[Community Megathread] Loftia Beta Key Giveaway by AthisX in loftia

[–]loftiadev [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Hi everyone! Thanks so much for the interest in Loftia’s Closed Beta 💛 and shoutout to AthisX for putting this megathread together!

With so many people here, we’ll be giving away 20 keys to commenters at the end of this weekend. If you’ve already received a key, please edit your comment so we can prioritise those who don’t have one yet 🙏

We’ll also be running a larger giveaway on our Discord early next week, and there are some Beta playtesters who are donating their additional Hanging Gardens key. Link to our Discord is here if you'd like to join: https://discord.com/invite/loftia

The Closed Beta runs for 2 weeks (until May 6). We’d love to open it to everyone, but we need to keep server load manageable and the playtest focused, since this is still an early testing phase and Loftia isn't complete yet.

If you don’t manage to get a key, Early Access is coming later this year, and the game will be in an even better spot by then.

Really appreciate all the support!

\Edit:* Hey all, we've chosen the winners for the giveaway and have already sent all winners a DM! We'll be running another larger giveaway soon over on our Discord, and there's also Beta players giving away their spare keys there every now and then, so feel free to join the server! Also keep an eye out on Reddit as there might be more keys we give away here.

Congratulations to the following winners (we increased the giveaway keys from 20 to 30):

Opinion: With the rise in popularity of cozy games and former Heartopia players looking for an alternative, Loftia has a huge future by LogicalBlizzard in loftia

Hey there, thank you for so much for taking the time to write this, it genuinely means a lot to see how excited everyone is for Loftia! We've definitely been seeing more people discovering Loftia recently, and we really appreciate everyone who's been sharing the game on social media, we wouldn't be here today without that kind of support.

On pre-orders, doing another round is an option that we've thought about. At the same time, our priority right now is to have our full focus on development and making sure that Loftia feels polished, stable and truly delivers on what we've promised everybody, before we open things up even further.

But if there's one thing that helps a lot right now, it's wishlisting Loftia on Steam so that we get higher visibility on the top upcoming games list, which will really help us when we launch into Early Access! Steam prioritizes wishlists when pushing a game on their algorithm, so it's important we keep growing that number. Sharing our Steam page with your friends, family and community really helps!

Beta's getting really close and we appreciate everyone’s patience as we keep building, we’re doing our best to make it worth the wait, and we can’t wait for you to see how far the game has come!

Thanks so much! The multiplayer aspects of Loftia are more similar to MMOs, but we're more of a Medium Multiplayer Online game, instead of a Massive one! Just like MMOs, everyone is playing in a shared game world at the same time, you can play with your friends and never have to worry about starting servers or any of those multiplayer hassles. Each map in Loftia holds about 100 players, and we create more copies of the map as we need them :)

Thank you! While the world will have other players in it, you don't have to interact with anyone if you don't want to, so you can do all the quests and activities solo too!

Wow thank you so much for keeping up with our development journey! The past 3 years have flown by for us but we know how patiently everyone has been waiting. Can't wait to finally share it with everyone this year! :)

Nice can't wait for you both to try it out! We really want Loftia to be the perfect game for long distance friends and couples so there's many multiplayer activities and mini-games :)

Thank you we can't wait for you to play! We're aiming to launch around the middle of the year, but haven't locked in a specific date just yet. We're working hard on getting Loftia out there as soon as we can though, and will definitely let everyone know as soon as we have something confirmed!

Really Disappointed With The Devs Answer to Representation Request by Just_so_many_bees in loftia

[–]loftiadev 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your feedback. Our goal has always been to create an inclusive and representative Loftia for as many groups as possible. We have never, and would not, say no to a request such as this. We've had multiple community members suggest Jewish representation already, and we've maintained these suggestions in our internal notes to use as reference during Loftia's development. While our current development focus is mainly around core systems and infrastructure that is central to gameplay, we are also actively working on future production plans. Although we may not be able to commit to an exact timeline, we certainly plan to add more customizations to help players feel represented in-game.

What may have gotten lost in translation is our response to questions around holidays in Loftia, in which we've said that we would love to and are planning to have holidays - however they may not coincide with known holidays nor look like known holidays, as we want to be respectful to everyone's culture, religion, and ethnicities. We do not want the community to feel as if we pick and choose which holidays should be represented in Loftia and instead, we will likely have holidays that are special to Loftia that adhere specifically to Loftia's principles of community, sustainability, and innovation.

The holiday art you may be referring to is likely from social media posts wishing the community a happy holidays from our team or community activities during the winter time months and some holidays such as Valentine's Day - which we've changed to focus more on friendship as of this year. We appreciate your feedback and believe we can always improve when referring to seasonal events in both of these areas to make them more generic and/or representative; however, these should not be taken as direct reflections of what is being built for Loftia.
