RimWorld on Wikipedia

RimWorld is a construction and management simulation video game developed by Canadian game designer Tynan Sylvester and published by Ludeon Studios. Originally called Eclipse Colony, it was initially released as a Kickstarter crowdfunding project in early access for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux in November 2013, and version 1.0 was released on October 17, 2018. The game was ported to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as RimWorld Console Edition on July 29, 2022, with development and publishing being handled by Double Eleven. Rather than a test of skill or a challenge, the game is intended to be a "story generator" run by different computer "storytellers", where the game is used as the medium for players to experience narrative adventures.
