[07.03.26] Survey: which phone notification system do you prefer?

Brainstorm with Kjun

Kjun has showed us a new development featrue that changes the previous phone message notification system where instead of a short preview of the message in the lower end of the screen, we get the phone to completely open up in the left side with the whole message to read.

He asked us what we preferred, and I thought it would be useful to make a survey for the players.

Below are the images of both versions:

version 1
version 11197×625 183 KB

version 2
version 21201×641 197 KB

What messaging notification system do you prefer?

  • I prefer to see the message preview in the bottom
  • I prefer to see the full message on the left side

I think the system we are currently using is better.

I much prefer it to be a small pop-up but perhaps they could add a little button to ‘dismiss’ or ‘mark as read’ so that we don’t have tons of unread notifications on the phone. Thanks for making this poll!

Me too tbh. With all the unwanted texts like from collection society, and ads and everything, I just don’t want them to pop up like that.

That is a good idea indeed. It would solve the problem I believe they were trying to solve with this new pop up idea without clogging our UIs too much.

It would be ridiculous and annoying to ruin a feature that’s working well. Instead the team should focus on fixing broken features and adding new ones not breaking existing ones.

If they are changing it I believe they must have gotten some kind of negative reaction either outside or inside the team about how the notification system works now, but honestly I like it the way it is, and everywhere I ask people seem to agree so I hope they will discard the new changes.

I don’t really see the point of having the full phone interface pop up every time. If InZOI is aiming for a more realistic and immersive life simulation, I think making the phone a truly interactive object would be a much more interesting direction for the future.

I think so too. In real life, you ignore notifications you don’t care about and open only when you’re interested.

Yes! Sometimes you don’t need to read the whole message to know what it’s about (like with the messages from the collector’s association).

Woah woah, why does the poll show who voted what, where is the privacy people, I don’t want everyone knowing what I voted for. >.<

My apologies but I don’t think there’s a way to hide it. But don’t worry, the information is not very sensitive :laughing:

It seems that Kjun acknowledged that most of us don’t want the whole screen pop up, and will keep the notification system as it is now. I think we can count that as a win :partying_face:

I really hope so =) I mean, IMHO the original, small pop-up is way better, but if the majority of players wanted the new one, I’d be able to deal with it too. Keeping the current version would be my fave though.

This is very good news. I’m very happy. Features that are working well should definitely not be touched. :slightly_smiling_face: Instead features that are not present in the game should be prioritized.
