Yet another life simulation game in the works. Take a look.Krafton is a South Korean video game publisher behind popular games such as PUBG and Subnautica. They engaged with several Sims content creators to get exclusive access to their new game, inZOI, which has only been in development for 1 year (!!).What do you think? I was immediately struck by the realism of the graphics. Very different from the stylized Sims art. The world is gorgeous.FAQsWhen will the game come out?The development team is working towards a release date of 'late 2024'What engine was used to build the game?Unreal Engine 5What platforms will the game be on?It will initially be released on PC and is later expected to be on consoles like the PS5 and XboxHow much will the game cost? Will there be expansion packs?The monetization model is currently undecided, including the plan for expansion packs and DLCsWill the game be multiplayer?*They are currently working on various multiplayer features, such as the ability to meet up with other online players or invite them over to your home*the game is still in development so all answers are subject to change!IGN Gameplay Video

The inZOI Character Studio which will allow you to create your own characters will be available on Steam from August 21st at 4:00 AM to August 26th at 4:00 AM (UTC), your creations will be saved on their 'Canvas' so you can use them when the full game is officially released.

The active firefighting career shown in the second video (21:05) blew me away! The tasks, the environment, and the coworkers all come together to make it feel alive. What Sims 3 ambitions could be in 2023!

Enough life stages for you?https://x.com/acottonsock/status/1825275867154596017

My attempt to recreate Jill, the first sim I made in The Sims 4.

That was my favorite part the Sims has got way too childish I miss the drama and fights of Sims 2 that happened naturally with game play.

This game actually looks pretty good though at this time not for me. Hopefully they make an American style world and one that is not just a city but has neighborhoods outside of it. Also the clothing selection is very Korean centric and face templates need more variety even when they changed the skintone in that last video the character looked Korean there needs to be more template options especially since there seems to be no sliders I imagine with limited face options your town going to quickly have duplicates walking around.

This will be a game to watch for sure though I'm not sold yet crazy they did all of this in a year.

Agreed. Although all of the reviewers desired more conflict and challenge - they said with core features such as the relationship system, it was way too easy to become friends and marry in a day, or become mortal enemies, without any pushback or acknowledgment of the ZOI's traits.

I'm concerned about inZOI, as with Project Rene, becoming a "movie-making tool" in which you can play director. This is not what I enjoy about life simulation games and is a major criticism I have of TS4.

I thought I saw a sort of push pull/drag option on the characters in the creator or was that just sliders?

Cause I'm pretty sure that EA pattened the push/pull function, which is why Paralives had to re-do their CAP process. Will be interesting to see what happens.

I don't think you can Patton a function?

This looks like a direction of what I wanted project Rene and The Sims to go for.

More realism, more detail, making use of what other games are doing and not leaving anything up to the imagination with lazy rabbit holes.

The Korean style which look similar to what you can see in other Korean games is a huge plus for me because I think that art style is gorgeous, they might look almost "too" perfect which can come across as a bit stiff and them lacking personality but I would rather have this than the lack of detail that our sims have in the sims4. Clothes and hair looks so much better with high resolution textures than the poor quality textures that we get in the sims4.

The lightning and details of the environment which makes everything look much more real and modern really appeals to me too.
