Lilium Arena was established in 2021 with the intention of providing releases of a lightly modified ioquake3 to better match zturtleman's vision and to be the base for Lilium Arena Classic. In October 2025, zturtleman moved his primary development for Quake 3 1.32 to Lilium Arena and made it the base for all Quake 3 projects under Clover.moe.

## Derivatives
121+
122+
If you create a derivative project that you plan for others to use, it would be preferred to give it a different title such as "Lilium Arena (_your name_ ver.)" to make it easier to discuss and reduce confusion with the project maintained by Clover.moe.
123+
124+
If you're going to pick a different title, it would be preferred that you pick a different song title to build on rather than use the word Lilium. (Lilium is the title of the opening song of the 2004 anime series Elfen Lied.)
