This week, the developers of InZOI are taking a well-deserved break to celebrate the New Year with a three-day holiday in South Korea. Before stepping away, project lead Hyungjun "Kjun" Kim shared valuable insights into the much-anticipated features that fans have been requesting for the game. These updates not only highlight the direction InZOI is heading but also demonstrate the team's commitment to enhancing the player experience based on community feedback.
One of the exciting features coming to InZOI is the ability to use real facial capture to create templates for crafting zois. While this was already announced as a convenient feature during the summer, Kjun emphasized the team's goal to further simplify the process, making it even more accessible for players to bring their unique creations to life.
Animal lovers will be thrilled to know that players will eventually be able to have their own pets in the game. Although this feature won't be available during the early access phase, fans can look forward to it in future updates. Interestingly, Kjun himself is a big animal enthusiast, which adds a personal touch to this upcoming addition.
InZOI's world will include tall buildings, with a cap set at 30 floors. While the game engine theoretically supports higher constructions, this limitation is in place to address potential performance issues, ensuring a smooth gaming experience for all players.
For those looking for some action, the game will feature gas stations and full-fledged fights. Kjun noted that the initial slap mechanic felt too shallow to players, and after listening to their feedback, the team has enhanced the combat system. Now, players can engage in complete fights with clear winners and losers, adding depth and excitement to the gameplay.
Understanding that InZOI will attract many newcomers to the genre, the developers are including a tutorial to help players get started. This thoughtful approach to onboarding new players is commendable and reflects the team's dedication to ensuring a welcoming environment for everyone.
As of now, Krafton remains committed to releasing InZOI in early access at the end of March, with no further delays expected. Fans can look forward to diving into this innovative game and experiencing the new features that have been carefully crafted based on their feedback.
