MindsEye has multiplayer and a grenade football mode now, which the handful of people still playing it will no doubt be thrilled to hear

Build a Rocket Boy is committed to developing its open-world shooter, MindsEye, despite facing challenges such as low sales, recent layoffs, and allegations of surveillance technology being installed on employees' workstations. The latest update, Update 8, introduces a team-based multiplayer mode called "grenade football," where players aim to score by propelling a large ball into the opposing team's net. However, the gameplay appears unpolished, with issues like the oversized ball disappearing during play. The game has seen a peak of only 36 concurrent players in the past 24 hours, raising concerns about player engagement. The update also includes new racing circuits, social features, and improvements to the single-player experience, such as better enemy physics, adjusted mission difficulty, and refined AI behavior. Despite the rocky launch, there is a desire for improvement, but former developers have protested against the studio's practices, and concerns have been raised about the shifting of work from employees to the fanbase during a crisis in the gaming industry.
