The Neeblarium is a calm, living simulation about cultivating tiny digital creatures called Neeblies and deciding what’s worth preserving. You don’t control Neeblies directly. You shape conditions, observe what emerges, and intervene only when it matters.
Over time, families form. Lineages diverge. Rare traits appear. Some discoveries are fleeting. Others are worth saving.
Use your Lab to capture traits you’ve discovered and reintroduce them as new founders. Run multiple biomes as experiments, each telling its own quiet evolutionary story.
The world keeps moving whether you act or not.
An artificial life sim about attention, care, and making something last.
Your role in The Neeblarium:
Establish conditions for life within a running ecosystem
Introduce eggs and observe Neeblies grow, adapt, and reproduce on their own
Watch families form and lineages diverge across generations
Notice mutations, rare traits, and subtle behavioral differences as they emerge naturally
Use a Lab to preserve discovered traits and reintroduce them as new founders
Run multiple biomes in parallel, each evolving independently over time
Decide when to intervene, curate, or simply let things run
Your choices shape long-term outcomes, but the system never demands constant micromanagement.
You can be hands-on, or almost completely hands-off.
The simulation doesn’t demand constant input — but it does reward attention.
🕹️ Partial Controller Support
🎮 Full Controller Support
A cozy update focused on lineage clarity, better naming, and cleaner colony browsinghelping Keepers follow the lives (and families!) of their Neeblies with more heart and less clutter.
[hr][/hr]Family Lineage Highlighting
You can now see a Neeblies entire living family at a glance.
Click a Neeblies family name in the detail panel to illuminate every relative with a glowing, generation-coded halo:
White the selected Neeblie
[/*]Gold / Amber older generations
[/*]Cyan / Blue younger generations
[/*]Purple same generation
[/*]
This shows generational relationships within a family line (not full ancestry trees), giving your biome an immediate sense of history and depth.\nClick again to hide the highlights; click a third time to show them again. Switching Neeblies resets the view automatically.
[hr][/hr]Collection Sidebar Improvements
A handful of polish changes make colony browsing cleaner and easier:
Simplified count labels (now simply 3/50)
[/*]Deceased Neeblies are now visibly inactive: no hover glow, no cursor changes, no click sounds
[/*]Removed raw lineage IDs from family names
[/*]Fixed layout quirks in the 128px preview grid
[/*]
Small touches that add up to a more peaceful, readable interface.
[hr][/hr]Name System Overhaul
Fallback names like Blee89 and Glip25 are now a thing of the past.
This update:
Introduces a curated database of 10,947 hand-filtered names
[/*]Removes the old neutral name bucket that caused fallback generation
[/*]Ensures children correctly inherit family lineage every time
[/*]Refreshes the name cache so all new Neeblies get proper names
[/*]Cleans out earlier classification artifacts
[/*]
Result: Neeblie names now feel consistent, intentional, and much more alive.
[hr][/hr]Bug Fixes & Stability
Fixed rare crashes from freed-instance neighbor lookups
[/*]Corrected lineage inheritance for newborn Neeblies
[/*]Sidebar now updates cleanly when Neeblies die or are renamed
[/*]More robust UI behavior for deceased Neeblies
[/*]
Up Next
This update lays the groundwork for several major features landing very soon:
Bed detail panel (resource history, florin state, regeneration metrics)
[/*]Biome detail panel (global colony health)
[/*]Neeblie detail panel expansions (stats, traits, relationships)
[/*]Lineage visualization refinements ( clearer generational spread )
[/*]Continued Hybridizer & Archivist evolution (still alpha!)
[/*]
And weve begun working with an artist to elevate the Neeblariums visual identity. Big glow-ups ahead!
