Future of games for Studio Build a Rocket Boy (MindsEye) (EveryWhere)

Let me take you EveryWhere

I have seen all the biggest successes and failures within the gaming industry which allows me to feel strong about studios who are trying new things but what’s a bit odd is that a ton of what BARB studio is going to attempt we see in parts from other companies. Let’s Start with Everywhere game. “EVERYWHERE is a place where you can unleash your creativity to build, remix, and play with others in a vast connected world.” Imagine a game that gives you endless tools to create your own games, modes or anything you can imagine. Now imagine they make it so anything made can be shared and others can remix creating their own games, modes and more with your tools. This is what EveryWhere game is offering and yes we see these kinds of things in Roblox, Minecraft and more which is not a trend and in the gaming culture it is becoming a staple for gamers to enjoy user created content. I share my breakdown in a video breakdown of Everywhere below.

The exciting part is not just this amazing universe will offer tools from users but the developers have big plans on other games like MindsEye that we will get into more before we connect it all to the bigger picture. MindsEye is a traditional Linear story driven action thriller that takes you into Redrock, a “fictional desert metropolis in the not-too-distant future,” and follows Jacob Diaz, who is equipped with a mysterious neural implant, the MindsEye, that has left him with disjointed flashbacks of his time in the service. This main character story will take us through battles with Robotic Soldiers, Drones, military forces and the worst of them all the corrupt political leaders. Let’s not talk about 2025 politics but I love this universe setting and top it off the car chases, gun fights and things like stealth segments and more to mix up the gameplay while keeping the experience around 16 or so hours sounds like they wanted to deliver an impactful experience but respect the players time. This video below dives into Mindseye Story aspects.

Speaking of MindsEye the legend himself Leslie Benzies, Who helped create GTA 3 and the others which showcase his key talent helped lift the series he now runs BARB and is leading the charge saying how

“I’ve dedicated my entire career to crafting captivating interactive entertainment to delight players,” said Leslie Benzies, Game Director of MindsEye. “With MindsEye, we’ve pushed cinematic adventure to the next level – building characters and a world that feels truly alive. We can’t wait for players to step in and feel the immersive realism and tireless effort poured into every moment of the game.”

He goes into so many details about Mindseye and how it will connect deeper into Everywhere also but allowing players to use assets from MindsEye within everywhere. Stating players might be able to remake a mission, move buildings, add other enemies and cars or use those assets on their own aspects. I breakdown more of what he explains in this video.

It starts with MindsEye

This is major news about using BARB games assets within Everywhere because they state they will make an open world game later possibly 2026 which he describes that open world will be multiplayer and players can go into everywhere and recreate aspects maybe turn the world into a zombie game or whatever you feel. This is inspiring news and exciting to see all these tied together building a deeper universe of user created content on top of great games. It is all still early to say this is a success but the potential of it all is exciting for me as a gamer and as a Creator of music, scripts and more I will be exploring these tools and games. They also partnered up with IOI interactive as Publishers they are the Creators of one of my all time favorite series HITMAN. Backed by such a long time success IOI is not only a honor but a show of belief in the products BARB is creating. For now in 2025 we got the beta for Everywhere and no official release date for it but MindsEye releases June 10, 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. I will have coverage and am really excited to use the assets everywhere also. The team at Barb has their hands full but I Believe in this and share my overview on MindsEye in the video below.
