Habitica creator here, randomly popping in. The Warrior set is the OG - it comes from Mozilla's BrowserQuest. When I started the Kickstarter, I had a bright-idea for programming and no art talent. I asked that team personally if I could use their assets, which are Creative Commons (their codebase open source). The project was to showcase the capabilities of JavaScript for game dev (this was around the death of Flash, think RuneScape). They said yes, generous as that foundation is.

Ask HN: Favourite Open Source Game?

Oh wow. Didn't expect anyone to remember. It was fun to program that one as the programming game for our local hacker conference and then seeing players compete. At some point later IIRC someone even wrote an somewhat advanced AI and created a small paper for it. The game should still be usable, but didn't get any love for a while now.
Fun anecdote: infon itself is a followup to my own teen programming project written in Quick Basic (see https://github.com/dividuum/infon/wiki/History) and all the Lua embedding and experience I gained from it ultimately ended up being used in a followup project (info-beamer) which is now at the core of my own company and my full-time job.
So write more games everyone!
