There is no need to rush
The core idea of ​​Loftia is to slow down and enjoy time with friends. As you complete quests and community projects, the world will grow and change over time. So there’s no rush to complete NPC tasks, scale the entire map, or grow the most profitable crops before the weather changes. You can explore the floating islands at your own pace.
New way of farming
Typical farming games follow a cycle of tilling the soil, sowing seeds, watering them, and harvesting. Loftia is a bit different. Here, you’ll learn techniques like hydroponics and trellis farming, and there’s even the option to generate renewable energy from varying weather conditions. This is what gives it the “solarpunk” tag, meaning a future where technology and nature go hand in hand.

Pet companions will also be available (not in the demo)
How can a cozy game be without pets? According to the article, later on, you’ll be able to rescue and make companions of animals like dogs, cats, birds, capybaras, and turtles, and even dress them up. Note that this feature isn’t available in the demo, so you’ll have to wait for Early Access.
