IL Game Director Hyungjun “Kjun” Kim Emphasizing that Canvastown should be considered a completely optional experience, noting that its development will not take resources away from the main game. “We want to make sure your expectations are well managed,” he explained, clarifying that some features circulating the web, such as the ability to build entire cities from scratch or draw roads, are not yet available. In the future, however, the team plans to expand the tools for decorating cities and modifying their terrain.
Kjun said the name Canvastown represents “the idea that you and I live together in a village of creators.” The experience begins with creating a personalized zoo and its home. Subsequently, it will be possible to reach a central area called AR Company, where, by mutual consent, approximately 50 players will be able to talk and interact in the same channel. they will also be there Characters controlled by artificial intelligencebut the main goal won’t be to complete a task or achieve a specific goal: “a world where you can live with other people.”

The setting is reminiscent of social experiences like Second Life or the old PlayStation Home. Canvastown also lets you take part in user-created mini-games: like go-kart races and obstacle courses.
In fact, one core element is user creativity. “As the name suggests, we want to provide Canvastown with a space where creators can use not only our native tools, but also the vast possibilities offered by mods to create entirely new experiences and share them with other creators,” Kjun explains.
However, development is still in its preliminary stages. Kjun himself admits that “looking at the current version makes me sigh,” highlighting the many gaps that still need to be filled. Player reaction to the first demo will also help determine the future of the project: “It may go well, it may have a lot of shortcomings, but I think it’s a necessary process to get to the next stage.”
