MindsEye<\/a> promised to be a real game-changer, but it was one of the biggest disasters we’ve seen.

A game that hasn’t had a chance<\/h2>\n\n

According to several statements from members of the Build a Rocket Boy team on LinkedIn<\/a>, it seems that at the studio a new round of layoffs may be in the works, some of which may already have happened. Which makes us worry about the studio’s future, which after the release of MindsEye, hasn’t managed to stay afloat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While it’s difficult to get things back on track after a launch as disastrous as MindsEye’s, it wouldn’t be the first time it has happened. There are examples like Cyberpunk 2077<\/a> or No Man\u2019s Sky<\/a>, though both had solid foundations that just needed more polish, something MindsEye doesn’t seem to have had from the start<\/strong>. That’s why, and sadly, it seems inevitable that the studio will keep spiraling downward unless things change radically.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
