Legend of the Fallen Warrior
An alpha warrior idle with CC-licensed art and a credits list longer than some AAA games.
by Tarnos (u/tarnos12) · 2015 · Web (GitHub Pages)
Legend of the Fallen Warrior is Tarnos's text-based warrior idle, in alpha since its 2015 announcement, notable first for its honesty about its own assets: David E. Gervais's monster images, Jason Lee's story text and Eric Matyas's music are all CC-credited, which is more formal attribution than most of this index's catalog has ever managed. It runs at idle-js-games (verified 200, last modified June 2016).
What the loop feels like
You fight, the warrior falls, and the legend resumes. That's Legend of the Fallen Warrior.
Playing it today
Live at the mirror, with the wordmark, background, monster sprites and race portraits above (the repo holds ~35 more sprites if the card ever needs them). Alpha status preserved honestly, defunct: false.
The verdict
A small alpha idle with exemplary asset hygiene: credit where credit is due, in writing, in the repo.
