i’m looking for a good codebase for creating a new game with the ioquake3 engine. my main worry at this point is finding a pre-existing “stripped” version of game/cgame/ui that gives you a minimal starting point rather than starting from the Q3A code. any advice or resources? thanks.

Please take a look at these links for help understanding the engine if you haven’t already: Essential links for beginners
There is no minimal starting point in terms of assets yet, it is still an unfulfilled goal of the project. The code does not really need to be stripped down, because the code is freely available unlike the assets which are still for sale and proprietary as part of the original game package.
I wasn’t asking about assets, but rather a stripped down version of the QVM game libraries that give you a basic 3D first person game template without all the Q3A specific code behaviours. This is rather hard to find with idTech-adjascent game engines, unfortunately. The only other one I know of that has it is the FTEQW engine, which I’ve worked with essentially.
I will probably end up making my own template like this as my game develops. Thanks for the help though!
