Inzoi’s getting multiplayer after South Korea’s president told the director to hop to it: ‘It almost felt like I was getting talked to by the company’s CEO’

Krafton's life simulation game, Inzoi, was released in early access in March and has struggled to attract a wider audience. Director Hyungjun 'Kjun' Kim announced that the development team is working on integrating multiplayer functionality, inspired by a visit from South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, who provided insights that influenced the decision. While details on the multiplayer feature are not yet available, reactions from the fanbase are mixed, with many players expressing concerns about existing issues in the game that they believe should be prioritized over new features. The potential for multiplayer support could differentiate Inzoi from competitors, as its main rival does not offer co-op gameplay without mods.

The creator of X-Com isn’t worried about old fans not vibing with his new game: ‘It’s successful for people who have maybe not played any strategy at all’

Julian Gollop is developing a new co-op game titled Chip 'N Clawz vs The Brainoids, which marks a departure from his traditional turn-based tactical games like X-Com. He aims to attract a broader audience, particularly newcomers to strategy games, while acknowledging that traditionalists may not find it appealing. Gollop believes there are strategic elements in the game that will still interest strategy fans, but he emphasizes its accessibility and simplicity in controls and mechanics. The game draws inspiration from his earlier works, including Advance Wars and Magic & Mayhem, reflecting his diverse design philosophy.
