Hey, I'ts a long shot but, dont laugh. You may want to try and actually email maybe one of the game developers of your favorit game. I'm dead serious! Its better then posting that here. You wont find a whole lot of professional game developers on this forum. If you have a few days before you need the questions back I would definitally send them off to maybe 1 or 2 of your top choices, explaining your situation, along with the questions.
