Just to let you know, I'm not in favour of bothering development teams, so I would like to request that you do not mention my site or my forum, please. Thanks.

EDIT: While I think of it, I didn't see any reason to mention this before, but I tried to contact Jez San earlier in the year, regarding possible open-sourcing of the games' code, but I never received a reply.

I wont mention the forum I respect your wishes. I did mention however that there are fans whom are interested and may want to ask a few questions. I didn't mention anything about source-codes as that typically scares off Dev's (from past experiences this is what I learned.)

I've just asked him if he would spare some time to answer some questions. I will also likely ask him if he might have anything related to the games if he does contact me back, and ask if he is still in contact with any of the other Dev's (it's surprising how long they keep in contact for.)

I agree with Willy, I think they shouldn't be bothered with the subject. I fear to say this but it's a truth we must accept: What's done it's done.

You make it sound like he's pestering them over committing a crime. I haven't read any of the messages myself, but it sounds like they were excited to hear from him.

I haven't updated the list here but we contacted a half dozen original developer's under another forum name. All of them were excited to hear that there are still fans out there and the programmers were delighted to hear that I was working with Andre to try and make modding tools for the original game.
Infact, John Edelson said he would try and get in touch with Jez San for us he even showed us a picture of his own private Croc 1 Promo Poster which was framed and on the wall.

That's not what I wanted to mean. And besides, Croc is abandonware for 6 years.

rexhunter99 got positive replies?

My fear about the developers was other but if they don't mind... I think I will support this idea.

That's...actually pretty neat.
Although I personally don't think I'd want to modify the game. I think it just kind of ruins the feel. If anything, I'd rather just use my ideas to create a new game.
