I think it’s time to talk about a few things that the BARB Community isn’t happy about. I’ll speak for myself, but I know many people will feel represented by this as well. For years, we’ve supported Build A Rocket Boy in every way we could, through both the good times and the difficult ones. But we’ve reached a point where the lack of communication is starting to feel frustrating, and at times even disrespectful towards the community. We understand that this isn’t an easy moment for the company. However, as of today, we still don’t have any clear information about EVERYWHERE. When the Builders Beta ended without prior notice, many of us lost access to hundreds of hours of creations. Projects we had put a lot of time and care into simply disappeared overnight. We were told that those ARCs would return in MindsEye. It’s now been 11 months, and they still haven’t come back. We understand that challenges happen. We really do. But this is exactly why communication matters. The motivation to keep creating in MindsEye fades when the community is left in uncertainty about what’s going to happen. Of course, we don’t expect full transparency. We understand the need to keep certain things under wraps and to build hype for major announcements. That’s completely fair. But right now, it feels like we’ve reached a point of total silence, where we simply don’t know anything. The Community Team is fantastic, and we love them. They've done amazing, but now it feels like they aren’t being given the freedom to communicate openly, and that ultimately affects the entire community and the game(s) too. There have been many mistakes along the way, and hopefully things can gradually move in a better direction. But a good starting point would be to listen to the community, even if it’s small, and engage with it more directly. It’s been a long time since we’ve had something like a Community Corner, a blog post, or any kind of meaningful update. At this point, we don’t even know whether EVERYWHERE is still actively being developed or not. We don’t even know if the EVERYWHERE Discord server will still be used in the future. As the person who built it and runs it, I think it’s fair to ask what comes next? In a situation like this, it becomes very difficult to stay excited. Mark or Leslie, if you're reading this, please give us a reason to keep believing in this. Please, @buildarocketboy, @everywheregame (if you're still alive), @MindsEyeGame, @laughivore.
