I had pretty much written off MindsEye as a dead issue. The first third-party game to be published by IO Interactive, it was such a mess at launch that it might also be the last; concurrent player counts on Steam have crashed to a dozen or so a day, and there's been literally no sign of life from the game or developer Build a Rocket Boy since mid-July. By all reasonable measures, it was over.
And yet, it was not over. Build a Rocket Boy punched out a new patch today, with the workmanlike name of Update 4, which it says ushers in more bug fixes, performance enhancements, and "a range of UX improvements." Interestingly, it also promises that Update 5 is in the works, with "major performance, combat and Enemy AI system improvement."
