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.
