InZOI Director Confirms Community-Wished Features

This week, the developers of InZOI are taking a well-deserved break to celebrate the New Year, enjoying a three-day holiday in South Korea. Before stepping away, project lead Hyungjun "Kjun" Kim shared exciting updates on the much-anticipated features that fans have been eagerly requesting for the game. These updates shed light on what players can look forward to and to what extent these features will be implemented.

In InZOI, players will have the unique ability to use real facial capture technology to create templates for crafting zois. This feature, already highlighted as highly convenient in summer announcements, aims to streamline the process of zoi creation even further, as emphasized by Kjun. Additionally, the game will introduce the option for players to have their own pets within the game world. However, this feature won't be available during the early access phase, requiring fans to exercise a bit more patience. It's worth noting that Kjun himself is a passionate animal lover, which adds a personal touch to this upcoming feature.

InZOI will also feature tall buildings, with a height limit set at 30 floors. While the game's engine theoretically supports higher constructions, this cap is a strategic decision to mitigate potential performance issues, ensuring a smoother gaming experience for all players. The game environment will be enriched with the inclusion of gas stations and the introduction of fights. Responding to community feedback, Kjun acknowledged that the initial slap mechanic felt too simplistic. As a result, the game will now offer full-fledged fights, complete with defined winners and losers, adding depth and engagement to the gameplay.

Recognizing that InZOI may attract many newcomers to the genre, the developers are committed to including a comprehensive tutorial. This thoughtful addition demonstrates the team's dedication to ensuring a welcoming and accessible experience for all players, regardless of their familiarity with similar games.

As of now, Krafton remains on track to release InZOI in early access at the end of March, with no further delays currently anticipated. This update has certainly heightened the anticipation and excitement surrounding the game's launch.
