Hello everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday. I’m posting this quite late in Korea time​—I usually make sure to be in bed before midnight, but tonight I’m up much later.

The reason is that it was really difficult to describe the features we’re developing in short sentences. If I explained each one in detail, the document would become too long. I tried to keep it as brief and clear as possible, but since English isn’t my native language, some parts may sound a bit awkward. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

As I mentioned earlier, there won’t be a video this Friday. Most of the team is on vacation, so the office is pretty quiet. I’m not taking a break because I’m writing this post for you… just kidding!

To keep the inZOI team developing with energy and joy next year, I felt it was important to share our 2026 plans with you first and get your feedback—so I’m sending this a bit urgently. And then… I’m going to take a little rest too ^^;

Our 2026 plan has two big parts:
`“2026 Roadmap”
“Fundamentals First”, a name we chose to reflect our focus on polishing and strengthening the core experience.

In 2026, especially as we move into the second half of the year, we plan to increase the share of work dedicated to Fundamentals First. That’s why the scope of the 2026 Roadmap gradually becomes smaller toward the latter half of the year. I believe many of you will strongly agree with this direction.

There’s one main reason I’m sharing this document:
If you read it and think, “kjun, this isn’t it! We need to improve something else first!”—I really want to hear that feedback.

This list was compiled by reviewing posts across multiple online communities and Discord. There are still many issues we haven’t solved yet, and we still have a lot to improve. Even so, I hope you can feel from this document that the team is genuinely doing everything we can to make this game better.

While we are continuing to grow the team, it may not be possible to implement every item on this list in 2026—and some may even be technically impossible. That said, the good news is that some of the graphics content you’ve asked for (to make gameplay richer) should be possible to develop in parallel.

We’re also considering better ways to gather your feedback—posting this list on other communities, or creating an in-game survey, for example. Because there are so many items, we’ll need to set priorities. We’re still discussing whether it’s better to collect priorities by category, or to gather responses and read the overall trend. What matters most, though, is this: in order to fix the most painful gaps as quickly as possible—so I don’t feel ashamed when talking to you—we’ve already started development on items #1–#7 on the list.

Thank you so much for loving this project over the past year, even with all its imperfections. We’ll keep pushing ourselves, and we’ll build an even better inZOI with an ambitious and hopeful plan for 2026.

Now, there are only a few days left in 2025. Thanks to you, so many wonderful things happened to me this year. I’d like to share that story separately in a post on Wednesday—my “last post of 2025.”
When the end of the year gets close, each day somehow feels more precious. Starting today, every remaining day is a “last day of 2025.” I hope you enjoy the rest of this year, and when the new year comes, I hope you’ll continue to cherish each day like this—because in the end, we only ever live in “today.”
On the last Friday of 2025,

Sincerely,
kjun

P.S. Some items may overlap between “2026 New Development” and “Fundamentals First.” The quarterly schedule for “2026 New Development” may be delayed or changed depending on progress.

Kjun’s Reply to Your Comments

Hello everyone,
It’s hard to believe that today is the last day of 2025.

Thank you so much for leaving so many posts about the roadmap and for sharing such thoughtful advice. Among all the feedback we received during the same period, some of you shared an especially large number of detailed comments, and we are truly grateful for that level of interest and care.

Because of this, it doesn’t seem possible for me to reply to every comment one by one today. However, since every opinion is valuable, we plan to carefully organize all of your feedback and create a “task list” starting next year. We will also share with you what we have worked on and completed from that list.

Additionally, while nothing is fully confirmed yet, we are reviewing the possibility of updating Fundamentals First on a monthly basis. Improving this as quickly as possible is one of my most important goals for 2026, and I see it as a way of giving back to all of you.

Fortunately, the overall response to the 2026 roadmap has been positive. Many of you expressed high expectations and requested stronger core systems along with a wide variety of new content. In particular, you shared many ideas and references related to family and social interactions, deeper career systems, modding support, graphics and UI improvements, and more realistic daily-life simulations.

Before we wrap up the final day of 2025, I’d like to respond to a few of the topics you mentioned. ^^;

Even this week, you requested improvements to core features such as controlling Zoi’s automatic outfit changes, adding intimate interactions (forehead kisses, long hugs, holding hands, etc.), interaction canceling, using nearby objects, and interactions while holding babies. We are currently adding more intimate interactions, and we are also developing features that allow outfits and makeup to be changed all at once or automatically adjusted based on the situation.

