2. Improvements for “Object Interactions”

Motorcycles
- Give rider/passenger a head tracking to surrounding, looking around, or some animations to look alive.
- Add visor to NPC motorcycle riders, it looks better than sunglasses.
-
Boats & Cars
- Give passengers the same sitting animations like how they sit on chairs.
4. Improvements for “Cahaya NPC”
-
Add Unique Zois
- These 3 new pre-made Zois looks really good and unique, but they are not in Cahaya. They should be in Cahaya by default, and to be used in trailers and promotional contents for Cahaya DLC.
-
Add Indonesian-Inspired Clothings
- Add a few Indonesian-inspired clothings (especially headwears) and apply to locals in Cahaya to make them look more distinct than Zois in Dowon & Blissbay.
-
Add NPC “Role/Job-Position” Info
- When we mouse over (highlight) working NPC Zois, we should be able to see their role or job position info. So it’s easier to know whether they’re just a regular Zoi or have a specific role in the city.
-
Add More Children
- I haven’t seen any child Zoi in Cahaya walking around. Most of them are grown-ups.
5. Improvements for “Main Island“
-
Add “Sales Mat/Stand” for NPC
- Add a few “Sales Mat/Stand” objects around the streets can be used by NPC or player (if empty).
- If NPC is using it, they will sell items based on specific theme:
- Fishes only
- Gems only
- Vegetables only
- Fruits only
- Snacks only
- Mixed Items
6. Improvements for “Resort Island”
-
Turtlebot Race Track
- Make the game duration slower and longer. Other Zois couldn’t watch/support/react to the game because it ended so quickly.
-
Spa
- Give each spa treament different animations.
- Make each spa treatment duration much longer, for relaxation.
- Make the spa therapists do other activities while there’s no customers:
- Spray the seating
- Clean the massage table
- Greet customers
-
Sauna
- Give different sauna animations based on Zoi’s mood.
-
Add “Mascot NPC”
- Add a working NPC wearing mascot on certain days to entertain and welcome tourists.
- Other NPC Zois can be seen interacting with this mascot to take pictures, selfies and be entertained.
7. Improvements for “Deserted Island”
-
Add “Fully Grown Trees”
- Add a few random fully grown trees that players can harvest from (mangoes, bananas, etc).
- Anyone can harvest because there’s no owner in deserted island.
8. Improvements for “Shop/Retail Mart“
-
Add an option to buy snacks from retail shelves to put in bag (1 item or set quantity). This should also apply to other similar shelves as well.
-
This will make places like “shops/retail/marts” feels more functional like an actual mart, to be able to buy snacks instead of immediately eating.
9. “City-Based Tasks” by NPC
-
If you reached a higher level of business relationship with NPC Zois in the city, there might be an option to “Ask if Need Any Help”. Sometimes, they may offer you tasks with rewards.
-
Tasks are available depending on their moods, needs or thoughts. For example, if they’re sick from illness, they might offer a task to give them medicine.
-
Tasks :
- Clean the streets
- Throw away trashes
- Take photos for tourists
- Send letters / postcards
- Find thief / lost item
- Craft/cook something
- Give items (crops/fishes/collectibles/gems/foods/medicine/etc)
-
Rewards :
- Money / Purr coins / Any rewards
- Business relationship level increases+++
10. Additional Improvements
-
Add Simple “House Rental” System
- When travel city, player can select any residental lot in the map to rent. Each day passes in Cahaya, money will be automatically charged.
- If not enough money, Zois will be kicked out and have 2 options:
- Travel back to home city
- Find another place to rent
-
New Action-Based Social Interaction
- “Ask To….”
- “Ask To” harvest all plants
- “Ask To” water all plants
- “Ask To” dispose all trash
- “Ask To” cook any food
- “Ask To” clean house
- Other Zoi can accept or refuse, based on their emotion and relationship status.
- “Ask To….”
Having NPCs in the city give out small, time-limited tasks would really make the world feel more interactive and alive. Things like cleaning, deliveries, or taking tourist photos sound fun and lightweight, but still rewarding.
