South Korea in this age is a country which is becoming a software powerhouse. In the realm of video games, this is becoming more apparent and is clearly showing some ability in challenging America in these genres. This is one of the most interesting countries when it comes to the making video games and computers. Inzoi is just one of the examples of how South Korea is punching above its weight.
inZoi is a game that seeks to replicate the magic of the Sims.
Maxis and Electronic Arts have been milking the series for all its worth but is clear that they have run out of energy to continue it. They have basically been milking it and releasing expansions that are basically taking people’s money at this point. Instead of having expansions that are worth the money, they are just extending the game’s presence on the market while not allowing innovation. It is because of this stagnation that many fans in the Sims community are starting to take a look at inZoi.
InZoi in many ways represents the Korean ethics that dominates the peninsula, regardless of whether it be North or South. The North is generally speaking in its own island of ethics, but the traditionalism is still strong in both countries. The game has a karma system which represents the ethical choices that the Inzois make in the game.
This game repersents a natural evolution of the Sims. Unlike the Sims, it is less about being a dollhouse simulation and more akin to a simulation aiming to be realistic.
It is only in early access, but it will interesting to see how it changes the genre and makes it interesting to gamers.
