In 2021, Cloudy quit his job at Mojang in order to move to Tokyo, Japan and to fully devote himself to his indie game development and startup efforts. Cloudy Games LLC's Dragon Drop, a couch-multiplayer game currently in development for PC, Mobile, Switch and Xbox, is his first self-published title, and won the CoroCoro Comics award at BitSummit in 2022. He also helped found nextReality Games LLC, which creates games for Roblox. The team's games on the platform are Journey to the Sun, Whale Survival, and Toast your Friends, and have a combined 50,000 monthly active users. Cloudy also has formed a partnership between nextReality and GeekOut K.K. in order to help make the Roblox platform more successful in Japan. To manage the growing liaison work, in 2023 Cloudy established クラウディリアリティ合同会社 (Cloudy Reality G.K.) here in Japan to further facilitate entry into the Japanese market and other collaborations and partnerships in the country.
