We’re Qloud Games, or better known as the Loftia team - an indie studio that started off with one dream: creating a vibrant but comfy online world for people to enjoy together.

Loftia began in 2022 when Martina and me (Michael), two lifelong gamers and partners, found ourselves doing what a lot of us did during the pandemic - sinking ungodly amounts of hours into games like Stardew Valley, It Takes Two, and Animal Crossing (and me trying to get Martina into oldschool Runescape). While playing them, we realized something simple yet important was missing in gaming for us. There wasn’t a single game that brought that cozy vibe we wanted into a persistent online space shared with friends. So we made it our task to create one.

We started posting some dev snippets here and there online, and it turned out a lot of people wanted the same thing. In 2023, our community helped Kickstart Loftia with 17,000 backers and since then, our team has grown to 35 people focused on making a friendly …

just look at them, they are gorgeous

I’ve got some collections of new Duckies 😊

I am pretty sure Bobcat, Snaphook and Vulcano were already the most coveted and hardest Blueprints for people to find. Why make them even harder to find? Especially when some people can’t even play those events because of your locked event schedule.

As for Queen and Matriarch, most people already don’t feel like doing it because the reward isn’t there. Why make it even worse? The one single lootable part upon destroying the queen isn’t going to suddenly make people want to complete it just because you made the armor parts worse.

Assuming this schedule is correct, then I will never have access to this content, because I work 9-6+, and none of these slots overlap with my young kid’s sleep time. (Well technically 1am does, but that’s my sleep time too.)

It’s just so beautiful to look at. 🥲

They needed to make matriach loot more valuable if they planned to do anything to it. I’ve found it generally impossible to kill the matriach. Not because its a challenging arc, but the second I shoot at it every single team in the lobby seems to b-line it straight to me since my loadouts almost guaranteed more valuable the fighting the matriach for its loot. Or the other side of the coin you get a friendly lobby and the things picked clean before you can even scratch your own ass.

Horrible decision imo, makes the matriach even less worth trying for in my eyes cause those ratty players are even more incetivised to just shove there sticther from a free kit in my face.
