Them's Funding Herds! · 9:02pm Oct 20th, 2015
If you guys haven't hear yet Mane 6, the team originally responsible of creating the "My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic" fan-game before Hasbro issued a C&D on them near the end, had started a fund raising event at Indiegogo to get their original IP "Them's Fightin' Herds" with the help of Laura Faust, the creator of the Friendship is Magic series, with original characters has gotten their game funded! ^_^
I'm so excited and happy for them that they will be able to give the attention and effort their game really needs to make it a possibility and polished now and I cannot wait when it comes out, and they reached their first stretch goal which is port versions for Linux and Mac! Hooray and good job for them.

And here's their celebration video:
A toast to Mane 6 and Laura Faust and I cannot wait for this game when it is ready! ^_^
Here's a quick sketch I made in celebration of their success, I watched their celebration video and I wanted to do a sketch myself of a random animal character based on their four-legged fighting game, which took me about 3 minutes to make:
Which character are you going to mane? I'm looking forward to playing either the Deer or Dragon-Horse one.
[UPDATE]
We have reached 460k and more for this kickstarting event and so we got both the 7th character, The Goat, and her Story Mode + Stage! For all those you contributed to this event you guys are awesome! Good luck backers! ^_^
I was surprised that Lauren Faust took interest in the project when it got the C&D order from Hasbro. The fan base was devastated when that happened. (some took it harder than others) Hopefully, this time the project will succeed.

Yup! Looking forward to it!
I do hope they get that Goat character in! Only one day left until it closes.
