Why Early Access?

“The Neeblarium is a living, evolving world — and we want its community to help shape how that world grows.
The simulation is already fully playable: you can nurture Neeblies, build thriving colonies, and watch emergent genetics unfold.
Early Access gives us a chance to refine balance, improve feel, and introduce new features like the upcoming Golden Neeblies and Geneticist’s Toolkit with player feedback guiding every step.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will remain in Early Access until the experience feels stable, complete, and deeply replayable.
We expect this to take several months, depending on community feedback and iteration cycles.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to expand beyond care and observation into true creation and experimentation.
Planned additions include:

Golden Neeblies & Heritage System — rare, long-lived lineages with recorded ancestry.

The Geneticist’s Toolkit — a cozy, diegetic lab where players can design custom genomes, test behavior in micro-sims, and introduce new strains into their living world.

Deeper Social & Environmental Dynamics — evolving group behavior, new toys and superfoods, and optional long-term sandbox tools.
These goals are guides, not promises — our focus is on growing the world organically with the community’s input.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access build includes the complete core simulation loop and all major interactive systems:

🥚 Egg Collection & Hatching — six base color lineages, each heritable and genetically distinct.

🎈 Toy System — enrich Neeblies with drag-and-drop toys that affect mood and behavior.

🌿 Superfoods — buff health, extend lifespan, or enhance genetic strength.

💰 Charm Economy — earn Charms over time to buy new items and keep your colony thriving.

🎛️ Interactive Tray & Dropper Tools — fully diegetic UI for cozy, tactile interaction.

🌈 Genetic Inheritance — real color drift, visible generations, and emergent family groups.

Performance has been tuned for colonies of 200–250 Neeblies running at 60 FPS, with full save/load persistence and stable behavior systems.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to keep the Early Access price lower than the final release, reflecting that the game is still growing and evolving.
As major systems like the Golden Neeblies, Geneticist’s Toolkit, and Heritage features arrive, the price may gradually increase to reflect the expanded scope.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback is at the heart of the Neeblarium.
We’ll be listening closely in our Discord server, Steam discussions, and social channels for input on:

Gameplay balance and pacing

Desired new traits, toys, and superfoods

Interface and accessibility improvements

Feature priorities for post-launch updates

Regular patch notes, public Trello updates, and bi-weekly developer logs will keep players informed as the world evolves.
Your observations, discoveries, and stories will directly influence how the Neeblarium grows — it’s a sandbox for both players and developers to learn from.”
