Have you been keeping up with Build A Rocket Boy? The studio behind MindsEye and Everywhere is in serious trouble. Fresh layoffs have hit the team, and all signs point to a full shutdown.

If you missed it, Build A Rocket Boy made waves back in 2022 when it announced Everywhere, a multiplayer user-generated content platform. The studio also released the single-player action game MindsEye, which stirred up some online drama around its launch. We at MOP haven't been tracking MindsEye too closely since it's single-player, but we did note the studio's ambitious plans with Everywhere.

So what does this mean for you? If you were looking forward to future updates or content from Build A Rocket Boy, those hopes are now hanging by a thread. The studio's struggles are a stark reminder of how volatile the game industry can be, even for teams with big ideas.
