The Ponies is actually going to be a game · 6:54am Nov 15th, 2019
Creating and controlling OC ponies just like Sims is going to come true and it is expected to be complete around 2023. No MLP:FIM characters will be included in order to avoid a cease-and-desist order from Hasbro.
Well my time gonna get wasted playing that game, wonder if they gonna include other species, so I can mess with the local as a changeling. A changeling accountant. Good move for them for avoiding MLP:FIM characters, god knows what happen with fighting is magic. We can't lose this gold mine to corporate junkies.

According to the FAQs, the first version will have ponies only. Updated versions would hopefully include other species.

Let all hope Hasbro and the dreaded EA decided not to pull out the cease-and-desist shit on this project, since it every close to Sim

Fighting is Magic will be called Them's Fightin' Herds and you can check on the game's updates on Mane6, Inc.'s Twitter account

Shame we can't have the actual mlp characters in either of those games due to issues though..

Sad isn't, we can't enjoy stuff without a corporate messing up the fun, I'm just glad that pony town didn't get the red stare from the suit-wearing apes, since there's a lot of MLP characters roaming around. Then again the customization is dope, so much that you can make your OC into a rock or a flamingo while staying as a four-legged creature.

I hate it how they will screw with people's fun even if the project in question isn't making money off of anyone.
Doesn't help theres stuck-ups who act all superior on anyone who's complaining by going "You are in the wrong and an idiot for not understanding since this is the law, deal with it". That's the impression I am getting from those guys.

*nod* you ain't wrong with that assumption, they will use the law against anyone, even though they have so many violations as long they get their cold-hearted cash they don't care. Even though the fan project can be beneficial in the long run for them, they get hissy fit that they didn't think of it first or get any recognition even though they didn't do anything to help.

Sadly if a project removes the characters in order to avoid copyright bs, then the corporates kind of won anyway since now the fan-game won't have us interact with the characters we love such as Luna or Spike.
Copyright is such a huge confusing thing.
Honestly I kept having thoughts of fan-games featuring Luna or Spike but not sure how to make them come to life.

Yep, it's difficult to make a fan game when that game become very popular that they garner their attention. Rarely they let a fan game be, fortunately they don't touch fan music, animation and arts, cause they know if they did their empire will collapse. Lucky there's still fan-made games around like prologue, pony town and more he'll even some NSFW game if you're lucky to find one.

Wondering if there is any fangames featuring Luna or Spike?(or both?)
