• v0.8.0.1790: Your first bloom, sooner! - 29 August 2026

  Your first bloom, sooner Keepers, a small update with a big change to your first half hour. Some of you told us the early game felt like a long wait, and that the Lab seemed out of reach when every Neeblie was Common. You were right on both counts, and we found why: a mating cooldown meant for after a birth was also being applied to Neeblies who had never bred at all. No matter how ready a young pair looked, nothing could happen for roughly twenty minutes. That is fixed. What's changed Founders' Bloom. The first eggs from your Foundational Strain now grow up quickly and pair off within a few minutes of hatching, so your colony's first live birth is something you'll see, not something you'll wait for. The Lab opens with new life. The Lab now unlocks the moment your colony has its first live birth. You no longer need an Uncommon to get inside. Genome Capture comes next. Discover an Uncomm…

• Update 0.8.0! A More Living World - 16 June 2026

  The Neeblarium Major Update is here Keepers, this is a big one. I’ve spent the last several months touching a lot of the game: Neeblie behavior, toys, research, early-game pacing, the Lab Bot, save/profile handling, UI scaling, and a pile of smaller fixes that should make the habitat feel smoother and more alive. What changedNeeblies are more playful, curious, and believable around toys.Toys have better discovery, dragging, tidying, carrying, and save/load behavior. Research and unlocks should feel more earned, especially around enrichment, superfoods, and the Lab Bot. The Lab Bot has new upgrade paths like Genetic Flagging and Discovery Assist.Early guidance is calmer and better paced, with fewer popup piles.Births, blooms, discoveries, and colony moments are easier to notice.Saves, lineage data, bed removal, threaded simulation, and profile handling have all been hardened.UI scaling,…

• New build! 04.20 - 13 June 2026

  It's been a while, but excited to share a new build. The Neeblarium feels a little more alive. Neeblies now have more small moments, sounds, memories, growth beats, and colony milestones to notice as you care for them. Toys got a big comfort pass: they can be placed, picked up, returned to the tray, saved properly, and even tidied back home by helpful adult Neeblies when they wander too far. The inspection lens has been polished into a clearer, cozier study tool, with better placement over your Neeblie and a more natural feel. This update also adds gentler onboarding hints, improved language support, cleaner options, safer saves, better backup recovery, and a handful of UI comfort fixes for readability and accessibility.

• Under the Surface - 15 January 2026

  It’s been a little quiet on the surface, so I wanted to share what’s been taking shape behind the glass.At a high level, I’ve been reworking one of the most fundamental parts of the simulation:Neeblies are becoming more self-directed.Less “follow a script.” More “decide, learn, adapt.” This is groundwork, not a playable update yet.You won’t see these changes in your current build—but they’re what the next major updates are being built on.🌿 A Shift in How Neeblies ThinkUntil now, Neeblies mostly responded to the world in fairly predictable ways. What’s changing is where decisions come from.Going forward:Each Neeblie decides when something is worth thinking aboutNeeds aren’t simple on/off states, but competing pressuresPast experiences matterPersonal tendencies matterThe world presents situations. Neeblies decide how (or if) to respond.This opens the door to behavior that feels observed,…

  This is a small but meaningful polish update focused on consistency, clarity, and presentation—both in-game and out.What’s ImprovedClearer Rarity Everywhere Rarity tiers are now defined in one place and used consistently across the UI and systems. What’s rare, epic, or mythic should now feel… unambiguous.Mythic Neeblies, Visually Distinguished Mythic Neeblies now stand out properly with a subtle pulsing halo and minimum glow, making them unmistakable at a glance.Discovery Progress, Smoothed Out Endpoint discoveries (like the far end of the color wheel) now resolve correctly through lineage, so your discoveries track the way you expect them to.Scrapbook & Saves, More Flexible The Scrapbook and save system now adapt cleanly to dynamic slot counts, laying groundwork for future expansion without surprises.Developer Splash Refresh Updated splash screen text and sizing, with a clearer nudge t…

• Update v0.3.2 - 4 January 2026

  This is a small polish pass focused on keeping the interface tidy and consistent as systems continue to grow.You likely won’t notice anything dramatic—but everything should feel a little cleaner and more predictable.🧪 Lab & Card PolishThe current-subject view in the Lab has been simplified for clarityMini Neeblie previews now align more consistently across panelsCards and previews follow a cleaner layout, with better spacing and marginsThese changes help reduce visual noise and keep information easy to read as your collection expands.

