Build A Rocket Boy, the developer behind the poorly received game MindsEye, has initiated a layoff consultation process due to the game's disastrous launch. This follows significant backlash from players and critics, resulting in a low Metacritic score of 38. The company faces potential redundancies, as UK law mandates a 45-day consultation for layoffs involving 100 employees or more. Founded by Leslie Benzies, Build A Rocket Boy aimed to create a Metaverse-like game but is now struggling to fix MindsEye's numerous issues and may have fewer resources to do so.
"As it is, issues like broken AI and uneven car physics simply exacerbate the problems with its archaic and insipid design. Impressive visuals can't compensate for a lack of substance."
"The company has begun the 45-day consultation process required by UK law prior to layoffs. A specific number of affected developers has not been revealed."
