Prison Architect predates Rimworld. Rimworld got shit for "copying" PA when it first came out.

See the FAQ for the Rimworld Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tynansylvester/rimworld/description

It looks a lot like Prison Architect. What's up with that?

Blame my (Tynan's) lack of art skill - especially with characters. I made the character art you see in the trailer as a stopgap, and borrowed the Prison Architect style because I'm not a good enough artist to develop a new one. They were never intended to be final. With this Kickstarter, we'll be able to get a real artist who can sit down and develop an original style for RimWorld.

I've talked with the original Prison Architect artist, Ryan Sumo, and he's fully supportive of RimWorld. We didn't share any art or code with the PA guys.

Oh, seems so. I always thought they just had the same art style through a coincidence or something. IDK where I got that
