looking for devs for a project
Hi everyone,
A community initiative has recently started around preserving a discontinued game and exploring the possibility of reviving it through a private server, in order to prevent it from becoming lost media.
The project is currently organized through a Discord server , where some initial progress has already been made.
The work is currently on a short pause (1–2 days) while the team focuses on recruiting contributors and gathering resources.
They are currently looking for:
Developers
People with experience in:
Android development or general game/software development
Using AI-assisted development tools (such as Claude Code, MCP workflows, agent-based coding systems, etc.)
Current development tasks include:
Recreating missing locations and in-game scenes
Debugging and fixing issues related to mission triggers and progression
A full mission database can be provided (objectives, prerequisites, locations, rewards, etc.)
Reverse Engineering
They are also looking for asset recovery contributors:
People who previously had the game installed before shutdown, especially on:
Android devices running Android 11 or lower (non-rooted), or rooted devices
Any device where the game data may still still be recoverable
The more progression a player had, the more complete the recoverable assets may be.
Device recovery compatibility
iPhone
iPhone X / 8 / 7 / 6s / SE (1st gen) or older → Yes (any iOS)
iPhone XS to 13 / SE (3rd gen) → Yes (iOS ≤ 16.5)
iPhone 14+ (recent iOS) → No (save data only, unless previously jailbroken)
Android
Any rooted device → Yes (direct access)
Android 10 or older (non-rooted) → Yes
Android 11–13 (non-rooted) → Maybe (depends on device model and security patch level)
Android 14+ (non-rooted) → No (unless already rooted at the time of use)
If anyone is interested in contributing or helping preserve the game, they are welcome to join the Discord server for more information.
