''Them's Fightin' Herds'' is an upcoming fighting game developed by Mane6, featuring cartoon ungulates fighting each other to find a champion worthy of gaining a magical key that will protect their world from predators. The game was initially developed under the title of ''Fighting Is Magic'', as an unofficial fan project starring the characters of the television series ''My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic''. After receiving a cease and desist letter from Hasbro for infringing their intellectual property rights, the development team discarded the original premise, game engine, and art assets, and began development on ''Them's Fightin' Herds'' as an original work with new characters. Lauren Faust, who had created the characters for ''Friendship Is Magic'', stepped in to create new characters for the game. The development team, Mane6, consisted of nine volunteers who were fans of ''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic''.〔 The game attracted the attention of the Evolution Championship Series due to its atypical gameplay for the fighting genre, which features playable four-legged non-humanoid characters. The game successfully completed obtaining funding through Indiegogo crowd-funding campaign, with a scheduled release sometime in April 2017. A separate effort created by fans not associated with the Mane6 team released their ''Fighting Is Magic: Tribute Edition'' of the original Mane6 My Little Pony-inspired game in early 2014. These games were made from various beta assets of the original which Mane6 developed in the first two years, and were later leaked by other parties. == Gameplay and plot == ''Them's Fightin' Herds'' is a fighting game based on sentient four-legged hoofed creatures from the world of Fœnum, which is being threatened by the return of carnivorous beasts known as the Predators. The Predators were locked away in a separate realm, but they have found a way to escape it. To put an end to the threat, selected champions of the various Fœnum races are chosen as "Key Seekers" by their tribes to find the key that will lock the Predators away again. The Key Seekers must face each other in friendly competition to determine which one will be the Key Keeper who will face the champion of the Predators. The game uses a four-button fighting system: a button each for light, medium, heavy, and magic attacks, and will include staple fighting game maneuvers such as launchers, pushblocks, and cross-ups. There will be six playable characters—Arizona the cow, Velvet the reindeer, Paprika the alpaca, Oleander the unicorn, Pom the sheep and Tianhuo the longma—each with different fighting move sets and unique movement options such as flight, short hops, double jumps, or air dashes, and a seventh boss character. A seventh playable character, a yet-named goat, will also be available following the game's launch, due to the crowd funding campaign reaching its stretch goals. The game will support both local and online multiplayer via a near-isometric pixel art lobby system. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Them's Fightin' Herds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
