Hello world — the site is live
First devlog. The game is out, the site is up, here's what's coming next.
This is the first devlog. The site is up. The game is out — v1.1.8 is live on Google Play as of May 25.
Where we are
NeuronIdle is an idle / incremental / clicker game where you manage a simulated AI training studio. Buy hardware, train brains on datasets, run them to earn income, sell them on the Black Market or via Contracts. Income funds bigger rigs and more powerful models. Progress compounds across many brain “generations”.
It’s free to download, ad-supported, with optional in-app purchases (Nu currency packs). PEGI 3.
What ships in v1.1.8
- 8 model archetypes (Micro → Colossus) and 4 chassis tiers (Starter → Cluster) + 2 premium
- 10+ modules with upgrade trees and combos
- 40+ knowledge domains across 4 corpora (wiki / poetry / code / NLP)
- Black Market (50–250% rng payout, Flash Deals up to 6×) and 5 contract types
- Brain Diversity / Model Potential — every brain rolls a unique personality across 5 axes
- Specialization endgame — 24 paths × 3 tiers, Cluster chassis activation, Project Contracts
- Multi-brain — parallel training, VRAM budget sharing
- Online via Google Play Games — sign-in, 4 leaderboards, 79 achievements synced, cloud save
- 4 languages — English, Czech, Spanish (LatAm), Portuguese (Brazil)
What’s next (real roadmap)
These are planned but not yet shipped. Order and timing may change.
- Eliza chat module — in-run dialog window with tier-coherent responses
- Online player-to-player market — trade brains and BM items with other players (planned as an in-game unlock you progress toward, not free-for-all from day one)
- Season / Era cycle — periodic server-wide resets with cross-era carryover of premium currency and Hall of Fame
- Leaderboard expansion — season-based competitive boards on top of the existing 4 lifetime boards
- Real Nu prizes (long-term) — top-of-leaderboard rewards in spendable Nu, subject to per-region legal compliance
- Intermediate HW tiers — Workstation, Server Rack, Workstation Pro between Deep and Cluster
- More domains — expanding toward 33+ total across corpora
- Bonus contract rework — currently disabled pending redesign of expiration + balance
- Custom rig background selector — pick any previously owned chassis aesthetic as your displayed background
