It was an old project developed by ArtOfCode before the Codidact project even started: https://forum.codidact.org/t/i-have-an-se-clone-how-do-we-feel-about-building-on-that/74

(Why it was named QPixel specifically, I don't know.)

It used a different tech stack than the one the devs had agreed upon and started working. Eventually they decided to go with QPixel instead of the work in progress, to get to minimum viable product launch sooner: https://forum.codidact.org/t/progress-why-its-slow-and-what-were-doing-about-it/1149
