I feel like the title is woefully misleading. This is just a hello world tutorial.

Yes, it is a bit. Sorry for that. However, it is modeled after a similar series for Clojure (http://stevelosh.com/blog/2012/07/caves-of-clojure-01/) and Java (http://trystans.blogspot.com/2011/08/roguelike-tutorial-01-j...) which also do a Hello World first post. Part 2 will have a movable sprites on a map!

Considering it's part one in the series, it's not unreasonable.

It's not unreasonable for the first part to be simple, but you might be better off writing the first 2 or 3 parts, then releasing them all at once to get things rolling.
