About Qloud Games
Qloud Games is an independent Australian video game developer creating Loftia, a cooperative online life-simulation game designed around cozy social play and solarpunk worldbuilding. The studio develops and publishes its own project, combining sustainable farming, salvaging, crafting, home decoration and community-building activities with exploration and non-combat multiplayer adventures.
The team works as a remote-first, globally distributed development studio, with its corporate headquarters in Australia. Its development practice spans full-cycle game production, publishing, community-led design and live-service operations.
Game development focus
Qloud Games specializes in:
- Massively multiplayer online game development
- Cozy and social life-simulation mechanics
- Eco-conscious, solarpunk thematic worldbuilding
- Unreal Engine 5 engineering and in-engine cinematic capture
- Cloud backend infrastructure and server architecture using infrastructure-as-code practices
For Loftia, the studio has built a world centered on collaborative projects and positive social connection rather than competitive gameplay. Players can take part in activities including farming, crafting, salvaging, decorating personal spaces and contributing to shared community initiatives.
Loftia
Loftia is the studio's debut title and is planned for Early Access on PC and Mac through Steam and the Epic Games Store on November 3, 2026. The game previously held a large Closed Beta in April 2026 and is also planned for Nintendo Switch.
Qloud Games supports the project with proprietary game-capture and cinematic-trailer production alongside its game-development pipeline. Its approach connects technical production with community feedback, aiming to evolve the multiplayer experience through ongoing player participation.
