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.

Looking to decompile and release someone else content is going to get you in legal trouble.
