- On to Another Update - 18 September 2026
Hello everyone, and happy Friday.Autumn has already arrived here in Korea. The weather is becoming cooler, and the skies are beginning to feel higher and clearer. Today, I’m writing once again to share some materials prepared by the inZOI development team.Recently, the areas the inZOI development team has been focusing on the most are autonomy and conversations. As I mentioned before, we are working to make Zois behave in more natural and human-like ways. Personally, one of my biggest regrets from the September update was that we were unable to include the autonomy editing features we had been working on. As I previously explained through our posts and materials, when Zois enter a business, we want customers to have their own places while employees use chairs and tools intended specifically for staff.We are improving the conversation system in the same direction. Conversations are also…

- Open Catalog (Updated) - 4 September 2026
Hi everyone,Hard to believe it's Friday already.How's the update treating you so far?Island Getaway was one of those DLCs where, ever since we first released it last year, there were things we'd wanted to include but never quite got to — and they stayed on my mind. This time around we spent a long time on it, trying to fill in as much of that as we could. It's a little late in the season, but I hope you're getting a nice vacation in inZOI at least Today I'd like to walk you through what we're preparing for October in a bit more detail.Lot Autonomous Behavior Editing (Build Mode)First, we're providing presets for editing the interactions Zois use at restaurant businesses. That said, presets alone mean everyone's shop ends up looking pretty similar. So we're building an editing feature into Build Mode that lets you define your own usable objects and behavior scenarios. Essentially, "when…

- The Week Before the Update (Updated) - 28 August 2026
Hello everyone. It’s been another whirlwind of a Friday.This week, we finally wrapped up the build, which means I can now share the update schedule with you. I’m always sorry to keep you waiting like this.The update is scheduled for September 3rd (Thu) at 6:00 AM UTC.Looking back over the past two months, we’ve been working at a relentless pace. And yet, now that it’s time to show you the results, I still find myself focusing on all the things that could have been better. But when you open the patch notes, I think you’ll be surprised by just how many areas we’ve worked on and improved. I may not be perfect, but I hope you know that I’m always giving this my very best.This time in particular, we put a tremendous amount of effort into improving the fundamental systems that form the foundation of the game. We’ve refined autonomous behavior so that Zois act in ways that better fit the conte…
- Sticks and Stones (Updated) - 21 August 2026
Hello everyone. Another happy Friday is here.As we prepare for this update, we’ve been going back through many of the game’s fundamental features one by one and making improvements. And the further we get into this work, the more we find ourselves reflecting on where we could have done better as a development team.Because we had been so focused on continuously adding new content, some features that previously worked well gradually became broken or began conflicting with one another through subsequent updates. For example, Zois who once followed their routines naturally might no longer go to sleep at the appropriate time, or might repeatedly perform unrelated actions instead of the ones they actually need to do. We’ve also seen unusual behavior in how family members interact with one another and in their everyday routines. Each issue may seem small on its own, but when they accumulate, t…
- Focusing on the Little Things (Updated) - 14 August 2026
Hello everyone, it’s great to see you again. I hope you’ve all had a good week.First, I have some slightly disappointing news to share. The August update has been delayed a little, and we are now planning to release it in early September. I’m sorry that we couldn’t bring it to you sooner. I’ll keep running as hard as I can to deliver it to all of you.For this update, rather than adding new content, we’ve been focusing on making the fundamental aspects of everyday life and behavior in inZOI feel more natural. While this won’t be a particularly large update, a lot of development work has gone into strengthening the foundations of our life simulation systems for the future.Today, I’d like to introduce one of those systems and hear what you think about it.Previously, when a Zoi visited somewhere like a burger restaurant, they would remain there for a set amount of time. However, instead of…
- A Hopeful Harvest (Updated) - 7 August 2026
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. 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.Recently, 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.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…

- Making Things Better (Updated) - 31 July 2026
Hello everyone!I hope you're having a fantastic Friday.It's great to see you all again.This week, I've continued focusing on improving autonomous behavior.Our main goal this week has been to make it much clearer why a Zoi visits a particular location.Until now, even when Zois visited places like cafés or bakeries, they often spent most of their time wandering around, chatting with others, checking their phones, or using the restroom instead of actually accomplishing the purpose of their visit. While these behaviors help make them feel more lifelike, they occurred so frequently that many players felt it became difficult to tell what they had come there to do.To address this, we're changing the system so that Zois will prioritize fulfilling the purpose of their visit. For example, if a Zoi visits a bakery, they'll purchase bread, go through the necessary steps, sit down to eat it, and the…

- Bringing More Life to inZOI (Updated) - 24 July 2026
Hello everyone, and happy Friday!As always, we're sharing a video showcasing what the inZOI team has been working on this week.Lately, the team has been approaching development with a fresh mindset by going back to the fundamentals. We've been carefully reviewing every part of the game and improving it piece by piece. The more closely we look, the more areas we find that should have been better from the beginning, and that leaves us feeling truly sorry.Even so, I believe that as long as we have a clear goal and continue moving toward it, we may stumble, but we won't stop moving forward.Recently, I've been focusing on redesigning our autonomy system. For this update, I wanted to revisit it from the ground up rather than making small adjustments, so I've been rebuilding much of its decision-making logic.For example, when a ZOI wants to sit down and eat, the game now searches for the most…
