Conceptualized in 2016, the game started development with a team of three ex-Rockstar North employees – Leslie Benzies, Matthew Smith and Colin Entwistle – numbering about thirty staff by January 2017. Build a Rocket Boy Games, formerly Royal Circus Games (renamed in October 2018),[lower-alpha 1] is developing Everywhere on the Amazon Lumberyard engine from studios based in Edinburgh, Budapest and Los Angeles, with the intention of offering a less restrictive experience than that of other games. It draws most of its influences from real life, according to Benzies.[2][3][4] Staff worked from home during the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

Notes
  1. Take-Two Interactive levied a legal warning against Royal Circus Games, citing the similarity of its acronym (RCG) to Take-Two's subsidiary Rockstar Games (RSG) as infringement of intellectual property, while also decrying their employment of Rockstar North staff as a deceptive tactic to create an affiliation between them.[3]

gollark: I'm wondering if this is trolling, or someone who is pathologically incapable of updating their knowledge.
gollark: YOU DON'T NEED TO WRITE OUT-OF-GAME SOFTWARE(most of the time)
gollark: Just irate.
