The current active jobs are alright but aren’t that engaging once you’ve done it once. Some alternative active jobs with a good game play loop would be to add active jobs around navigating the city.

As suggested in this video adding an active job for driving people around like a taxi driver, or food delivery would allow players to quickly become familiar with the world and engage with Zois. It also serves as a good use case to add a GPS feature.

Better Active Jobs

  • Ride Share Driver: Pay varies by peak hours and distance, tips vary based on whether you get Zois to their destination on time, avoid accidents, etc.
  • Pocket Market Food Delivery: Deliver food around the city and on time before the food gets cold to earn better tips. Maybe even encounter scammers who claim their food wasn’t delivered.
  • City Sanitation Worker: Pick up trash, sweep the streets, paint over graffiti. There are already NPC Zois in yellow vests that clean around the city, so it should not be much to allow that to be a job for players. Since there is already a city control for “City Sanitation” this job can be activated if the control is set to a certain level.

Also these kinds of jobs are great for rags to riches storylines.

I would really like this as an active freelance job, especially since we already have the package delivery freelance career.

Instead of a normal career with fixed working hours, I imagine something more like opening the phone whenever we want to work and seeing available driving requests. We could accept one, drive to the passenger’s location, pick them up and actually take them to their destination ourselves.

The payment could depend on things like distance and maybe how smoothly the trip went. Tips could also be possible, and over time we could build up a better driver rating/reputation.

I think it would fit really well with the existing direct driving because it would give us an actual gameplay reason to drive around the city instead of cars only being transportation from A to B.

Since taxi/rideshare driving has already been mentioned by Kjun for future vehicle gameplay, I would especially love if it worked through this kind of flexible freelance/request system rather than only being a normal scheduled job. That way we could basically decide: “I need some extra Mew today, let’s take a few passengers”.
