Coffee Talk Tokyo

Devlog #2 – Character ID "Vin"

Feb 20

Today, we’d like you to meet the Barista’s right-hand person, their trusted assistant, Vin!

Vin was born because we wanted players to have a character in the game who felt like a constant presence at the café; someone who creates a thread throughout the story, even as other characters come and go. At the same time, we wanted them to feel different from Freya’s presence in the first Coffee Talk, both in personality and in role. That’s how the idea of an Assistant Barista came to be.

Then, as we spent more time with Vin, they became much more than that, as characters tend to do. Vin is a human with a peculiar backstory. They’re a sweetheart who puts others first, a hard-working person who’s been through the wringer, a music lover, a dog person AND a cat person (why not both?), and many things besides. They live in a loft above the café and are the Barista’s close friend.

Like all our characters, Vin’s looks are the work of cro_iz, our concept artist, who took the writers’ brief of a “classical, with a bit of cyberpunk vibe” character and came up with Vin’s barista outfit, a mix of the traditional jazzy vibes represented in the cafe’s interior, and the neon lights shining outside. We also wanted Vin’s looks to reflect their creative personality and their non-binary identity.

Our character artist, Dan, then brought Vin to life with a whole array of facial expressions, some of which are specific to this character only and represent their unique personality, an enthusiastic face at one end of the scale, an exhausted look at the other.

We hope you enjoy getting to know Vin as much as we did, and discovering what makes them tick!

In the meantime, stay tuned for our next devlog, where we’ll discuss the themes in our story (spoiler-free, of course.) ☕️💛

Devlog #1 – Welcome to Coffee Talk Tokyo

Feb 3

A late-night digital refuge, now in Tokyo. 🗼

Hello, lovely players! Thank you for joining us in our late-night Tokyo café. Whether you’ve followed us across the Pacific from Seattle, or you’re finding us now in a little back street tucked away between neon-lit skyscrapers, we thought we’d start by introducing you to our fine establishment. Why Tokyo? Why the wood-clad interior? Why the records and the sound system? If you’re curious to find out, read on.

There’s just something special about Tokyo at night. If you’ve ever been there, or are even from there, you will know this: the safe, quiet residential streets where parents cycle home, their kid on the back rack, from some after-school class, and right nearby, the bustling roads covered in bars, 24/7 shops, and tipsy salarymen. Underlying all that, layers upon layers of lives are lived alongside each other: the elegant bar Masters, the tired konbini workers, the jobbing musicians. Tokyo at night is a never-ending carousel of colourful characters. It’s no wonder that Midnight Diner, the quirky TV show set there, has had such massive success, to the point that it inspired an indie game you may have heard about: the original Coffee Talk.

In that sense, setting the new game in Tokyo felt like coming full circle, right back to the source. But it was also an opportunity for something new. Japan has a long and rich history of myths and legends, some of which have crossed borders into the Western imagination, powerful dragons, clever kitsune, tricksy kappa, and others that are less well-known. Moving the action to Tokyo meant we could now pick from all this fascinating folklore. Of course, in keeping with Coffee Talk’s tradition, we wanted to use the characters to shed light on some societal issues that are peculiar to Japan; but at the same time, because people are people across time and places, it allows us to explore, beyond cultures, our shared humanity.

With that said, the question remained of the café itself. We could have gone with a modern space, not too dissimilar from the original café, but Tokyo has a wonderful tradition of something called jazz kissa. Set on quiet roads, bathed in dimmed light, with walls panelled with wood, hundreds of vinyl records, and large speakers, jazz kissa welcome avid music listeners, who often sit in near-liturgical silence while the Master, a bona fide jazz expert, plays their pick of the greatest records. Obviously, our café couldn’t have that same silent vibe, but in every other respect, the inspiration seemed perfect. The cosy, timeless atmosphere is the kind of backdrop we want for our stories, and music plays no small part in why players love the Coffee Talk IP, something we’ll return to in a future devlog.

So we found some reference pictures, sent them to our concept artist, Cro-san, and our environment pixel artist, Fuzuzu-san, and Coffee Talk Tokyo was born.

We hope you enjoyed this little behind-the-scenes glance at our inspiration process. We’ll see you soon for another devlog, in which we will introduce a character we love very much.

Until then, happy brewing! ☕️💛

Coffee Talk Tokyo Launch Update: May 21, 2026

Jan 15

Hello everyone,

Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

We want to share an important update. Coffee Talk Tokyo will now launch on Thursday, May 21, 2026.

We understand that this is disappointing news, and we want you to rest assured that we won't delay our launch date further. We are in the final stretch, and the bulk of the game is ready.

But we felt we needed the extra time, because we really want to deliver the best possible experience from day one. And that means giving extra attention to polish: how the game feels in your hands, the comfort and smoothness, and the last little bits of content - everything that will allow the story to shine as it deserves.

Above all, we want to release a game the community is truly happy to return to, back in the world of Coffee Talk, in a new city, alongside beloved customers and new stories.

Thank you for your patience and your support.

We cannot wait to welcome you back to the café!

Coffee Talk Tokyo Team