Careers and Economy Systems

Many of you requested the addition and deepening of various career paths, including police, crime-related jobs, medical professions, firefighters, taxi drivers, delivery jobs, and more. You also asked for realistic workplace animations and interactions, promotion systems, education-linked careers, and improved evaluation systems.
As mentioned in the roadmap, we plan to develop systems where suitability is judged through interviews, criminal history and reputation are reflected, and special promotions are possible based on stats. We are also considering a system where careers are available from adolescence to old age, with pensions after retirement. By strengthening workplace relationships, we aim to create realistic hierarchies and dynamics among bosses, colleagues, and subordinates, including competition, cooperation, and responsibility. We are also planning vacation and attendance systems, including paid leave, and consequences such as promotions or dismissals based on lateness, absences, or false sick leave.
Developing the entire career system will take several months, but this is an area we know needs more depth, so we intend to approach it with extra care and focus.

Graphics and UI Improvements

You requested high-resolution graphic options, improved shadows and lighting, multiple camera perspectives (first-person and third-person), UI optimization, expanded minimaps (for walking and driving), and a wider variety of sleeping and resting poses.
I personally strongly agree with the requests for more sleep and rest poses, so we will start development immediately and aim to update this quickly. As for graphic options, I’d like to let you know that development is already in progress. Personally, I really want to see a first-person view become a reality.

Environment and Building Improvements

There were requests for terrain features such as hills and bridges, expanded architectural styles (rounded roofs, stained-glass windows, arched doors, etc.), interior and exterior painting, stairs and foundation work, and overall improvements to the convenience and variety of Build Mode. Issues related to Canvas Town and large plot usage were also mentioned.
This was one of the most challenging parts of the roadmap. Initially, we planned to start with terrain editing, but after extensive review, we realized that developing curved walls first and then terrain would be more effective. As a result, terrain development has been pushed to the second half of the year. That said, development for Canvas Town is already underway, and we are conducting R&D to allow both large plots and small cities to be fully editable and shareable among multiple users. Features like stained-glass windows and arched doors can begin development right away. Thank you for these great suggestions.

Family and Social Interactions

You emphasized features such as hand-holding and hugging among family members, childcare (breastfeeding, pushing strollers), school and after-school activities, dating and music apps, and social networks with influence systems.
Starting in January, we are focusing heavily on content for children and babies within families. Compared to adults, babies and children have been lacking, and we discussed this again today. Thanks to the many ideas you’ve shared, we almost don’t need to conduct separate research.

Modding and Community Support

The modding community expressed concerns about increased workload due to changes in the material management system and requested early support for script modding. The importance of mod stability was also emphasized.
In particular, I think I caused additional confusion by failing to clearly communicate this part, and I apologize for that. This week, we will share Part 2, which will cover modding and some of the more challenging development topics we haven’t yet discussed, along with updates on the roadmap and progress.

As I write this, there is now just one hour left in 2025 here in Korea.

There’s a saying in Korea: “Time moves at 20 km/h in your 20s, and at 50 km/h in your 50s.”
It’s a way of saying that time feels faster as you get older—and I really feel that now. In less than an hour, I’ll be a year older.

Let me offer a traditional Korean New Year’s greeting:

새해 복 많이 받으세요.

We’ll have to meet again next year.
Thank you so much for this year. We’ve made it this far thanks to your support.

Thank you sincerely.
Kjun

Thank you. If this means control over the Age Group Length ? And I hope it does… Thank you so much !
I’ve been waiting since June 2025 for this, ever since the change that was done to them then.

Also thank you for SLIM UI OPTION.
Just give us the capability to make it look like the pre-cahaya one, it was perfect, small, sleek, and beautiful.

So will we be able to own and ride the bicyles that are already in the game?

1.Add bicycle rideables

Yayyyy yes

2 posts were split to a new topic: What is the Fate Engine?

If I’m understanding this correctly, does this mean we will be getting presets for facial features? Such as eye shapes, noses, lip shapes etc.

If so, this is wonderful news!

This is one of the areas of CAZ that fell short for me on launch. I was never truly happy with how my Zoi’s would turn out, purely because I couldn’t experiment with different facial features, and only able to edit the features that were a part of the whole face archetype.

