Kjun's Letter: Meet the Team at the inZOI MeetUp!

[p]Hello, Creators.[/p][p][/p][p]Kjun here.[/p][p][/p][p]Here in Korea, the monsoon season has just begun, and it's been raining almost every day. How's the weather where you are? I imagine summer is in full swing for some of you as well. On our end, we're busy preparing for gamescom this August, while also pouring our excitement into development for Cahaya.[/p][p][/p][p]In addition to working on the build for gamescom, we've been preparing several events. One event that we're especially excited to announce is the inZOI MeetUp, which will offer Creators a chance to meet and communicate with the inZOI Team in person.[/p][p][/p][p]Over the past two years, our community has shown incredible support for inZOI. This event is dedicated to honoring that support, bringing our team and the community together to reflect on the past, present, and future of inZOI. We hope it becomes a special experience for everyone involved, and we can't wait to see you there.[/p][p][/p][p]Registration for the MeetUp will begin on July 4, which happens to be the day this post goes live. While we unfortunately won't be able to invite everyone, we hope to see as many Creators as possible join us for this special occasion.[/p][p][/p][p]This event was planned for two main reasons. First, we wanted to personally thank the many Creators who have supported inZOI through our journey so far. Second, now that it's been about 90 days since inZOI's early access release, I've had some time to look back upon whether I had truly understood what our players wanted. Recent conversations with Partner Creators, along with feedback from the broader community, allowed our team to reflect on areas we might have overlooked. At the upcoming MeetUp, we hope to hear similar feedback firsthand to help shape the direction of the game's development and updates going forward.[/p][p][/p][p]Please keep letting us know what you think. Your feedback helps shape the future of inZOI and is always appreciated.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you again for your continued passion and support.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you.[/p][p]- Kjun[/p]

Inzoi delays next modding update, extending the wait for custom interactions

The next Inzoi modding update is delayed, as Krafton's Inzoi Studio confirms it's pushing back the second rollout of mod tools for its ultra-realistic life sim "to ensure feature completeness." Previously scheduled for September, the new additions will give modders more capability to address some of the bigger complaints about the recently released challenger to The Sims 4, with the potential to create custom interactions and specific character features.

Modding Roadmap Schedule Update

[p]Hello, Creators.[/p][p][/p][p]This is an update regarding changes made to the schedule and content of inZOI's modding roadmap for 2025.[/p][p][/p]

[p]The next modding update, initially scheduled for September, has been postponed to October. It will be released alongside the inZOI gameplay update planned for the same period.[/p]

[p]In addition, we've decided to exclude a UI editor feature originally planned for this update following internal review.
[/p]

[p]This decision was made to ensure feature completeness, better alignment with the game's overall direction, and more consistent quality. Additional details will be shared around the time of the October update. To avoid any confusion with the previously revealed roadmap, we will be sharing these changes through our official channels as they happen.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for your continued interest in inZOI's modding features. We will continue to work hard to create a game that lives up to your expectations.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you,[/p][p]The inZOI Team[/p]

The next Inzoi city completely transforms the Sims rival into Stardew Valley

Hyper realistic life sim Inzoi is a strong contender to the virtual-world titan that is The Sims 4, even if Krafton still has a way to go to finish fleshing it out through early access. What I didn't expect was for it to square up to the likes of Stardew Valley. In a new letter from Hungjun 'Kjun' Kim, the Inzoi game director teases its third location, and it's been given a pretty dramatic redesign. Formerly announced as Kucingku, it's now Cahaya, a "resort-themed destination" that totally changes how your digital life plays out, making it into more of a farming game.
