After the release, the inZOI devs took a short break. This has led some players to believe that we will be running without dev support for a while. However, the devs assured us that the break was only for the weekend (they deserved it), and even revealed their short-term update plans, how they plan to handle various issues that came up, and how it will affect future inZOI updates.
The Devs Plan to Release Frequent Hotfixes for inZOI, as Stated in Their Short-Term Update Plans Announcement
Krafton took a weekend off after their release of inZOI. Naturally, the first weekend after the release is when most of the players are active, and during that period, the players came across various small issues and bugs. And now, on the first day after their weekend off, Kjun from Krafton, the brains behind inZOI, has revealed their short-term plan for fixing those errors and adding stuff to the game. In a Discord announcement, he said:
“As explained in our online showcase, we originally planned content updates for inZOI about once every two months during Early Access.
However, given the spirit of Early Access — completing the game together with you — we intend to quickly apply fixes for reported issues through hotfixes during April.
These short-term updates are smaller in scale compared to major updates, but we expect that rolling out content faster and incorporating feedback more promptly will have a more positive effect on your gameplay experience.
Additionally, whenever we identify critical issues, we plan to keep addressing them through hotfixes. As mentioned, we want to stay true to our words about not taking advantage of the term “Early Access”, and show gratitude to those who purchased the game by continuing to release updates and maintain open communication.”
It is truly great when the devs are so dedicated to their game, and open communication is always beneficial to everyone. The players are already crazy about the game, with new mods popping up every now and then (we came across some viral dances today), so the future is looking bright for inZOI and Krafton.
