We’re Qloud Games, an Australian-based indie studio with remote team members hailing from around the world. We’re developing Loftia, and our growing studio is scaling up and now looking for an Art Director with a strong 3D art background to lead our art team.
Loftia is a cozy take on the MMO genre, where players farm, build, and contribute to the growth of a sustainable, solarpunk world. The game mixes the chill, relaxing atmosphere of existing titles such as Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, with the social aspects of a massively multiplayer game. Our vision is to provide a space where players can discover a sense of belonging, work together with others in the community to build and grow a sustainable world, and inspire hope for the future.
If you’re excited by the prospect of building shared worlds loved by massive audiences, and creating a charming and aesthetic cozy world that warms the hearts of its players, then we would absolutely love to hear from you!
