About
Them’s Fightin’ Herds is an upcoming two-dimensional fighting game developed by Mane6 with assistance from Lauren Faust. The game is the spiritual successor to the Fighting Is Magic project, which was cancelled due to the development team receiving a cease and desist order from Hasbro.
History and Developments
The project began as Fighting Is Magic, a fan-made fighting game based on the characters and settings of the animated television series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Development of the game began in the spring of 2011 by a team called Mane6. On February 8th, 2013, it was announced that Mane6 had received a cease and desist letter from Hasbro, owners of the My Little Pony franchise, effectively ending work on the project.
The following day, Friendship is Magic’s creator Lauren Faust offered over Twitter[3] to assist the Mane6 in creating an entirely original set of characters.
