Fahmi was known for creating hit Indonesian adventure game Coffee Talk, What Comes After, and the upcoming Afterlove EP. Both Coffee Talk and What Comes After have been received very positively on PC and other platforms, with many reviews citing how the former makes players feel comfortable and relaxing, and the latter touching upon how people should love themselves.

Fahmi was also renowned for being one of the brightest stars from Indonesia and the Southeast Asian indie game-developing region according to a number of developers in the region, particularly with those who met up with him in Malaysia’s Level Up KL game developer event.

Our industry has lost one of the brightest stars. ?@fahmitsu? was someone I was always inspired by. We met at the first Level Up KL where we talked about how we could grow the region together. No words can explain how great this kind and amazing soul. I will truly miss you. pic.twitter.com/eW3YxK3Fho

“May you be remembered always Fahmi. One of the brightest stars from Indonesia and the region. May you inspire others with your journey. Rest well my friend. Al-Fatihah.” – Hasnul Hadi, PlayStation Studios Malaysia lead.

I was still joking with him last night…I’m devastated.

Fahmi is a visionary game designer and great storyteller, and he is a good friend.

Rest in peace, Fahmi https://t.co/KUwHTBQh0U

Fuck. The passing of Fahmi is a huge loss not only to his beloved family and friends but also to the South East Asian indie games scene. I hope he knew the incredible impact he had on people just from purely being his authentic self. I’m sorry but I don’t know how to process this

Innalillahi wa innalillahi rajiun. Al Fatihah.

“Fahmi was the first person who approached me for a gamedev interview when we just started Mojiken. Somehow, he believed in my art more than I believed in myself and he kept finding the right words to compile the absurdity of it all.

I’ve drawn some artwork for him and it surprised me that I still want to draw more of his crazy stories while chatting on how his days are going like we used to. I bet he will find some cool game devs, writers and illustrators up there and fanboying hard while keeps on writing. Fahmi would always find me hiding during events, and we would talk a lot about everything. We promised to eat out once the pandemic settled.” -Brigitta Rerna (via IGN)

You did good mas Fahmi, rest well ya @fahmitsu

Today we lost a dear friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with him & his family. Everlong @fahmitsu https://t.co/OG2eVUegX5

The news of @fahmitsu’s passing is not only devastating for the Southeast Asian dev scene, but the indie ecosystem at large.

I never got to share this story with him ~ Fahmi gave me one of the most meaningful experiences as a content creator & for that I’m deeply thankful. (1/7)

Kakuchopurei would like to express its condolences to Fahmi’s family and loved ones. May he rest in peace.
