Fighting is Magic- Nice job breaking it QA tester.
tl;dr
The game will continue as planned. Bite size updates will NOT be being released in the foreseeable future, and no updates will be posted to the site. No further beta or QA program will be considered until Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are done being developed. Also, no major content updates will be posted to the site.
This irks me. I really enjoyed reading the Bite-Size updates, and I enjoyed the streams from the various cons. I completely understand their choice here, and I'm just glad they aren't canceling the game.
Also, HA. Beat you by two minutes EQD.

As you might be aware today, one of our QAs broke our trust and a NDA agreement, and leaked a working build of Fighting is Magic to the Internet. As a result, our Internal QA testing program has been terminated.
The unfinished version of Fighting is Magic is, needless to say, unsupported. We won't answer any questions relative to it, we won't give technical support to it, we won't discuss mechanics or graphic details from it, given its status as a leaked, unfinished, internal testing build, which happened to be leaked just right before a major update was pushed to our now closed QA test program.
We're very, very disappointed in those we gave our trust to. We're also very disappointed in those downloading and distributing the leaked version.
Teaches us a lesson, though.
For now, Fighting is Magic will be going on a closed development cycle. No further QA, Alpha, Beta or testing program will be started or maintained until we have the remaining two characters done for the initial build. In addition BSUs will be cancelled, and no major content-related updates to the website will be forthcoming until further notice, while we at Mane6 deal with this situation and discuss changes for the future of the project.
That's all for now.

P.s. Don't worry, the game is still in the works. We're just dealing with the current situation.
