Everything looks fine in the Tiled screenshot. Can you post a link to a zip of your mod (or send me the link via private message)? Where you're not using the exact same tileset as the one in fantasycore, I think there might be something wrong with your tilesetdef.
We'll be releasing a new website soon. The blog will no longer be the focus of the main page, but will instead be its own section. The main page will be used to introduce Flare to newcomers and provide download links. It will also showcase our game content and the game content from the community.
I can see that the campaign is coming to the end, which is a shame, I presume that it can be finished with a level 20 character max. But for now my biggest complain is reusing assets - one sound for goblins' death, one sound for them getting hit, one for hero getting hit etc., it gets pretty annoying after playing whole campaign. It doesn't bother me as much in terms of graphics, just audio.
One of the hurdles for fixing this was engine support for multiple randomized sound effects. This has been implemented. We can now experiment with alternate sounds for the player and enemies. Completely new sounds would be ideal, but maybe something like pitch tweaks to the existing sounds would be sufficient variety.
Unfortunately, the person who provided our Mac version in the past does not have a recent version of OS X as far as I know. It's hard to know from your screenshot if simply rebuilding, linking to a newer version of SDL, or changing some of the Flare code would fix the problem. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.
Keep in mind that this tutorial is written for the latest version of the Flare engine from Github. So many newer features won't work. Thankfully, the map format hasn't changed drastically since 0.19, so the tutorial might still work if you aren't interested in compiling the development version of Flare.
Don't worry about minicore. It is intended for handheld devices that don't have much memory for higher resolution textures. You don't need to enable it if you're playing on a normal computer.

Can you post a screenshot of what it looks like in Tiled and what it looks like in Flare?

We use Tiled for creating maps. It is a separate, open-source, program that has support for exporting to Flare's map format.
I recently wrote a map creation tutorial for Flare using Tiled:

This bug was fixed in SDL 2.0.7. So update to that if you can.
So this appears to be a sound bug in SDL 2.0.6. You can try downgrading to SDL 2.0.5, which has no crashes on my end.
I can confirm a crash there, but I'm not sure yet about a fix. I've opened an issue for it on Github: https://github.com/clintbellanger/flare-engine/issues/1516

You can safely leave trait_elemental out, as it only affects powers that do damage.
