Wes Platt is the creator and chief developer of text-based online games at jointhesaga.com.
He was born on September 22, 1966. He's a 1984 graduate of Winter Park High School and a 1992 graduate of the University of South Florida. He worked from 1991 to 2003 as a reporter and editor for the St. Petersburg Times. He left journalism to focus on the development of Chiaroscuro, an original-theme fantasy roleplaying game.
In 2004, he wrote the first official OtherSpace novel as part of National Novel Writing Month. OtherSpace: Red-Eye Flight is available as an ebook and in paperback from Cafepress.com. This is believed to be the first novel based on an RPG MUSH - as opposed to the usual MUSH based on an established work of fiction.
He has been a longtime contributor to discussions at Top MUD Sites. He has been profiled in the Tampa Tribune and has appeared on Orlando's Radio Sci-Fi show. He also has done freelance writing for OrlandoCityBeat.com.
For six months, in 2005-2006, he lived in Washington state, near the Oregon border, where he worked as a technical writer and started development of a new text game, called Necromundus.
He now lives in North Carolina, working for Icarus Studios as a writer on their Fallen Earth MMORPG project.
