Our database says that the game was developed by Delphine Software, but I believe Delphine was the publisher (one of them), and the game was developed not by a company, but by a single man. That's what Wikipedia says, too.

Without a doubt the majority of the heavy lifting was done by Eric Chahi, down to the cover art. That said, whether Delphine gets credited as development company could boil down to a lot of external factors, including whether Eric was on their payroll for any of the protracted development time, etc.

Our biography for Chahi says he was employed by Delphine from 1989 until Another World was finished.

"In 1989 Chahi quit Chip to join Delphine Software to work on the graphics for Future Wars, a game designed by Paul Cuisset. Chahi then developed Another World almost entirely on his own, from the story to the box cover; later it received much critical acclaim for its atmosphere and minimalism.

After leaving Delphine, Chahi founded Amazing Studio and became one of several designers that were working there on Heart of Darkness."
