Notes
- This thread is a work in progress and will be updated and refined based on ongoing comments.
- All referenced videos are setting representative only — in inZOI, these mechanics should be implemented as a localized UI with dedicated control panels for instruments, mixing, and character movements.
- It’s preferable to split the content into Luxury, Rhythm & Glory, and Movies, as each theme explores different dimensions and offers distinct gameplay. Merging them into a single package is more likely to result in repetative mechanics.
