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.

Stepmania 5.1 beta 2
Problems to play some songs ports made by MrThatKid4
1 project | /r/Stepmania | 14 Feb 2023

It means the lowest version you could use to play those files is the last build stepmania, stepmania 5.1b2 (https://github.com/stepmania/stepmania/releases/tag/v5.1.0-b2)
Does anyone know why StepMania is lagging so much for? Is there a way fix this problem? My frame rate is so low. Outfox runs fine, but StepMania doesn’t which makes no sense.

Original StepMania is still around, I recommend using version 5.1-b2: https://github.com/stepmania/stepmania/releases/tag/v5.1.0-b2

Ok I did it, I took the dive into an L-Tek, whats new?
1 project | /r/Stepmania | 14 Dec 2022

I would recommend grabbing 5.1 from here: https://github.com/stepmania/stepmania/releases/tag/v5.1.0-b2 Don't worry about the "beta" label, this version is very stable but it never got a proper release because the development team sort of fell apart after that.
