Dear developers, where are the updates?

[FearSoul]

Dear developers. Why don't you update the game with micro-updates? It's just that at the moment the game is as boring as possible, and with bugs. Or should players only wait every 2 months? I would be pleased to see how the game is updated at least every 2 days and fixes and improvements are made to it, at least in small points.

Don't be so impatient. You sound like my kids on the the backseat.
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Are we there yet?"
It will happen in may. Just wait, please.

I understand. They talked about fairly large updates every 2 months, respectively, the first of them will be in May. But I'm talking about micro-updates and bug fixes in the game. For example, fixing traffic jams, fps drawdowns when knocking down cars, fixing the system of interaction with zoi, because at this stage it is even impossible to talk to them normally, they just leave without really finishing the conversation, and you have to run after them. I don't think you need to wait for big updates to do this.

For me the most urgent update is doing something with AI and social interactions, too easy to get married but on the other side the social interactions are none existent if you don't engage, they send you text messages, but you can't call, and can't meet anyone from the earlier known people if they aren't from the same city.
This requires a major patch probably...

Another thing is hunger balance, this should be fixed easily, i like how they listened to people and added disable option for aging, but why they just don't extend to like 100 days for example?

I wouldn't get worried so much, the game has huge potential acknowledged by people who bought this and devs, the reactions showed this.
But if you play for longer then 5 hours you see there is a lot to be done.
At first it looks like it's more polished then Sims, and in some cases it is, but then you have a load of problems sitting underneath a shell of a good product.

Yes, I agree with you, I've been playing for 30+ hours and there are also moments in the game that are worth thinking about. I will keep silent about the price imbalance. By the way, if it's too easy for you to set up a relationship, then there is an option in the city settings to complicate the relationship. Your relationship will take longer to develop. I really miss sharing relationships, games, and conversations, even when they're sitting at a meal, they can't talk. And in fact, there's nothing to do in the game except wait for updates. =(

there's been 3 updates since march 30th. Pipe down already.... and answering some "yes but ..." comment to everyone telling you to be patient won't change jack. it's an Early access and the dev IS updating the game has fast as they can. either you take note and never buy an unfinished game again or you make yourself a good cup of coffee (or tea) while they brew the next update.

Well, you need to tell others what to do and what to buy. I played various early Access games and there was a lot to do in them. Things are not as fun at inZoi as we would like. At first glance, it's wow, wow, breakthrough, etc. but when you start playing it for longer, you realize that there's emptiness everywhere. There are a lot of objects that cannot be interacted with, bugs in game mode and construction mode. I just thought why don't the developers release small updates more often. What do I have to answer to every human rights defender of the game? It stands as a full-fledged game, but in fact, "be patient and wait," yes, I don't mind waiting, there's just nothing to do in the game right now. The game is purchased, but you can't play it.

What you are proposing does not seem to me to be the best approach to improving a game in early access. I would even say it's the best way to sabotage a project.

I mean, if you have a roadmap for fixing bugs and adding or extending mechanics, I don't know how introducing continuous small changes at short intervals of time can help when it's obvious that those quick fixes may be introducing new bugs or incompatibilities when the big update is included or before applying it.

I think that this way of acting and planning the development of the game is typical of western companies (hence the amount of bugs at the launch of the games) while in the Far East they are usually more exaustive and the games usually come out without bugs or with such a minimal amount that makes western developers blush with shame.

Maybe. There are still a lot of bugs, so I still don't understand what "high quality" you're talking about. I was pleased to see that fixes and micro-updates appeared after the release of early access. And now there is a lull. In general, it will take a very long time. I'm going to install TS3 because inZoi whetted my appetite but couldn't satisfy it=).

micro manage much? it takes time to bug hunt and add features.

For 40 buckeroos.......
But you can clearly see that the majority of this sub is totally cool with spending money for half baked products.
Your daily fanboy/fangirl BS of people who haven't played anything else in their lifes than smartphone games and maybe Sims tops

On full release it will probably cost double than it does now. Keep that in mind.

Sure. It's a long and time-consuming process. But, you can fix small steps. For example, so that the NPCs don't run away as soon as they say the last word, it would make the gameplay much more comfortable. In this case, the studio does not need to have a month to fix the AI of the NPC. After all, this is not an indie developer with a team of 2 people. I'm just trying to convey the idea of making the gameplay at least minimally more comfortable at the moment, while a larger update is being released with what they planned in May.

What a giant pile of BS.
Where did you get this info from?
Any official source or just your gut feeling?
Besides that, how does this justify the 40 dollar price tag for a game which doesn't even offer 20 dollar content?

If you really believe they would release this game for 80 bucks, you also believe in santa clause.

edit: Oops, this user doesn't even own the game :D
Smart move though.
