lea_hazelLoftia looks cool. It's currently in closed beta for the next two weeks or so, which I have neither the time nor the mental space for, but I'm keeping an open eye.
It's billed as a cozy MMO, so something in the same genre as Palia, which I've been playing and loving for about a year. The difference is, although Palia has some sustainability themes in the main quest, Loftia's genre is pretty explicitly solarpunk. From the early gameplay that I've seen streamers do, it's not quite gunky enough to suit my preference for solarpunk, but it's also not fully shiny/fixed/idealized, IYKWIM. There's a salvage skill, for example, where you can collect bits of plastic and stuff from discarded junk.
Plus, the setting is a bunch of flying islands, which is just awesome. No purple elves, though. No elves of any color, as far as I can see.
