Code Modding Must Be Priority #1 for inZOI’s Future

Hello Kjun,
hello inZOI team,

I want to share this feedback clearly, structured, and straight to the point:

Current Situation

  • Code modding currently feels low priority

  • Focus is placed more on content than on system extensibility

  • Many community ideas are technically impossible to realize

Why Code Modding Must Be Top Priority

  • Foundation for long-term player retention

  • Enables true community-driven innovation

  • Allows deep simulation (AI, economy, rules, systems)

  • Improves accessibility & customization

  • Extends the life cycle of the game by years

Risks Without Strong Code Modding

  • Creativity is artificially limited

  • Frustration among highly engaged players

  • Stagnation after the early content phase

  • Full dependence on developer-only content

Opportunities With Strong Code Modding

  • Community extends your vision, not replaces it

  • Safe experimentation without harming the core game

  • Organic evolution over many years

  • Creation of a strong modding ecosystem

Concrete Expectations

  • Code modding as development priority #1

  • Clear and well-documented APIs

  • Secure, sandboxed mod hooks

  • Access to core systems (AI, simulation, economy, rules)

  • A transparent modding roadmap

Personal Note

  • I have many ideas but cannot implement them

  • The frustration comes from seeing huge potential

  • I’m confident I’m not the only one

inZOI has the potential to be something truly special.
That potential will only be realized if the community can help shape it at code level.

Thank you for reading and for keeping this Brainstorm space open.

Kind regards,Grimlock

I understand why script modding isn’t a priority right now and we likely won’t see any progress on that until the game is officially released. So probably not until 2027.
