It's middle of the summer vacations, so the pace has slowed down a bit. Well, looking at all the promos we're running and the recent releases you can't really say it's "silly season" at GOG.com, but you know what we mean. We decided to take a more in-depth look at the games we've released, especially the ones from Electronic Arts, and chat with some of the developers that made those classics.

Thanks to our own Silencer - Vagabond - we got in touch with Tony Zurovec, the lead designer of Crusader games, and asked him some questions about these awesome classics. As we love getting you involved in pretty much everything we do, we'd like you to ask your questions about Crusader: No Remorse to Tony. We'll pick 5 most interesting ones and forward them to him to get the answers, while the authors of those questions will receive a GOG.com game of their choice(this includes the awesome The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings!). Post your questions in the comments section until end of Sunday, July 24th.
Thank you all for contributing. Now I need to go through 11 pages of questions and pick the best ones! :)

I'll let ya'll know who gets to pick their free games later on.
Ok, so I have finally chosen the 5 questions that has been submitted to Tony. The lucky authors of those questions are F4LL0UT, Tallima, heylonghair, Ghegs and Roman5! Thanks and congrats! Just PM me with the games you'd like to get and I'll take care of the rest.

Thank you all for contributing, I'm sure if Tony looks at this thread he'll be proud of you. And for all you who are curious what the questions were, here they are:

What's the actual relationship to the Wing Commander series (or maybe even other Origin games)? Crusader is using the same dating system as the WC games (and placing it before those, as far as I remember) and the WEC is being mentioned in the WC series as part of terran history. Did you just add some WC references as easter eggs to the Crusader games or did you actually think of them as part of the same universe?

We've all heard the stories about game development that modern developers talk about. The hard push toward the deadline, the sleepless nights and the piles of Mountain Dew. Was it the same for older games like Crusader: No Remorse? Got any good stories you remember from the final push?

What is your perception of the current state of computer games?

When was the last time you played through the games yourself? Do you still find them fun to play?

When I played the game, one of the things that I really liked about it (and games in general) is the music. During the development of Crusader: No Remorse how did you implement the music/sound effects around the environment and gameplay? Was the music inspired by anything and was there something that you wanted to Put in the game in terms of Sound but didn't make it in the end?

Let's hope Tony will answer all of them.

I've clearly contaminated your English with my made-up Southern words. I apologize. :P

tburger: These are all fine questions (congrats to the authors) but how could you miss this one?

ChaunceyK: Have to admit, that's a damn good question.
Ok, I might add that one if Tony gets back to me with the answers and is willing to answer that one. And I submitted couple of my own questions as well so there should be plenty of interesting info on the Crusader games if everything goes good :)

btw still waiting for those PMs from the winners!!!
