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
This is the big one.
Build 1263 is a total UX and UI refactornot a feature drop, not a balance pass, but a ground-up rethink of how the Neeblarium works, how you interact with it, and how progression will feel going forward.
Im intentionally not listing everything here. This update isnt about a checklistits about laying the foundation for Early Access.
[hr][/hr]What Changed (At a High Level)
A New Progression Philosophy
Progression is now centered on color curation and lineage, rather than raw population growth.
Start with common green Neeblies
[/*]Work your way through increasingly rare hues
[/*]Discover legendary magenta
[/*]And ultimately chase the mythical golden Neeblie
[/*]
Color isnt cosmetic anymoreits the spine of progression.
[hr][/hr]Heritage, Lineage & Genealogy
Neeblies are no longer isolated creatures. They belong to families, with history.
Full heritage and lineage tracking
[/*]Genealogy that actually matters
[/*]Long-term strain identity instead of disposable populations
[/*]
Your colony is something you cultivate, not just manage.
[hr][/hr]Blueprints & Egg Encoding
You can now:
Blueprint your most interesting Neeblies
[/*]Encode eggs directly from those blueprints
[/*]Isolate, breed, mutate, and refine strains intentionally
[/*]Work toward specific genetic and color goals
[/*]
This is the core loop the game has been slowly orbiting toward.
[hr][/hr]Important Alpha Notes
This is a refactor build, and it shows.
Please expect:
Bugs
[/*]Rough edges
[/*]Unbalanced economy and progression
[/*]Disabled systems:
[list]Tutorial
[/*]Achievements
[/*]
Placeholder or outdated visuals
[/*]That said:\n This is the baseline.\nThe UI, UX, and workflows you see here are the shape of the Early Access experience.
[hr][/hr]Whats Next
With the new foundation in place, the focus shifts to:
Refactoring the progression & rarity systems to fully support the new UX
[/*]Rebalancing the economy around curation, not hoarding
[/*]Re-introducing tutorials and achievements in a way that fits the new flow
[/*]Visual polish and clarity passes
[/*]
Now the real tuning begins.
[hr][/hr]Why This Matters
This update isnt flashyits structural.
Its the difference between adding features and building a game that can grow.
If youve been waiting for the Neeblarium to feel cohesive, intentional, and future-proofedthis is that moment.
Thank you for sticking with it.
