We’re Qloud Games, an Australian-based indie studio with team members hailing from around the globe. We’re developing Loftia and looking for a Marketing & Cinematics Artist to play a key role in showing millions of players their first look at the world of Loftia! This role will start as a short-term contract (3 months) with potential for extension / something more permanent down the line.

Loftia blends the creative and cozy elements of beloved titles like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley, with the vastly social and online nature of MMOs. It’s our vision to provide a space for players to find their sense of belonging, and work together with the community to work toward a brighter and more hopeful future.

For more information about the project, please check out our successful Kickstarter campaign and our Steam page.

Qloud Games is an inclusive space that values diverse perspectives and lived experiences. We strongly encourage applications from all backgrounds, people living with a disability, those identifying as LGBTQIA+, and people from culturally diverse communities!
