What's new in ADOM since 2010?

[Moult]

Hey all, been a while. Just wondering what's been new in the ADOM world. Things like:

1. Is ADOM still actively developed? Or is all the work on ADOM Ultimate? I assume JADE/iADOM/Adom2/etc have all been abandoned.
2. Where's ADOM's primary community now? In these forums? In the Steam forums now? Reddit? Another community site? I've noticed Rogue League but it seems empty.
3. Is there still an active live IRC (or other) chat? Freenode's #adom channel no longer seems to be around, nor on Libera.
4. Is there still a game server you can SSH to? Like Jaakos' (or mine) server back in the day? Or have we all moved on to Steam, and if so, is there an active network play community?
5. What have the latest changes been to ADOM? More details? Just more items/mobs? New locations? Changed overall goal? Incremental or clear evolution to something new?
6. I don't have a numpad. Can I play with Vi-keys? (I tried, but I had to hunt down unofficial kbd configs and merge them, and portions of the game still seem to have numbers hardcoded which makes it very awkward to play ... I recall I used to be able to play with Vi-keys 10 years ago, so maybe something is now broken?)

Cheers folks, wonder if any of the old names are still around.

1. Not really. Been a while since the last patch to UADOM, even. ADOM II is officially dead.
2. The ADOM channel in the r/roguelikes discord is probably the most active. https://discord.com/invite/t9cVHhj
3. Not that I'm aware of (never was much into IRC though).
4. Not for recent versions. I think there might still be some for 1.1.1.
5. https://ancardia.fandom.com/wiki/Changes_Since_1.1.1 - not all the changes are there, but a decent overview.
6. NotEye has some settings for vi keys that might work CTRL+m k k (NotEye menu -> configure input -> letters as directions). Probably will still need some adom.kbd work, but at least the vi keys will work everywhere.

I have moved on from ADOM, but I was very active here and on IRC in the day, and it seems things have changed a lot. This forum is almost deserted (no YAVPs since December, most of the old names are inactive), #adom and the SSH servers are gone, little going on in the bug tracker... maybe everyone's on Reddit and Discord now

ADOM II is officially dead.

Got a source for that? I know ADOM II was put on indefinite hiatus after the crowdfunding campaign, but big promises were made for it. There was even mention of an ADOM MMORPG too.

Thanks. So dead but not completely dead, just reshaped and refocused into Ultimate ADOM

howdy there (only 5 months late)

I have a vi-keys setup with a header that explains everything; you can find it attached. The only commands that don't respect custom keybindings are look, throw/shoot, and order allies which are hard-coded to numpad. cf. https://www.adom.de/forums/project.php?issueid=6543. Since throw/shoot can use +/-, look is the only command that's truly awkward to play with. FIQ also has a good setup based on Nethack that's linked at https://www.adom.de/forums/project.php?issueid=5116

ADOM Deluxe has diagonal movement by combining arrow keys.
