Official Fact Check
Account & Save Route Matrix
| If you want… | Best route | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Claim Kickstarter backer cosmetics | BackerKit survey + official redemption flow | Betabara and tier rewards ship through backer channels — steps beta est.* until EA. |
| Keep Closed Beta island progress | Wait for official save-transfer FAQ | Qloud Games has not confirmed carry-over — do not grind assuming persistence. |
| Link Beta account to Steam EA | No public merge tool yet* | Account linking expectations are beta est.* — watch loftia.gg and Discord. |
| Play at launch without backer history | Wishlist + Steam EA purchase | Kickstarter is closed — new players buy on Steam like any EA title. |
Account Types — What Each One Does
Sources: loftia.gg beta FAQ, BackerKit updates, Steam EA listing. Rows marked * are beta est.
| Account / identity | Primary purpose | Beta access role | EA note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kickstarter / BackerKit backer | Crowdfunding pledge, Devlog updates, backer reward fulfillment | Historical alpha/beta waves via backer channels | EA is a separate Steam purchase — not your KS pledge login* |
| Closed Beta playtester | Apr–May 2026 playtest progress (islands, inventory, quests) | Discord / waitlist invite keys | Progress carry-over rules not finalized — beta est.* |
| Steam EA purchaser (Fall 2026) | Buy-to-play Early Access on App ID 2320980 | N/A — post-beta public milestone | Expected primary live-service account at launch* |
| loftia.gg waitlist | Future playtest alerts — not a game login | Email for invite waves only | Does not replace Steam or BackerKit accounts* |
Why Players Ask About Account Merge
Loftia's pre-EA journey split across Kickstarter backers, Discord playtest keys, and the upcoming Steam Early Accesspurchase. Many players hold more than one identity — a BackerKit email for rewards and a separate beta login for Apr–May 2026 progress. Search interest for “account merge” and “save transfer” reflects that confusion, not an announced merge feature.
Beta Save Transfer — What We Know
The Closed Beta ended May 6, 2026. Official messaging consistently says save transfer rules are not finalized and will be announced closer to Fall 2026 EA. Do not assume islands, inventories, friendship levels, or quest states persist — beta was positioned as a preview, not a permanent progression branch.
Read the Beta feature scope table for what was testable versus post-beta targets. Even if partial cosmetics carry (Betabara), full world progress may still reset.
Kickstarter & BackerKit Rewards
Loftia raised $300K+ on Kickstarter; fulfillment and transparency updates continue on BackerKit. Backer benefits included alpha/beta access windows and exclusive rewards such as the Betabara capybara skin.
Early Access is not your Kickstarter pledge. Fall 2026 EA is a buy-to-play Steam transaction (App ID 2320980). Backer cosmetics typically redeem through a separate official flow at or after EA — watch BackerKit Devlogs rather than assuming automatic linkage to your beta character.
Account Linking Expectations (beta est.*)
- Steam EA login — Likely the primary live account at launch; details beta est.*
- BackerKit email — Reward fulfillment and surveys; may require linking to Steam at redemption*
- Beta playtest account — May or may not map to EA — no public merge UI yet*
- loftia.gg waitlist — Marketing/playtest alerts only; not a game credential
Follow official channels listed on the Events hub for the first authoritative account FAQ — Discord announcements typically precede fan wiki updates.
What to Do Now
- Save your BackerKit login and beta key email — you may need both at EA redemption.
- Do not over-invest in beta progression until save transfer is confirmed.
- Read Kickstarter history for backer tier context vs new Steam buyers.
- Wishlist on Steam so EA purchase and any account-link prompts happen on launch day.
