History of Databrawl/Pre-Databrawl

September 2017
The first ever concept of the Databrawl game was created by DuncanDunclub (Project Head) and Saezi (Co-Creator) when one of their previous games called "Protest Simulator" got shut down by ROBLOX for "hate speech" due to the fact that the protesters in the game could change their protesting signs to say various messages (some of them being inappropriate and/or mean-spirited, presumably).

When Protest Simulator got shut down, DuncanDunclub and Saezi had a voting poll where they asked their fans what direction they would like the "replacement" version of Protest Simulator to take. There were 4 options, with the top two picked options being "Food fight" and "Computer world". The direction that won was "computer world", with "food fight" coming in close second. And thus, concepts for Databrawl (AKA "computer world") began to be born.

DuncanDunclub and Saezi started coming up with titles for the game, with Saezi originally having the idea of calling the game "Mainframe", and DuncanDunclub coming up with the idea of calling the game "Databrawl". Ultimately, the title "Databrawl" was chosen to be the name of the game.

DuncanDunclub and Saezi began to design the base four Data-species: Virus, Malware, Program, and Firewall Security, who each were corresponding fill-ins for the original four teams in Protest Simulator (The Viruses and Malware corresponded to the red and blue protesters, respectively. Meanwhile, the Programs and Firewalls corresponded to the citizens and police force, respectively.). They also began to design the Brawler counterparts of the Viruses, Malware, and Firewall Security. During this time period, the Brawlers were instead referred to as "Brutes", since they were the stand-ins for the Brutes that were once in the original Protest Simulator.
