Hello, Creators!


We're excited to introduce Smart Zoi, an experimental feature that makes Zois more autonomous and intelligent. 
Powered by enhanced AI, this feature allows Zois to interact with the world with personality and realism, allowing you to experience simulations of unprecedented quality.
The Smart Zoi feature is still in development, and we plan on further expanding its capabilities. 
If you're interested in being among the first to experience this groundbreaking feature, please refer to the guide below.

1. Minimum, Medium, Recommended, and High System Requirements for Enabling the Smart Zoi Feature 


Our team is continuously working to optimize and improve the game's performance to allow more players to enjoy Smart Zoi smoothly. 
We are also actively exploring ways to lower the minimum system requirements while maintaining a stable gameplay experience.
However, please note that Smart Zoi is still an experimental feature with high system requirements. 
As such, we recommend carefully checking your system specifications to ensure the best possible experience.
We will continue to optimize and improve upon this feature to help more players experience its full potential.


2. Enabling the Smart Zoi Feature 

To help players eager to try out Smart Zoi firsthand, we've prepared a detailed guide with instructions on how to enable the feature. Please follow the steps listed below to enable the Smart Zoi feature. We recommend keeping all other settings unchanged.

• Game Options > Gameplay > Enable Smart Zoi > On

3. Currently Known Issues 

To showcase its potential, we are currently offering Smart Zoi as an experimental feature. 
To use this feature, you'll need to enter a prompt using the Zoi Pen, which currently only supports English. 
As this feature is still in development, please note that you may also encounter the following issues.

• New schedule items may fail to be created if your Zoi goes to bed late.
• Creating new journal entries and editing schedule items is temporarily disabled when playback speed is at 5x or higher.
• A Zoi's Inner Thoughts may disappear very quickly during conversations with other Zois.
• Having many sleepy Zois (up to five) on-screen after 11 p.m. may cause the game to lag.

4. Conclusion 

Our team remains committed to continuously improving inZOI based on your valuable feedback. 
We sincerely appreciate your patience and support and hope you'll continue to follow inZOI as it continues to grow and evolve.
Thank you again for your continued support. 
We look forward to bringing you even more content and improvements throughout early access!


Best regards,
The inZOI team

Some of our past statements about Denuvo have been removed from the announcement after a careful discussion with the Denuvo team, as it may create somewhat unfounded preconceptions about their service. However, this does NOT change our decision about removing Denuvo, and our wayahead remains unchanged.

Hello,
This is Kjun, Producer & Director of inZOI.

Recently, we’ve seen growing concern around the implementation of the Denuvo anti-tamper solution in inZOI. While we wanted to respond as quickly as possible, we also felt it was important to approach the issue with care—consulting with teams from around the world to make a thoughtful and informed decision. We sincerely apologize for the delay in providing this official response.

To address the most important point: we have decided to remove Denuvo from the Early Access build of inZOI.

We initially chose to implement Denuvo as a way to protect the game from illegal distribution. At the time, we believed this would help ensure fairness for players who had properly purchased the game. However, after taking a closer look at community feedback, we quickly realized that this approach did not align with what our players wanted.

Our initial application of Denuvo on our main development build made it so that the inZOI: Creative Studio demo build, a branch from the main build, was also applied with the same anti-tamper. Unfortunately, we failed to properly inform our players of this application during the demo period, and we sincerely apologize for that oversight.

We understand that removing Denuvo increases the risk of the game being cracked and illegally distributed after release. At the same time, we believe it opens up a valuable opportunity: it allows inZOI to become more freely configurable—unlocking new ways for players to shape new experiences for other players. We believe enabling this freedom from the very beginning will lead to innovative and long-lasting enjoyment for the community.

As I mentioned during the Online Showcase, we are committed to making inZOI a highly moddable game. Our first stage of official mod support will launch in May, allowing players to use tools like Maya and Blender to create custom content. But this is only the beginning. Over time, we plan to expand mod support across more areas of the game, so you can customize and enhance your experience in many different ways. (More information on modding will be shared in a separate post.)

As a development team committed to putting players first, the decision to remove the anti-tamper solution became a clear one. We will continue to prioritize your feedback and make well-informed decisions throughout our Early Access development.

We want to sincerely apologize for not aligning more closely with player expectations on this sensitive issue. We regret the concern and confusion this has caused within the community, and we’re committed to rebuilding your trust as we move forward in developing the best possible experience.

Thank you so much for your continued love and support. Please keep sharing your feedback, as it truly helps us make inZOI better for everyone.

Sincerely,
Kjun
