The new Keyboard Interaction mode for Shoulder View shows very good promise but is NOT natural. It does not target what is at the CENTER of the screen. Instead targeting what is in FRONT of the ZOI and relying on pressing “V” to switch targets.
Switching targets is completely unnecessary and unintuitive to players of 3rd person games. Targetting should be manually done by the player focused on the center of the screen like there’s an invisible crosshair.
We also should not have to hold down “Right Click” to look around during Shoulder View. As soon as we switch to Shoulder View, Mouse movements should automatically rotate the screen like most 3rd person games. If we need the mouse for UI Purpose, “Right click” toggle to enable the cursor and disable automatic mouse rotation to be able to click on things on screen. “Right click” toggle again to re-enable Mouse Movement Rotation.
Pressing “F” on an interactable object will pop up the options. Re-enable the mouse cursor automatically when that happens. Allow us also the ability to navigate the options with the WASD or Arrow keys.
Time should be slowed down automatically like the “ALT” does right now whenever the pop up options appear to give us time to decide what to pick.
The most unique thing about InZoi vs the Sims is this Over the Shoulder 3rd person mechanic. Please pursue and lean into it. It’s unique. We can be right there in control and immersed closely in the action compared to the Sims. It just needs better controls and mechanics.
Simple Interaction crosshair visualized. Only appears when an Interactable object is under it.
The center of my screen and Interaction crosshair is pointed at the Microwave but my Zoi is targeting the Espresso Machine. This should not happen. The interaction target circles only clutter up the screen needlessly. We only need the Interaction Crosshair that appears when an Interactable object is under it.
*Another example, The crosshair is not pointed at the garbage yet my zoi is still targeting it. There should be reasonable accuracy so we can pinpoint what exactly it is we want to interact with.
