In a troubling turn of events, Build a Rocket Boy, the studio behind the much-anticipated game MindsEye, has reportedly initiated mass layoff proceedings that could affect over 100 employees.

The Edinburgh-based developer has begun a 45-day consultation process with its staff, a requirement under UK law when planning to lay off 100 or more employees.
