Hello, adventurers! It’s time for a quick Mouseborn production update.
Surveys Are Out
Surveys have gone out for most backers! If you haven’t completed yours yet, make sure to fill it out so we have everything we need to finalize your order and keep it moving through production.
Backers who use the pay-over-time option may not receive their survey until payments are completed. Be on the lookout for those!
Creature Prototypes 👀
We also have a few fun little sneak peeks to share from production!
Take a look at some early prototype models of the creatures from Mouseborn…
Mouse Rogue Miniature
Rat Berserker Miniature
Rat Rotweaver Miniature
Mouse Ranger Miniature
These are still early production samples, but it’s always exciting to see the characters start to take shape!
Thanks for your continued support and patience as we bring Mouseborn to life. We’ll be back with more updates as production continues. 🐭
The next step in the Mouseborn journey is almost here. We're beginning survey testing!
Over the next few days, we'll be sending out a small batch of smoke test surveys. This is a standard part of the process where a limited number of backers receive their surveys first, allowing us to make sure everything is working properly before we send them to everyone.
If you don't receive a survey right away, don't worry! Assuming everything goes smoothly, the remaining surveys will follow shortly after.
Keep an eye on your inbox for an email from BackerKit.
When your survey arrives, you'll be able to: 🐭 Confirm your shipping information 🐭 Review your pledge and unlocked rewards 🐭 Add any available extras or upgrades 🐭 Make sure everything looks correct before fulfillment begins
If you missed the campaign, or know someone who did, there's still time to join the adventure and reserve your copy of Mouseborn.
Whether you're joining the ranks of the Mice, Rats, Moles, Frogs, Salamanders, Birds, Bats, Hedgehogs, or Hercules Beetles, your adventure is just beginning.
Thank you again for helping bring Mouseborn to life. We can't wait to take the next step with you, and we'll continue sharing updates as production progresses!
We’re back with a small but very exciting post-campaign announcement…
When we reached our stretch goal to introduce a new playable creature, we promised we’d reveal who would be joining the lineup. The only problem?
We couldn’t choose.
So we asked ourselves again: Why choose just one?
We’re thrilled to officially introduce the full Mouseborn playable character lineup:
🐭 Mouse 🐀 Rat 🦡 Mole 🐸 Frog 🦎 Salamander 🪶 Bird 🦇 Bat 🦔 Hedgehog 🪲 Hercules Beetle
That’s right. Both the Hedgehog and Hercules Beetle have joined the adventure.
Mouseborn Hedgehog
You all helped make the forest a little bigger with NINE total playable creatures.
Thank you for sharing your ideas, your excitement, and your love for this world with us. The Old Forest is more magical because you helped shape it. 🌲❤️

A quiz for wanderers, warriors, schemers, and suspiciously intellectual woodland creatures.
The Old Forest stands divided.
The Mouse King calls for order and tradition, the Rat King promises survival through change, the rivers darken, the roots tremble, and the skies whisper of omens overhead.
And somehow, against all odds, your tiny self has become involved.

🔑 How to Calculate Your Total
Each answer is tied to a creature of the Old Forest.

Whichever creature you picked the MOST is your Mouseborn race.
If you tie, the Forest contains multitudes, and apparently so do you.
