A Hopeful Harvest

Hello everyone. Somehow, another week has flown by. Once again, I’d like to share some updates on what the inZOI team has been working on. We’ve had a lot going on this week.

Hello everyone. Somehow, another week has flown by.

changedRecently, we’ve been putting a lot of effort into improving the baby system. Previously, babies and adults used completely different systems, which resulted in many functional issues and also limited how richly babies could be represented. This time, we’ve integrated the baby system into the same underlying structure used for adults.
changedWe’ve also made improvements to genetics and family photos, although there were limitations to how much we could improve the genetics system. There is a fundamental issue behind this: the base facial data for male and female Zois is different. We are currently considering whether we should unify this underlying data so that inherited facial traits can be passed down consistently regardless of gender.
changedWe’ve also improved vehicle behavior so that when Zois travel by car, they can continue driving all the way home. In addition, we’ve further enhanced the system that automatically changes Zois into outfits appropriate for the location they are visiting.
changedEven so, the seasons are slowly changing, and the crops in the fields are surely beginning to bear fruit. I hope inZOI, too, can make it through this summer in good health and continue growing into something even better.

Once again, I’d like to share some updates on what the inZOI team has been working on. We’ve had a lot going on this week. In particular, we’ve been spending a great deal of time revisiting some of the systems we developed last year that were still somewhat rough or incomplete, and improving them one by one so they work as intended.

Now, as babies grow, if there is a small child’s bed available, they will move to it on their own and go to sleep. Once your child starts walking, please make sure to provide them with a bed of their own. This will allow them to sleep longer and more comfortably.

There are still so many things on our improvement list this month that I’m a little concerned we may not be able to deliver the update as quickly as we would like. Once the update date has been decided, I’ll make sure to let you know in advance.

Today in Korea marks Ipchu (입추), the traditional beginning of autumn in 2026. It is supposed to signal that summer is passing and autumn is beginning, but we are still experiencing heat that feels very much like the middle of summer.

Even so, the seasons are slowly changing, and the crops in the fields are surely beginning to bear fruit. I hope inZOI, too, can make it through this summer in good health and continue growing into something even better.

See you again next week.
