Qloud Games raises $5M to build its cozy solarpunk MMO, Loftia

Qloud Games announced today that it has raised $5 million in its seed funding round, which it plans to use to build its cozy MMO, Loftia. This follows its successful Kickstarter, where he raised $1.3 million last year while also putting together a community of 600,000 players across social media. Bitkraft Ventures and GFR Fund led the round, with Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), 1UP Fund and Gaingels participating.

Loftia is set in a solarpunk world where players work together to build communal, eco-friendly spaces; farming, foraging and crafting to build new sustainable tech. Qloud’s founders, Michael Su, Martina Qin and Eric Mallon, tout the game’s relaxed, combat-free feel. The game’s cozier features are oriented towards social projects, with players working together to build a better world, both within the game and in the real world.
