"Fahmi, the creator and writer of the acclaimed indie visual novel game Coffee Talk, has passed away.

Fahmi’s sister as well as the official Coffee Talk Twitter account broke the sad news of the Indonesian developer’s sudden passing yesterday. Fahmi, whose full name was Mohammad Fahmi, was 32 years old. No cause of death has been given. At the time of his passing, Fahmi was working on the upcoming slice-of-life adventure game, Afterlove EP.

 

According to IGN, Fahmi was born in 1990 and began his career at Gameloft as a programmer and designer. He joined Tangerang-based Toge Productions as a marketing and PR manager where he wrote and developed Coffee Talk, which released in 2020. The game became a critical hit and has since become Toge Productions most successful title; a sequel is currently in the works. Prior to working at Toge Productions, Fahmi was also the former Editor-in-Chief of the Games Department for the Jakarta technology outlet Tech in Asia. Following Coffee Talk’s success, Fahmi went on to open his own studio, Pikslenesia, where he created the side-scrolling narrative adventure game What Comes After. 

 

Fahmi was a supremely talented creator and his passing is a major blow to the Southeast Asian game development community as well as the indie gaming scene at large. Game Informer extends its deepest condolences to Fahmi’s family and friends."

I love this game, I guess this means the sequel will be cancelled . RIP Fahmi .

That are sad news. I heard about the game Coffee Talk several times and it was only good things.

Oh man. So young. So talented.

Tragic news, rest in peace Fahmi. Hope his family finds closure and peace.

Jeez. 32! 

 

I haven't played Coffee Talk, but I hate hearing about someone dying so young.

[Banana_Sausage47]

Awful news. Thank you for sharing your passion with us Fahmi. May you rest in peace.

I've had Coffee Talk in my backlog for a while but haven't gotten around to it yet. I heard there was also to be a sequel, wonder what will become of that now.

 

32 is such a young age to pass away at. I can't even begin to imagine how much this person still wanted to do with his life and what else he could have achieved that will now sadly never happen. May he rest in peace.

I just finished the game and i loved it, very sad that i did some more research and come across this.

Rest in peace friend.

R.I.P Fahmi. 
The game is on my wishlist, and I'll be sure to buy it later this month.  I've heard nothing but good things about it.

This is deeply sad news.

 

I played the demo of Coffee Talk in 2020, and found it so chilled and delightful. I picked up the game, and have been saving it to play this year.

 

Thoughts and blessings to Fahmi, the Toge Productions team, and all his loved ones. RIP Fahmi.

For those wondering, Coffee Talk was released on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch.

 

The Coffee Talk demo is still available on the PS Store (I presume it's also on the Xbox and Switch stores), so if you're curious about the game, you can give it a go.

 

Coffee Talk demo (UK store): https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP5438-CUSA18604_00-CHOR00000000E6DD

 

The demo was available on Steam, too, but I can't seem to display it/find it. However, you can find it on the official game website here: https://togeproductions.itch.io/coffee-talk-demo

 

As I said in my post above, I've been saving the full game to enjoy this year. I adored the writing so much from what I played that I was also anticipating the sequel. Let's see what happens. But I encourage you to give the demo a go, if you enjoy narrative adventure games and visual novels.

 

Fahmi was a superb writer and I'm shook that he's gone so young. May he rest in peace.

All proceeds from Steam and console sales from March 31st to April 4th will be donated to his family. So if you ever thought about getting this game, now would be a good time.

Sad to learn of this. I just bought the game on sale and got the plat. Thoroughly enjoyed this chill game and was not expecting to like it this much. 
 

RIP
