Due to the success of Ravenwood Fair, several companies were interested in signing a game development and publishing deal with them.[4] RockYou was the first publisher to get to contract.[5] The game that John Romero was developing was titled Cloudforest Expedition.[6] Four months into development, RockYou signed a second development deal with Loot Drop.[7] The studio got funding for Cloudforest Expedition[8] from social game publisher RockYou in 2011.[2] Within a year, Loot Drop had four titles in development with multiple social game publishers.[2] Romero stated that he wanted to focus on game design rather than monetizing players.[2] The studio was stated to have four teams that would grow to 10 or 11 employees each.[1] Studio ClosingThe studio encountered financial trouble in 2012, with the game Ghost Recon Commander being cancelled only five months after launch.[9] This resulted in that development team being laid off.[9] They failed to fund a Kickstarter campaign for an "Old-School RPG".[9] Loot Drop continued developing games until the end of 2015. In its existence, it had developed games for RockYou, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Mogol, and Zynga.[10] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=https://venturebeat.com/2011/03/03/loot-drop-banks-on-talented-game-designers-as-it-takes-on-social-gamings-giants-exclusive/|title=Loot Drop banks on talented game designers as it takes on social gaming’s giants (exclusive)|date=2011-03-03|website=VentureBeat|access-date=2017-07-19}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{Cite news|url=http://www.tomshardware.com/news/john-Romero-Tom-Hall-Loot-Drop-Social-Gaming-Doom,12330.html|title=Loot Drop is John Romero's New Game Studio|date=2011-03-04|work=Tom's Hardware|access-date=2017-07-19|language=en}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=Baribeau|first1=Tami|title=Ravenwood Fair Leads The Pack on This Week's List of Fastest-Growing Facebook Games by MAU|url=http://www.adweek.com/digital/ravenwood-fair-leads-the-pack-on-this-week’s-list-of-fastest-growing-facebook-games-by-mau/|website=ADWEEK|publisher=ADWEEK|accessdate=13 February 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Takahashi|first1=Dean|title=Loot Drop banks on talented game designers as it takes on social gaming's giants (exclusive)|url=https://venturebeat.com/2011/03/03/loot-drop-banks-on-talented-game-designers-as-it-takes-on-social-gamings-giants-exclusive/|website=VentureBeat|publisher=VentureBeat|accessdate=13 February 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web|last1=Romero|first1=John|title=RockYou Signs Game Development Agreement|url=https://www.rockyou.com/rymini/pdf/RockYou_Loot_Drop_Announcement.pdf|website=RockYou|publisher=RockYou|accessdate=13 February 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web|last1=Webster|first1=Andrew|title=John Romero's Loot Drop reveals first social game Cloudforest Expedition|url=https://www.gamezebo.com/2011/04/27/john-romeros-loot-drop-reveals-first-social-game-cloudforest-expedition/|website=GameZebo|publisher=GameZebo|accessdate=13 February 2018}} 7. ^{{cite web|last1=Takahashi|first1=Dean|title=RockYou signs second social game deal with Loot Drop|url=https://venturebeat.com/2011/04/27/rockyou-signs-second-social-game-deal-with-loot-drop/|website=VentureBeat|publisher=VentureBeat|accessdate=13 February 2018}} 8. ^{{cite web|last1=Romero|first1=John|title=Cloudforest Expedition|url=http://rome.ro/cloudforest-expedition/|website=Loot Drop|publisher=RockYou|accessdate=13 February 2018}} 9. ^1 2 {{Cite news|url=https://www.pcgamesn.com/old-school-rpg-developers-ghost-recon-commander-shut-down-loot-drop-staff-laid|title=Old School RPG developers’ Ghost Recon Commander to shut down; Loot Drop staff laid off|work=PCGamesN|access-date=2017-07-19}} 10. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.pcgamer.com/doom-co-creator-john-romero-is-working-on-a-new-shooter/|title=Doom co-creator John Romero is working on a new shooter|work=pcgamer|access-date=2017-07-19|language=en}} External links
