Hello everyone,
The inZOI team is back from the year-end holidays and excited to resume development. We are focusing on strengthening core foundations under the Fundamentals First approach while preparing new features in parallel.
Weekly development updates are now routine, and we enjoy organizing updates we think players will appreciate. Our goal remains to make inZOI a game where players can project their own lives, laugh, and find comfort. We aim to develop alongside our players.
Thank you,
Kjun
