The early access version will also include a customizing feature that allows over 250 detailed option adjustments. Additionally, various AI-powered creativity tools will be provided, such as a 3D printer, video-to-motion (transforming movements from personal videos to game character movements), and text-to-image (converting text into images).
Moreover, the game encompasses various creation systems, including costume and furniture creation, accessory customization, facial capture, motion capture, a photo studio, city editing, and an event system.
It will also support features for enhanced gameplay, such as crowd control and a sales system, with plans to add modding and new cities in the future.
Upcoming content will include freelance jobs, ghost play, a cat island called "Kucingku" inspired by Southeast Asia, swimming pools and swimming, family trees, and new professions, all to be revealed sequentially according to the development roadmap.
