Keeping EverQuest Alive, 25 Years Later - MinnMax Spotlight

MinnMax's Ben Hanson travels to San Diego, California to meet EverQuest's lead artist and logo designer Kevin Lydy and learn from the head of Darkpaw Games/EverQuest 1 and 2's executive producer Jenn Chan all about how the studio is keeping the groundbreaking MMO EverQuest alive after 25 years. EverQuest is the oldest video game in active development. As always, thanks for supporting independent games media on Patreon and letting us creating unique content like this!
