    I've recently tried that and gave up (https://github.com/LambdaHack/LambdaHack/issues/248). Perhaps it's possible to statically link SDL2, but I learnt it's impossible to statically link the OpenGL and X11 libraries, so you end up with a partially statically linked binary (I didn't manage to obtain even that).

    I did some plotline sketches on the github wiki of my project, but never used them so far. Not much use from the other musings there, either. Instead I tweak the templates for procedural generation directly in the code (game content part of the code, to be precise) and get a lot of mileage out of that. The only page of the wiki I got lots of benefit from is the derivation of the simplified formula for calculating speed, distance and damage of projectile from their weight: https://github.com/LambdaHack/LambdaHack/wiki/Item-statistics#projectile-velocity-and-distance

    Around a decade. No, one release per 1-2 years. The differences are quite large, both gameplay and, even more, UI, in particular in using ready fornts, then custom fonts, then many fonts at once. See the changelogs (that's only for the egine, but that's where most of the changes are made): https://github.com/LambdaHack/LambdaHack/releases

    Most of my time has been put into creating that Arena content I keep going on about. Outside of that I also created a documentation markdown file (found here HERE) regarding the dialogue system. The document isn't complete, as a bunch of extra options/features aren't documented in it yet, but at over 2k words, I hope its a good start to understand the system haha.

    I've also been using GitHub's issue tracker to keep track of all the features and changes I still need to make to the game, so feel free to look through the projects tab to see what updates are planned for the future. Anything in the "In Review" column is in the Nightlies branch, just waiting for final review to be pulled in to the mainDev one.

    You can look at all of the source code for my project on my GitHub Repository. I've been using GitHub's issue tracker to keep track of all the features and changes I still need to make to the game, so feel free to look through the projects tab to see what updates are planned for the future. I strongly recommend that you don't try playing the game yet, as I am getting close to releasing my first real playable version of the game, and currently most of the content is just development tests to make sure various systems are working.
