A brand-new MMO game called Loftia that’s reminiscent of both Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley is now fully funded on Kickstarter. Not only is the game fully funded, but the total amount of money made so far almost surpasses the pledged goal by ten times.
One of the most popular new genres in the gaming world is the "cozy game.” Cozy games are known for being wholesome, colorful, and comforting experiences that can be played while winding down for the day or after playing a more intense game. One of the biggest games in this genre is Animal Crossing: New Horizons, a game featuring cute animal characters that lets the player decorate their homes on a secluded island. Another major influential game in the cozy genre is Stardew Valley, where players can harvest crops, befriend the local townspeople, and go on different types of adventures.
Loftia is a cozy game created by Qloud Games that manages to combine both Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley into one cute, adventurous MMO. The Kickstarter goal for Loftia was originally $150,000 but has now managed to make over $800,000. The game has managed to reach almost all of its Kickstarter stretch goals as well, with only two left to go. If the game hits $900,000, the developers will let players sell goods with their own stalls at the marketplace in Loftia City. If the game hits a million dollars, the developers will add more sky islands in the game, including desert, arctic, and tropical rainforest islands.
Gamers who wish to learn more about this cozy game can watch the short trailer on Qloud Games’s Kickstarter page. In the trailer, a young kid is seen approaching a technologically advanced town in awe. He’s greeted by an adorable-looking mouse character who offers to give him a tour. The trailer then showcases the kid helping some townspeople, growing plants, and having a meal with friends. At the end of the trailer, players will be able to customize their characters and homes like in Animal Crossing, as well as go on different types of adventures, like Stardew Valley.
The cozy game community seems to be very excited with over 800 comments left on the Kickstarter page. Some comments mention how similar the game looks and feels like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, while other comments thank the developers for putting this cozy game on the Nintendo Switch. For fans of these types of games, Loftia seems to be one to keep an eye on.
Loftia is currently in development for PC, Mac and Nintendo Switch
