AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
MindsEye developer Build A Rocket Boy is facing another round of staff redundancies and departures as key employees signal the end of their time at the studio.
Build A Rocket Boy, the studio behind the ambitious action game and platform MindsEye, is reportedly undergoing another significant round of layoffs. Recent public statements from internal staff members suggest the studio is scaling down drastically, with members of the human resources and release teams sharing that they are currently searching for new opportunities after receiving redundancy notices.
The situation came to light through professional network postings, where recruitment and development staff indicated they were helping wrap up operations at the studio. Rock Paper Shotgun first highlighted these updates, which follow a turbulent period for the developer. Trade unions have previously raised concerns regarding management practices at the company, pointing to a difficult trajectory for the team following the launch of their flagship project.
While corporate registries still list the business as active with key leadership figures at the helm, the steady stream of departures leaves the immediate future of the studio in serious doubt. For the players and community members who watched the project develop across platforms, these ongoing industry contractions highlight the immense economic pressures currently facing development teams across the gaming space.
