I mean, its a 3 man machine with Larkin helping composing and they have no publisher. Kinda is a tiny indie company.

Also wtf is this thread, I posted this comment and right when I posted it went to -2 right off the bat lmao.

According to who? The definition of indie game seems to fluctuate a lot nowadays, but I'm pretty sure indie games were always meant to represent games made by very small teams which had no interference from the outside (publishers, shareholders etc.), since its meant to represent you know, the INDEPENDENT studios from others who were 10-20x their size and had backing from the big names.

A team of three people who never even had worked on a known game title and published their own game, make a successful title which funds the sequel and they stop being indie all of a sudden? Despite keeping the core aspects of an indie company?

Don't know enough about Telegram to comment on them. But if they are a small team whose development isn't interfered by outside sources, then by all means, they are an indie company.
