The production of "Boundless Heart."
Toge Productions participated in the release and introduction of works for "Boundless Heart."
Turn role-playing chat into dialogue
When the Coffee Talk writers get stuck, the team tries assigning roles, chatting freely, and then converting these interactions into dialogue.
An editor connecting dialogue animation and engine
During Coffee Talk development, Fredrik Lauwrensius created a dedicated editor to integrate written dialogues and animations into the game engine.
The prototype and stage selection for "Coffee Talk."
Kris Antoni of Toge Productions recalled that the team created a simple prototype during an internal game development event in 2017, trying to recreate the feeling of holding a hot drink on a rainy day. After the prototype was released to itch.io and received positive feedback, the team decided to continue developing Coffee Talk. The team also explained that Seattle's coffee culture and rainy climate resonated with this archetypal feeling, which is why it was chosen as the story's setting.
Choosing between dialogue options
The Coffee Talk team internally discussed whether to set up dialogue options, but ultimately omitted them as an option for artistic expression.
Visual references for pixel art
Art director Dio Mahesa said in 2020 that the team was inspired by lo-fi videos and loved the visual style of 1990s animation, especially writer Fahmi. They applied this style to pixel art and considered whether it could be accepted by players everywhere.
