One such build started in June 2013, by an individual known online under the alias 'WindowsLogic', with the initial codename 'Dark Chocolate'. Not having much experience in 2D Fighter Maker 2002, it was supposed to be a test version and was never intended to be released to the public. Many builds based off of Mane6's unfinished product started appearing such as Ponychan's Build and Iwanabrawl Build (which was the created by the same development team as Tribute Edition).
Development on the revival of the original fan-game started in earnest by several groups of fans. There were plans by various groups in the fandom for an attempt to finish the highly anticipated fan-game after Mane6 officially announced on February 2013 that they are cancelling the original My Little Pony fan-game due to a cease and desist letter by Hasbro, albeit had since restarted development using an original IP.
