I have been playing Inzoi on a weekly basis and most of the time - just like a lot of players - the world is gorgeous but empty and boring.
Here’s the things that I would suggest to the team to make the city more immersive and alive :
More people walking and interacting with the city/each other
Functional food truck where the our Zois can eat from 11 AM-11 PM
Pop up events in the city (gardening club in a park, people protesting, kids playing football, surfing lessons on the beach, concert, random accidents that attracts people around, festivals in the park, celebrations/holidays like Christmas/ Halloween with themes/decorations all around the city)
Being part of a club/ association that gather each week at a specific location (bikers, painters, gym, art lovers, gardening etc.).
More weather features that interact with the city. Most of the time if it rains/snows it doesn’t really affect the routine whereas it should enhance the gameplay (such as playing in the rain, showering in the rain, crying in the rain, playing with mud, making snowball etc.).
More apartments/ neighbors that let us go inside their apartments/ invite us / gather around a meal etc. food
More public spaces to interact with (functional restaurants, travel agency, library with cashier etc.) I believe the team is already implementing but that’s important to note
More clutters /items for the city to personalize it (for instance trash on the floor, more graffities, more different cars/bike/scooters)
Accidents. The game is a simulation so it’s safe to say that we need more realistic things within the city such as agression, thief, Inzoi burning things etc. It doesn’t have to be violent, just something out of the routine
I think Inzoi needs to prioritize Public Location over roaming the streets to increase interaction with player. At least Smart Zois by there personality and not just roming the city. .Maybe people you talk to before would icon so they easier to spot Spot. But yeah I pretty much agree with everything here
What would make it more alive for me is if they just let me play my town as it was. I had 383 Zois in my town and they scaled it back to just under the 300 limit. My computer had no trouble handling the additional Zois and now game play feels so empty. I stopped playing because the little bit of fun I was having is done.
I created a ticket for this and got blown off. Since they say they want feedback (I don’t believe it) maybe I’ll get a better response here.
I want more activities and locations specifically for kids and teens. Just roaming the streets, I find it hard to meet teens at random. I went walking with my teen and found plenty of young adults and a few adolescents, but teens were hard to fine. I hope the new arcade location attracts more teens. I can kind of get by with the kids because its easier to spot other kids. But you have to hover to find out if a Zoi is a teen/adolecent and they all physically look the same as young adults.
They have one already. You can already turn up / down the amount of Zois you want to appear in each town. I had mine all the way up with no problems. They just arbitrarily set the cap lower with one of the updates.
Now my Zoi’s two best friends send her goodbye texts and then get removed from existence. I already submitted a ticket and complained, got a non-answer response, and no word on if they are ever going to fix this.
The game is so gloomy I stopped playing. Between people being removed from existence, or families I never asked for dying in slip and fall accidents, it was too depressing to play. I miss my town and the game I was playing though and would like to be able to play it again without Zois disappearing. I don’t care at all about the new town coming out this month.
One idea I have is when zois can debut as idols they can participate at university festivals performing, it would give them a little more to do.
Kids could be playing outisde or at the park with their friends or neighbours even with mud or snow, older zois could try to help elders but some of the elders may be pickpocketers so they need to be careful, if they do, you can call the police.
Zois can go for a walk with other zois or even window shopping while they try to keep the younger ones calmed and with them, if later we have pets they can go for a walk (even with cats) and zois could interact with them (same if they add strollers).
The teens and kis can talk to their friends and go together to school walking and talking or even go to their homes and asks their parents permission to go out and play or even do pranks to some neighbour.
Elder zois could be doing Tai Chi or going for a walk specially during the morning or go to get the newspaper or a magazine.
Zois should be able to go and visit their family or try to talk to them if they encounter at street or school, maybe even parents could scold teens if they lied about their location
