About the only big thing I'd probably change would be YAML or TOML for the configurations over hjson.

Seems like some pragmatic tool selection... I am curious how their turn around time was compared to something like MonoGame, Unity or other rapid development options.

Overall, very cool to see this list and the openness.

I tried YAML for another game prototype in the meantime. I like it as well but I feel the whitespace syntax can be very error prone if not all your team members come from a technical background and know about whitespace settings in the editor.
