get nightclubs, bars, and maybe even alcohol with Cahaya?

#

I REALLY hope we have to pay for plane tickets to travel to Cahaya, kinda like the Sims 2 had to travel to its vacation worlds. Oh and if we could buy economy, business, or first class tickets that affected how our zoi felt when they arrived in Cahay, that would be even better.

yeah sorry I know that sounds sus lol I SWEAR I'M NOT, I also have a background in Cybersecurity lol. I'm like that weird phishing email... Kidding! I am just a creative invention precise perfection presenter and I like to tell stories my way because its like we are going on an adventure!

Cahaya has its own daily life. When we visit as tourists, we can see how the Zois who live there act differently. I think this fits the relaxing resort style and the simple way of life in the city. The local Zois add even more charm to Cahaya. You can see them taking care of community gardens, creating handmade goods, hosting cultural events on the beach, and bringing the city to life with small markets. All these details give Cahaya its own soul — calm, connected, and full of character.

You can:

Wake up early to see the sunrise over the sea.

Eat breakfast with fresh fruits from your own garden.

Go for a swim in a natural pool or in the sea.

Fish on the beach or take a boat to catch fish.

Pick fruits, herbs, and other things from nature to cook.

Walk on trails that lead to empty islands and caves. These caves are great places to explore and to stay safe if it rains.

While exploring, you can collect shells, take photos, and write in a journal. This makes your story in Cahaya more special.

At the end of the day, relax in a hammock or sit by a fire on the beach with friends and enjoy the sunset.

I would like to see more transportation options traveling by water in speed boats to visit other islands.
Buying a yacht where you can also host a party on or use it to go fishing. But make these boats have direct control like youd see in Assassin's Creed.

Id like to see swimming, surfing, water skiing, and diving under water in direct control mode, not a 30 sec animation.

Id like to see rainforests be a part of the landscape different ecosystems and terrains within a world gives a variety of it not always being a city or metropolitan area is the only way a world can be fun.

Being able to have our zoi learn a new world language skill to communicate with locals.

Hiking and scenic trails tourists can take and it also be a way to explore photography skills.

Having island based music play or bands locally play. Id like to have night clubs for dancing be a part of the world.

Having more hotels

if you added a sort of rustic kinda motel it could fit the vibe of this city so well!! and it would be so nice especially if someone wants to do a rags to riches sort of life

If the locals of cahaya have a different accent when they speak that would be cool as well

  • It'd be nice to learn about the island's culture, I'm not talking about lore but like traditions unique to the island living and holidays they'd have to celebrate that can take place certain times of the year on the island our characters can participate in. So you'd have to get to know the locals to learn about this or go to the library to learn more.

  • Being able to buy vacation homes but also the option to stay in hotels as long as you can afford it. It would be nice to also to have some economic challenges possible like say you can't afford to stay in one of the more upscale hotels after x days, you'd have to find another hotel to stay at, but NOT finding one in time wouldn't make you go home automatically. You just might have to sleep on the streets or your car or at the beach, or if you make friends with a local you can ask to stay at their place if the relationship is high enough.

  • More interactions with nature: cliff diving into the waters, going swimming at any time in the waters, being able to lay down with others and stargaze while talking, fruit trees in public we can pick from,

  • Crafting systems: different items and jewerly, and clothing specific to the region

  • Car rental or motorbike rentals if you don't want to buy one

  • Sending post cards,gifts, or photos back home to friends and these items can be placed on the wall as a decor item. If we are playing a regular world like Dowon we can still receive these items if a family member or friend is on vacation so it's not a locked feature.

Also another thing I think would be cool is if our character is pregnant they can give birth in other countries and it's not locked to the 'home' world. So there could be a new fun fact added to character's biographies such as 'was born in Cahaya' but lives in Bliss Bay.
And if in-game foreign language skills are added they can tell others or be asked if they know other languages.

