The "cozy game" genre has gained immense popularity in the gaming industry. These games offer wholesome, vibrant, and comforting experiences that are perfect for relaxing after a long day or as a contrast to more intense gaming sessions. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a prime example of a cozy game, allowing players to decorate their homes on a peaceful island inhabited by adorable animal characters. Stardew Valley is another influential title in this genre, offering players the ability to cultivate crops, form relationships with local villagers, and embark on various adventures.
Loftia, developed by Qloud Games, is an enchanting MMO that seamlessly combines the delightful features of both Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. Originally aiming for a Kickstarter goal of $150,000, Loftia has astoundingly surpassed expectations by raising over $800,000. Almost all of the Kickstarter stretch goals have been achieved, leaving only two goals remaining. Upon reaching $900,000, players will have the exciting opportunity to sell their own goods at personalized stalls in the bustling marketplace of Loftia City. Furthermore, if the game manages to reach a million dollars, developers will introduce additional sky islands to the game, including fascinating desert, arctic, and tropical rainforest islands.
To learn more about this charming game, gamers can watch the short trailer available on Qloud Games's Kickstarter page.