When Kjun writes:

And then the only 7 features are:

Isn’t that a bit odd?
I don’t know what’s on your top priorities list, but none of these are in my top 25 (or even top 50).
And I wouldn’t put these in the ‘core experience’ or ‘fundamentals’ category either.
From what I read on discord or here at the forum, I wonder why these 7 got chosen above all others?

So does that mean these 7 features will be the first ones and prioritized over all the other things we desperately wished for and asked for for months?

I think, due to the length of the roadmap + fundamentals list all of it gets a little murky. Judging by these first 7 issues currently in development, I assume they chose these first because they’ve already been worked on before this text release and / or those fixes are easier to do after the holiday downtime.
I’m just really glad we know what to look forward to now. This was long overdue.

I wish they’d chose their priorities wiser though. . .

Reason for listing the 7 things are at the bottom, no idea why it’s not at the top of the paragraph/bullet points:
”What matters most, though, is this: in order to fix the most painful gaps as quickly as possible—so I don’t feel ashamed when talking to you—we’ve already started development on items #1–#7 on the list.”

The whole thing before 2026Q1-Q4 are the priorities!

2 posts were split to a new topic: [28.12.25] New Businesses, Religion System, and School Features

Then it makes even less sense.

The devs collected our wishes and feedback over months and they know very well where inZOI is lacking the most and what we wished for the most, and yet those 7 were chosen over everything else.

Why?

My assumption is that they were simply left without a category, or uncategorized, or “Other”, just a quick formatting adjustment while the list was being edited on the fly. The remaining items are organized into categories below, and I don’t see any prioritization here: all the categories and subcategories up to the “2026 Roadmap” belong to “Fundamentals First” and are unlikely to differ in priority just because they’re not at the top of the list.

For now, I’m as happy with the roadmap as a clam, especially because I literally calculated the results of the spring–summer brainstorms, shared them at the last brainstorm, and Kjun copied them almost word for word. I’ve never been involved in shaping the agenda before especially when I spoke for so many people back then – it’s insane and it’s really awesome.

(I even remember @Samuriko wrote all careers should be active and engaging, especially police job ). – No, no offence intended, it’s just that so many of us wanted the same things that they couldn’t help but end up in the roadmap.

I did. However it’s not as important as having :

• Control over the age groups
• Having households larger than 8 members
• that Classic pre-cahaya UI option
• Being able to save an entire zoi’s wardrobe (without anything pertaining to the zoi itself) in one preset
• Being able to save a complete zoi (including trait, characteristics, preference, life goals, etc)
• Being able to save an entire family (and edit each member’s age numerically and not just stage) and assign a preset icon like those pre-made families.

And give names so that when you mouse over those saved pre-set you see your own comment about it.
Then allow to sort all items by name in CAZ.

Then there’s the texture mix-up atm. all named “Albedo” in folder that means nothing. I have some texture in 5+ copies because different creator use the same textures in their creation and the game does not catch on to it.

Those are very important issues to me. Some short term, other longterm (ie: Textures).
To each their own. It’s good to know that most of my more important items are in it, let’s just hope it’s not another case of “It’s coming december update!” then it’s not and pushed for maybe until march or later. I was NOT happy with that.

But their hard work is appreciated.

This is already possible in v0.5. Right now I’m constantly saving Zois with names, traits and characteristics, life goals, since I keep creating new saves for testing.

—
We all get that anything can happen, it’s just that this got at least as many votes (if not more), basically walls of spam. It’s as if there’s nothing in this list that’s somehow outside the top 10, no, everything in roadmap is insanely popular.

I had not noticed. We still dont have mouse over names tho, I think I checked this early on in 0.5.0 but I havent had much time for gaming since xmas time and all

Honestly, idk… I can’t let myself fall into discouragement, because deep down I realize that I asked for many of this myself, signed up for it, and even initiated much of it. That means I can’t object. It’d be unethical and unfair, or even like shooting myself in the foot. But since the inZOI Team sometimes speaks too far ahead and then delays implementation or sacrifices quality, the only thing I can wish for is: more doing, guys, less promising. The list is already enough to roughly understand the direction, promises that can’t be done right now should just wait until they’re closer to reality.

3 posts were merged into an existing topic: Pregnant Zoi Cannot Give Birth & No Baby Bump

please let us save every outfit from every category when we save the zoi, so we dont have to save each outfit individually and reapply it to the zoi, this is very tiring and clutters up my canvas and 30 private limit storage
