MMOG website Ten Ton Hammer has interviewed Wes Platt, writer/content developer for Fallen Earth. Wes joined the development team in 2006, and has spent over a decade involved in the online roleplaying community. He is the creator of the OtherSpace and Necromundus MUDs, as well as a columnist for several MUD community websites, along with other projects during that time.<blockquote>Micajah: Tell us a little bit about the story you’re formulating for Fallen Earth. It’s a post apocalyptic world where people are trying to rebuild, obviously. Are there any “main” characters? What kind of civilization do these people currently have? What sort of world is this, besides “post-apocalyptic”?
Wes: We do tend to have main characters among the NPCs, from town leaders to prominent members of the six factions, which the players will get to know during the course of their adventures in the Grand Canyon Province.
The civilization is one you might expect to find in such circumstances: Different groups of people with competing agendas, settling in and rebuilding amidst the ruins of the world that fell, struggling just to get enough resources to survive. Times are grim; people are desperate. But the game wouldn't be much fun to play if it was just dark and gloomy all the time. It has moments of light-hearted fun and humor. It also offers a good bit of hope, here and there.</blockquote>Hopefully Fallen Earth can do well with the specifics of their world.
