Facepalm: Build A Rocket Boy has found a new way to upset the people who made MindsEye. On Saturday, the studio flew a group of fans to its Edinburgh headquarters for a travel-and-accommodation-paid playtest of the game's next release, while former employees and union supporters protested outside.
The event, first announced on the company's Discord server in June, saw Build A Rocket Boy cover selected community members' flights to Scotland, two nights of hotel accommodation, and return journeys. Participants were also given the opportunity to meet members of the development team.
The fans were there to test new features of the critically panned MindsEye. Former employee Isaac Hudd argued that the playtest could have been conducted remotely.