New types of tasks and jobs in Cahaya

I think it would be great to have a variety of casual and temporary activities that fit the relaxed, resort vibe of Cahaya. For example, players could become tour guides around the islands, play music on the beach for visitors, sell handmade crafts, or teach water sports like kayaking or paddleboarding. These types of informal jobs would add life and interaction without the pressure of traditional careers.

Besides that, quick missions could be included, like taking care of community gardens, helping organize seasonal festivals, or joining beach clean-up groups. These tasks keep players engaged while emphasizing the city’s focus on sustainability and community spirit.

To make the gameplay more immersive and active, I’d love to see things like fishing, surfing, group yoga sessions, cooking local dishes with friends, exploring nature to gather ingredients, or even taking scenic photos around Cahaya. These activities encourage players to relax and enjoy the island life while still having goals and challenges.

One idea I really like is adding hiking trails across the islands for players to explore. This would let characters connect deeply with nature, find hidden spots, discover native plants and animals, and collect rare items along the way. Trails could vary in difficulty—from easy walks with beautiful viewpoints to tougher paths featuring waterfalls and rest areas. Related activities like picnics, birdwatching, and photography could also be part of these nature excursions. It would make the world feel more alive and offer relaxing, immersive gameplay.

Reputation and community system

A reputation system would fit perfectly in Cahaya’s social environment. Characters’ reputations could change based on their participation in local parties, festivals, and community events. This would affect friendships, unlock new mission opportunities, and grant special gifts or rewards.

Also, characters could gain local fame by helping residents and tourists, encouraging positive social behavior. Being kind and helpful could bring unique rewards and status within the city, giving characters more reasons to engage with the community.

Personalization and space development

I’d love to be able to expand and customize personal spaces like houses, kiosks, boats, or community areas. Decorating with items earned or crafted in-game would let characters express themselves and create cozy retreats.

Additionally, managing small businesses like beach bars, food trucks, souvenir shops, massage stands, or equipment rentals would add meaningful gameplay. These could include real-time challenges, customer interactions, and seasonal demands, providing a simple but rewarding economic system fitting Cahaya’s resort lifestyle.

New social and community activities

Imagine joining bonfires on the beach at night, lively parties, sports tournaments, picnics, and group hikes — all with active participation.

Cooperative activities such as treasure hunts and environmental clean-up events could encourage teamwork and collective achievement.

For relaxation, wellness options like guided meditation, outdoor baths, and craft workshops would suit Cahaya’s peaceful vibe and offer beneficial effects for characters.

Random events and seasonal system

I’d want weather and seasons to have a real impact on gameplay. Events like flower blooms, tropical storms, and seasonal festivals would add variety and immersion.

Special visitors such as chefs, environmentalists, and musicians could arrive occasionally, bringing unique missions and exclusive rewards, enriching the experience furthe.

Variety of vehicles in Cahaya

It would be great to have a variety of vehicles in Cahaya that fit its resort and island vibe. For example, local cars could include small eco-friendly vehicles, golf carts, tuk-tuks, and open-air island shuttles. Additionally, having rugged vehicles like jeeps would be awesome for exploring rougher terrain, such as hiking trails or off-road area

Tourist vehicles might also include rental bikes or scooters, offering fun and con

Including these different types of cars and transport options would add realism and variety to gameplay, making traveling around Cahaya more enjoyable and immersive. It could also open up new gameplay opportunities, like vehicle rentals, tours, or small delivery jobs using these vehicles.

🌊 Feedback: Water Physics & Ocean Comfort (and thalassophobia)

Hi team! I love inZOI, but I have a personal concern. I have thalassophobia (fear of deep water), and in some teasers, boats seem to glide on the ocean without much water reaction — no splashes or waves. It looks flat and unnatural, which can feel eerie or uncomfortable.

I'd love if boats made visible splashes or left a wake. Also, seeing something under the surface — even just sand or rocks — would help avoid the feeling of an empty void.

Please consider adding these small water details to make the ocean feel more alive and less scary for sensitive players. 💙

Please, please, please add nightlife and adult bars, pubs, etc!! I feel like if this place was geared for like family trips, vacays with friends, honeymoon trips, yk as well as the little tropical living, that would be great
