iDate Online Interactive Dating

[arielgamedev]

Self-Introduction:

Hello everyone,

I’m a developer aiming to revive an old game with a passionate fanbase in the Philippines, inactive since 2015. I specialize in Full-Stack Development but am new to reverse engineering and emulator development, and I'm eager to learn from this community.

Project Overview:

I’m developing a server emulator for the iDate game using Node.js due to my comfort with JavaScript. Eventually, I plan to transition to C# for the official emulator, as I'm familiar with that language and have seen emulators built in C# aside from C++.

Current Progress:
1. I bypassed the X-Trap protection, though it still connects to the X-Trap server and may disconnect users after a few minutes on the login page.
2. I created a simple Python script to run the game.
3. I connected the client to my Node.js server.
4. I'm working on decoding and encoding login packets while investigating the encryption used in the client.

Challenges:
1. I'm learning to sniff packets from the client and planning to create a packet sniffer tool specifically for this game, but I need guidance on where to start.
2.My debugging skills are basic, but I’m committed to improving.

If anyone is interested in this project, please reach out to me on Discord (maest1586). I’d love to collaborate and potentially create a dedicated Discord server. Any ideas or assistance would be appreciated! Note that the source code will only be available to contributors.

I hope you can bring this game back. Many Titas and Titos are eagerly waiting for it, and we’re willing to pay for a subscription if needed.

Bringing back a game with such a dedicated fanbase is a big deal, and I bet a lot of people will be excited to see it up and running again. If you’re looking for more ways to connect with people interested in gaming or even finding folks who might want to join, platforms like

can be handy for building something more than just connections.

Totally agree, the game was unique. Really want to see it return, subscription is not a problem if the quality is maintained.
