Apogea Q&A With Lead Developer
Apogea is one of my favourite MMO's! It brings back so many feelings that only the original Runescape, Tibia and World of Warcraft Classic could create. I was fortunate enough to interview the Lead Developer for this project and got some really good insight for the entire project!
Hope you enjoy the video!
