A focal point in the development of inZOI is fostering open communication with the player base. KRAFTON has expressed its commitment to integrating player feedback directly into the game's development as it moves closer to its early access launch.
Moreover, KRAFTON disclosed efforts to develop plugins to simplify the process of mod creation, promoting artistic freedom among players. inZOI envisions becoming a creativity hub, where players can exhibit and converse about their in-game masterpieces via the in-game Canvas.