• The Neeblarium — Update v0.2.1 - 2 January 2026

  This update is all about making the Neeblarium easier to read, easier to use, and easier to understand—especially as the engineering, blueprint, and achievement systems deepen.Nothing flashy. Just meaningful polish where it matters.🛠️ Clearer Tools, Better FeedbackSeveral core tools and panels now communicate their state more clearly:Engineering tools now appear consistently in the tool palette when unlockedSection headers and icons in the Engineering Panel have been refined for readabilityTool icons and UI assets have been refreshed to better match the current visual languageYou should spend less time guessing why something is unavailable—and more time deciding what to do next.🧬 Blueprint & Lab UX ImprovementsWorking with blueprints and extractions is now more transparent:Extraction buttons explain why an action is blocked, directly in the UITooltips have been simplified and rewritte…

• The Neeblarium — Build 1360 - 23 December 2025

  Build 1360 is one of those moments where a lot of long-running threads finally tie together.This update closes several core-loop gaps and pushes the Neeblarium firmly into its intended shape: discover → understand → preserve → refine → progress.I’m not listing every change here—there are too many—but the highlights below capture what fundamentally changed about how the game plays.🧬 Neeblies Are Now Worth KnowingNeeblies finally have real traits, real rarity, and real identity—and the game now supports discovering and caring about them long-term.Traits and rarity are no longer abstract numbersYou discover what makes a Neeblie specialLineage, heritage, and family history matterRare finds feel meaningful, not accidentalThis closes a major loop: observation now leads to intention.📚 The Neeblie Collection LibraryYou now have a proper way to browse, review, and manage your Neeblies.See your…

• The Neeblarium — Build 1263 - 20 December 2025

  This is the big one.Build 1263 is a total UX and UI refactor—not 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.I’m intentionally not listing everything here. This update isn’t about a checklist—it’s about laying the foundation for Early Access.🌱 What Changed (At a High Level)🎨 A New Progression PhilosophyProgression is now centered on color curation and lineage, rather than raw population growth.Start with common green NeebliesWork your way through increasingly rare huesDiscover legendary magentaAnd ultimately chase the mythical golden NeeblieColor isn’t cosmetic anymore—it’s the spine of progression.🧬 Heritage, Lineage & GenealogyNeeblies are no longer isolated creatures.

• 🌿 The Neeblarium — Build 1102 Update - 11 December 2025

  A cozy update focused on lineage clarity, better naming, and cleaner colony browsing—helping Keepers follow the lives (and families!) of their Neeblies with more heart and less clutter.🌿 Family Lineage HighlightingYou can now see a Neeblie’s entire living family at a glance.Click a Neeblie’s family name in the detail panel to illuminate every relative with a glowing, generation-coded halo:White — the selected NeeblieGold / Amber — older generationsCyan / Blue — younger generationsPurple — same generationThis shows generational relationships within a family line (not full ancestry trees), giving your biome an immediate sense of history and depth.

• 🌿 The Neeblarium — Build 1070 - 8 December 2025

  Hey Keepers,It has been a quieter stretch on the surface, but the Neeblarium has been anything but still. This update represents months of behind-the-glass growth — a major refactor of the core simulation, a complete HUD overhaul, tons of polish, and a stronger foundation for all the upcoming features many of you have been waiting for.Let’s dig in. 💚🧬 1. A Stronger Heart — Core Simulation RefactorThe Neeblarium’s internal data, genetics, and simulation architecture have been rebuilt from the ground up. It’s the largest structural update in the game’s lifetime.What this means for you:Smoother and more stable coloniesBetter long-term behavior across generationsFaster performance with larger populationsMore reliable saving and loadingCleaner trait and genetics systemsA much easier foundation to build future features onThis update sets the stage for everything that comes next.🌱 2. Deep H…

• 🌱 What’s Coming for The Neeblarium - 7 December 2025

  Build 1042Hey Keepers,It’s been a little quiet through November, but that doesn’t mean things have stopped growing. Most of the recent updates have been happening inside the playtest beta branch, so if you’re on the main branch, you haven’t seen much of the work yet.Behind the scenes, I’m deep into a major refactor of the core data and simulation systems — the kind of work that doesn’t show flashy results right away, but strengthens everything underneath.🧬 Why This Refactor MattersThis rewrite is focused on making the simulation cleaner, more consistent, and easier to build on. It touches almost every part of the Neeblarium, and it’s laying the groundwork for future features without overcommitting to anything specific yet.Once it’s ready, the playtest branch will get a substantial update, and the main branch will follow after stability checks.🌿 What to ExpectA noticeably sturdier foun…

• 🌿 The Neeblarium — Build 849 - 25 November 2025

  ✨ HighlightsThis is a big one — a foundation-setting update that introduces the earliest versions of two long-awaited systems: The Hybridizer and The Archivist. They’re both very alpha, far from complete, and still rough around the edges — but they mark an exciting step toward a deeper, more personal Neeblarium. 💚⚠️ These systems are early prototypes. Expect bugs, missing visuals, and plenty of room for refinement in future updates!🧬 The Hybridizer (Early Alpha)The first spark of true genetic engineering is here. Extract DNA from living Neeblies, mix traits, and begin experimenting with custom strains — all from a new tab in your Geneticist’s Toolkit.You can:Sample DNA from any Neeblie.Combine traits to design new offspring.Save and load early genetic “blueprints.”It’s basic, but it works — and it’s the start of something big.📖 The Archivist (Early Alpha)Your Neeblies now remember wh…
