Any passion, no matter how good it is, begins to fade over time. The creator of this year’s phenomenon, the game inZOI, Hyunjun Kim, was absolutely sure of this. The South Korean developer said in an interview with Game File that he was simply tired of them after a quarter of a century of working on online games.
I have 24 years of game development experience, the longest of which was working on MMORPGs,” Kim explained.
Interestingly, at that time the developer still did not have a clear plan. The turning point was a conversation between Kim and his son, when Kim began to wonder why The Sims didn’t have a worthy competitor all these years.
This is how the idea was born in Hyunjun Kim’s head to create inZOI – a life simulator, which, even after its announcement, raised an unprecedented interest among fans of the genre. The upcoming competitor of The Sims has surprised the community with its character editor, beautiful graphics, exciting gameplay and features that have never been seen before in games of this type. One of them is 3D printing technology, which allows players to transfer real objects from photos to inZOII.
InZOI will be released on PC and PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. The release date of the game has not been announced yet. It is worth noting that the character editor was recently tested and received very good reviews.
