The cosy MMO "Loftia" is a literal labour of love. This couple quit their jobs to make their dream game and it's set to launch in a few days!
THE TEAM BEHIND LOFTIA
In 2022 Michael Su and Martina Qin left their careers to pursue their dream: make a cosy MMO that focuses on sustainability. Michael had previously worked as a software engineer at Canva, but having built gaming communities from the age of 13 years old, it seemed only natural he would make his own mark on the gaming world. Loftia's Co-founder and Creative Director Martina Qin already had a lot of finance, commerce and marketing experience under her belt which would help boost the game's momentum once they announced it on social media.
They felt like something was missing in the online multiplayer sphere: cosy gaming. They wanted to create something like a third space you could return to after work, where you could relax and spend time with others.
WHAT IS LOFTIA?
Loftia seems to be the perfect blend between Dreamlight Valley, Animal Crossing and Palia. If you enjoy cosy gaming, farming, decorating, crafting but also meeting new people or hanging out with those you already know, this might just be the game for you. At launch players will not have access to every planned feature just yet, but additional decorative items and other content featured on the roadmap are planned for the future.
