Hills, Cliffs & Waterfalls — Bringing More Natural Wonders to inZOI

I understand that you prefer a calm playstyle, and that’s completely normal. Everyone has their own vision of what they want to find in a life simulation. However, that’s your personal preference, not the only definition of what a life simulation can be.

A life simulation should allow for representing different lifestyles and different ways of living. For some Zois, this can be a quiet life in the city. For others, it can be a life closer to nature, with fishing, hunting, camping, agriculture, or exploration.

inZOI already shows this direction. The game already has fishing, driving, car theft, and theft. The developers are also going to soon add free underwater swimming with activities and things to discover beneath the surface, as well as jumping. Yet these features don’t change the identity of the game.

A single feature doesn’t define what a game is. What matters is the overall experience and the freedom given to the player.

A Zoi can be a researcher, run a clothing boutique, grow and sell their vegetables, make a living from fishing or hunting, or follow a completely different path. That’s precisely the principle of a life simulation: creating your own life and your own story.

The wishlist exists precisely to allow players to share different ideas and possibilities. Everyone should be free to propose the type of life they would like to create for their Zoi. The developers can then decide what fits their vision of inZOI.

A complete life simulation should offer different ways to live, and not force everyone to follow the same way of playing. That’s also why I chose inZoi. :wink:

Yeah, but they still shut out some suggestions on the WISHLIST saying it’s GTA​:neutral_face:, but the thing they’re forgetting the gameplay is determinized by the PLAYER, which is optional to have a COZEY GAMESTYLE or an ADVENTUROUSE and ACTIVE GAMESTYLE​:smiling_face_with_sunglasses::grin:

We started with “more hills and waterfalls would be nice” and somehow arrived at the Supreme Court hearing on whether quiet gameplay has constitutional protection.

Yeah, am even shocked myself​:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

This isn’t hunting it’s not a medieval game. :grin: These requests of yours are going to ruin the game. @MUTARE @Kara Yes your can try GTA which comes out in a few months. :laughing: If you want to experience different lifestyles you should play GTA. You shouldn’t try to make the game similar to GTA.

Well, yeah and the thing you’re forgetting it’s not a must if u don’t wanna play the suggested DLC or FEATURES​:grin::grin::grin:

I think there’s some confusion about what a life simulation is. You keep coming back to the GTA comparison whenever an idea falls outside your own vision of the genre, but that’s not really the point.

A life simulation actually needs different tools and possibilities to give players more freedom and allow them to create the stories they want for each Zoi. Every player can have a different vision of their characters’ lives.

Adding an activity doesn’t transform inZOI into a different game — they’re simply additional possibilities. An idea that doesn’t match your way of playing can still have a place on a wishlist.

I think we simply have two different visions, so I’m going to stop here on this topic.

Yeah :yawning_face: , you’re right.
What’s the point of even arguing :confused: :roll_eyes:

I love mountains with all my heart, and of course I would love them to be added so we could explore them! Same with lakes and forests. We could photograph nature, mountains, seas, animals and display our photos at exhibitions.
