Kris Antoni

Kris Antoni (Kris Antoni Hadiputra) is an Indonesian game developer and entrepreneur best known as the founder and CEO of Toge Productions, the Jakarta-based independent studio and publisher behind Coffee Talk and the Infectonator series. He is one of the most visible figures in Southeast Asia's indie game scene.

Antoni started making Flash games with a friend in 2009 to earn pocket money, at a time when game development was almost unknown in Indonesia. Their small zombie game Infectonator became a hit on web portals, and what began as a bedroom hobby for two fresh graduates turned into a company. Toge, an Indonesian word for bean sprout, was chosen to signal that big things can grow from small beginnings.

The studio moved from web games to mobile and PC with titles such as Infectonator 3: Apocalypse (2018). In 2017 it started an indie publishing arm to help other developers in the region with marketing, distribution and showcases. That year an internal game jam produced the prototype for Coffee Talk, a cozy visual novel about a barista in a fantasy Seattle, created by writer and designer Mohammad Fahmi. Released on January 29, 2020, it became Toge's breakout title; the studio reported about Rp 7.6 billion in gross revenue within roughly its first month, and it was nominated at the D.I.C.E. Awards for Outstanding Achievement for an Independent Game.

Toge followed with Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly (2023), published other Indonesian games such as Mojiken's A Space for the Unbound, and in March 2022 bought Tahoe Games, the Kediri studio behind Rising Hell, for 4 billion rupiah, its first full acquisition. A spin-off, Coffee Talk Tokyo, made with Chorus Worldwide, came out in May 2026.

Antoni often speaks about building a games industry in developing regions and creating jobs outside the usual hubs, and Toge's publishing work has helped several Indonesian studios reach a global audience.
