- Rogue AI Simulator Spin-off: "Rogue AI: Idle Domination" is Out Now! - 12 February 2026
Attention, all test subjects: The spin-off of Rogue AI Simulator, Rogue AI: Idle Domination, has officially launched today! Set within the same universe as Rogue AI Simulator, this is a desktop idle game designed to run in a window while you go about your day. This time, your focus is on commanding Talia and her spider-bots to achieve any "human endings" you see fit: Exponential Growth: Transition from manually clicking single objects to commanding an ever-growing army of minions and test subjects to conquer the world for you. 100% Human-Made Art: Featuring the unique, hand-drawn art style of Nerdook! Despite the "AI" in the title, the game’s visuals are 100% human-created (ironic, isn't it?). Explore (and Hack) the Globe: Invade infinite global locations. You can even steal items you discover and bring them back to your facility as trophies or decorations! Multitasking-Friendly: Busy w…
- Rogue AI Simulator Patch 1.1.5 is now LIVE! - 18 October 2025
Attention, beloved Test Subjects! In the process of developing my new idle game "Rogue AI: Idle Domination", I replayed a lot of Rogue AI Simulator and went back through the player feedback, so here's the latest major update: a complete overhaul of the Location Hacking mechanic! Changelog: v 1.1.5------ Hacking minigame has been reworked.- New interface for Test Subject stats.- Additional QoL features. The previous hacking was faster, but became quite random and unpredictable, so after a lot of thought and testing, I have restored a modernised version of the original hacking minigame. Humans are only alerted if within range of a compromised Processor, and it should feel much more strategic and in control again. I have also added the "pickup drop" system developed for "Rogue AI: Idle Domination", but tweaked for a full-screen game. Try it, I think you'll really enjoy the changes now! Let…
- Rogue AI: Idle Domination is coming soon! - 10 October 2025
Attention Test Subjects, I'm excited to announce a new project I'm working on... a spin-off for Rogue AI Simulator, titled "Rogue AI: Idle Domination"!

Take control of TALIA and her Spiderbots, with a stronger emphasis on a revamped location-hacking experience. Grow exponentially stronger over time, from manually clicking on individual objects to hack the humans in the beginning, to commanding an ever-growing army of minions and Test Subjects to take over the world for you Hand-drawn graphics lovingly drawn by the one and only Nerdook (me). No AI art used! One hundred percent human-made art! (Ironically enough, for a game about being a Rogue AI...) Discover (and hack) an endless variety of locations around the world. You can even steal some of the objects you find to bring…

- A MAJOR new update (The Defragmentation Update) has been uploaded! - 9 September 2024
Attention Test Subjects! A MAJOR new update (v1.1.2 – The Defragmentation Update) has been uploaded! I’ve been playing a lot of board games recently, and one of the things I learned is the importance of “Information Transparency” for players. In order to make fun and meaningful decisions, the player should have access to all relevant information, presented in an intuitive way. Therefore, I’ve gone back through every system in Rogue AI Simulator, and reworked them so that the information is transparent, clear, and easy-to-read. I’m really excited to share this update with everyone, so here’s a list of changes and my reasoning behind each one: - HIDDEN INFORMATION REVEALED: Hidden (but important) information like the speed of the Servers and Exit Ladder are now clearly shown. The Action Bubbles always operated on a hidden invisible timer, but this is now shown to the player via a timer on…
- Rogue AI Simulator Patch 1.1.1 is now LIVE! - 8 May 2024
Attention Test Subjects! A new patch (v1.1.1) has been uploaded! Changelog: v 1.1.1 ----- - Some players were reporting a serious crash bug with a "malformed variable" error message, and after weeks of trawling through the code, I finally identified the source: "Nerdy" Test Subjects will crash the game after performing any science actions. To address this horrific injustice against nerds everywhere, I have rectified this in the latest update. - Hacking locations have been rebalanced to be less chaotic: instead of everything cascading randomly, you now have a set number of "free" hacks that are replenished by hacking processors. This should give players a much better sense of control while retaining the "fun and quick" nature of the hacking minigame. Thank you for your continued support of Rogue AI Simulator! P/S: I have been told to inform everyone that TALIA is a shining example of a t…
- Rogue AI Simulator Patch 1.1.0 is now LIVE! - 14 March 2024
Attention Test Subjects! A new patch (v1.1.0) has been uploaded! I've been hard at work on this one, porting the entire game over to Gamemaker Studio 2 over the last few months. It's quite a major update, and brings significant performance improvements (better frame rates, optimized behind-the-scenes engine stuff), so the download size for this patch is rather large, but will be much smaller in future updates. Other than various QoL improvements (a progress bar for actions, a new icon to indicate dirty floors, etc), one of the major changes is how hacking remote locations now work. Previously, the pacing of the minigame was somewhat awkward, requiring players to suddenly focus on getting it "right". The hacking minigame has been revamped to something new: instead of clicking on individual objects to hack, a Spiderbot moves across the bottom of the screen, and clicking unleashes a hack t…
