This game, just played it, shamelessly uses all the same name and tiles for its monsters and items. Is there something going on here?

I think Crawl uses a FOSS tileset that is also used by other games.

Try Elona then. You'll be surprised how many item tiles from Crawl there.
Most of which also from nethack

This.

First time I ever saw a rune and it wasn't even in crawl. They're used as common minerals. On the world map, no less!

Laaaaaaaame.

Hi guys. I'm the developer of the game Virtual Pet Collector. I'm actually a really HUGE fan of DCSS, It's one of my two favorite games along with Dwarf Fortress.

I got the most of my early tiles from http://rltiles.sourceforge.net/ which claims they are in the public domain. I've replaced many of them with purchased artwork since the beginning but there are still many RLTiles in place. I don't really make any money from my game so it's taking a while to purchase better artwork for it.

I've also used the tiles in another game I made for 7DRL.

I believe I found out about them from RogueBasin.

I was under the impression these tiles were in the public domain to encourage new game development and make it easier for programmers to quickly get stuff out there. Am I wrong?

Hey, I was right!

No worries Timophy, this was just a post by one person who didn't realize that rltiles != DCSS property.
