    Fair – it is a bit of a grey area in that regard. I’ve been playing Rimworld for about 5 years now, and can attest that a large majority of the Game’s creative direction is from Tynan himself. The wikipedia article for Rimworld elaborates on the development history of Rimworld a bit more, and seem to imply it was at least originally created in Canada, back when it was just Tynan and a few other devs.

    Could be worth directly asking the studio how Canadian they are or consider themselves to be. They are rather active with the community with a active community engagement person on the subreddit.
