Loving your ideas and thoughts this is what I hope eventually comes to the game as well. There’s a lot of inspiration that can be taken from these exact games and placed into Inzoi to give a truly unique gaming experience.
Another cool thing I kinda hope is also possible is that there could be a ZoiLive app. Where zois could stream live videos to social media, get likes and comments. I’m not sure if you remember the trailer (or maybe it was a showcase video) where it was a zoi and two other zois dressed as bears and it looked like a live stream going on? I hope that’s possible to some degree, but, you’re recording videos live in real time and sharing it to others in the world (not saved or it could be to view later within the ui) but yeah

There should be an app on the phone for downloading other apps, which cost in-game money. Some of these apps might come with DLC, but apps should also be able to be provided by game mods.

Watch Dogs 2 had all of that built in – I lifted the concept straight from there!
Let’s take a look inside the BLUME Store: Driver - $3, ScoutX – $6, Media Player - $3, SongSneak - $4, Director’s Cut - $4. The others were purchased earlier by the player, but they’re paid too 
Yeah, I spotted something similar in Ananta’s gameplay trailer — it’s probably scripted, but it looks intriguing (which is exactly why I’m looking forward to the game). If I spot it in the live gameplay footage from TGA (which is actively being uploaded right now), I’ll drop more.

Oh nice! I’ve not heard of this game before but will take a look at it. How taxing do you think this kind of feature would be for Inzoi? If it’s being simulated in real time and the data is constantly being added to (where you can go back and watch clips)
Edit: I love the concept of the game having a breaking news that shows what’s happening in the game’s world and live streams. I would really love to see something like this be a interesting feature for Inzoi. Especially breaking news that could eventually allow residents to get involved or not. By either: reporting crime, actionable movements (taking down criminals, punching,etc.), whistleblowing information.
I don’t know what to say 
inZOI had a brilliant concept, a mix of several genres and games, but it ended up bogged down in the typical issues of life simulators, rolling that concept back 10–20 years due to inexperience with large-scale game dev. Frankly, inZOI just needs to drop everything tied to Sims in order to move into other open-world gameplay concepts (like blogging and news) and stop struggling with audience and performance loss. Games are about entertainment first and foremost.
Ananta also blends elements from 10+ well-known games, but that’s because NetEase allowed NakedRain to hire 700 people and is publishing Marvel Rivals. Sure, there are scripts (this game targets PC, PS5, and mobile devices), but it’s also a living manual for game dev.
I like all of these ideas for the smartphone - given they are central to modern life it makes sense that this would be reflected in a modern life-sim.
Heck, I would be satisfied with actually being able to call and talk to other zoi’s, that would be a step in the right direction.

Great idea! The camera for both video and image capture is something I really missed on the phone. Since they can currently take photos but when they take them themselves they don’t get saved, and I would love for them to be. Especially when two people take a photo together, because when we do it manually it doesn’t have the same perspective and then if you want to decorate your house with a picture, well, the photo doesn’t look as informal… And it’s a simple wish, but it’s a detail that could be possible.

Oh yes! That’s true. The fact that you can’t just call a Zoi to talk to them at first shocked me, then I got used to it and forgot about it 
Similarly, the issue of being able to have more options when replying to a message, which I think has improved somewhat, but I would like there to be the option, for example, to send a humorous message or to tell something important for the Zoi’s life, not just necessarily to greet them politely or rudely.
Yes, I would love it if the photos/selfies our zois took could be saved and placed in their homes, that would enable us to record moments and memories, and make our builds look more personal and cosy at the same time.

Wow, it’s wild on Discord again this time, so much feedback in just 12 hours, thank you guys. I’m glad that suggesting non-sims (or highly modded) features is what pushed the posts into trending.

Music Player App
I’ve been meaning to sketch out a Music Player App for the Smartphone UI and Build Mode, and something’s finally taking shape, inspired by the official MV inZOI Team style on YouTube.
(Since many of us have written about wanting to listen to and control music through Zoi’s earphones, and to upload custom music into the game.)
The App has 4 tabs:
• Styles – standard music styles used in the audio systems
• OST – background music from the lobby, Build Mode, etc.
• Radio – playlists provided by the devs, either as their own selections or promos tied to collabs or updates, meant to set the mood
• Custom (music/playlists) – user playlists and folders from Documents/inZOI/…
(tracks shown in the screenshots are from the inZOI collabs on X, so there’s no copyright issue)
Player controls include:
• Track cover, title, and artist
• Play/pause, previous/next, volume or seek (though people mostly wanted volume control)
• «Paw» button: expands the player controls popup, showing the full playlist.
• Smart Home / Stream button – to stream the track from the active Zoi’s phone to all devices (by default, music plays in Zoi’s earphones – audible to the player, but will switch if someone else is listening to something else, or turn off the music)
Might need some tweaks and a repost next time – who knows
