The extremely successful release of the inZOI life simulator didn't make its developers lazy. On the contrary, Krafon studio is diligently working to make sure the game gets better every day it's in early access. A perfect example of developers' commitment is the latest update, introducing several important fixes.
One of the elements that the update addresses is the aging of ZOI, which can now be turned off. To do this, you need to go to the game options, then select the "Simulation" tab, then "Aging (My Zois)" and "Aging (Other Zois)."
Even though in real life each of us likes to sleep in from time to time, watching characters in inZOI indulge in this activity can be slightly irritating. Therefore, the discussed update significantly reduces the sleep time of Zois.
Sleep patterns were originally designed to reflect real-life behavior, such as sleeping in when tired. However, this level of realism caused friction with the game's time flow. Sleep duration has now been reduced for smoother gameplay - devs explain.
If it annoyed you, much like Zois' endless dream, that the characters didn't eat the meals they prepared, you can now relax. The creators also addressed this issue.
Some rather amusing situations related to the birth of children also took place. Among them, we can mention the issue that caused the new Zois not to be born when the parents got divorced during the pregnancy. The bug that stopped the birth from occurring when the interaction queue was full has been fixed.
Besides the mentioned changes and fixes, the team also dealt with, among others:
- reducing the rate of change in Karma value;
- balancing the pace of relationship development, which was previously too fast;
- a bug, due to which emotional reinforcements persisted too long after the action had ended.
The developers emphasized that they are constantly working "to make the game more stable, intuitive, and enjoyable for all players." The fact that their work brings positive results is evidenced by the inZOI sales results.
- Baby kidnapping in inZOI sparks a problem that is probably waiting to be patched up
- inZOI characters no longer look like they came from a nightmare. That's thanks to realistic shadows and lighting, which players have been asking for
- InZOI life sim reduces awkward conversations and fixes one particular pregnancy problem
