Dev Box Interview: Silent Hill: Shattered Memories’ Producer Tomm Hulett

It usually takes a small army to create the video games that we play, and, most of the time, all of the focus gets put on the game itself, and not on the people that came together to make it. Our Dev Box interview series takes a look at some of the unsung heroes (developers, producers, artists, etc) that have committed their lives to entertaining all of us. In this week’s Dev Box we are letting Konami’s Producer Tomm Hulett, who recently looked on “Silent Hill: Shattered Memories” provide us some insight into who he is as a gamer, and how he ended up working in the game’s industry.
