Tomm Hulett is a game designer and director who has spent his career championing bold, narrative-driven experiences. While at Konami, he worked on multiple Silent Hill titles, including Book of Memories, a critically acclaimed reimagining of the franchise. On the internet, however, his name became linked with the struggles of later Silent Hill games. This made him the target of intense online harassment—even though many of the series' creative decisions were out of his hands. Since he left Konami, more than a decade ago, he has worked on beloved cult titles like Contra: Operation Galuga and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Today he continues to push storytelling in games in new and unexpected directions as a direct at the California-based studio WayForward Technologies.

Tomm Hulett, the visionary Game Director and Producer at Wayforward, drops in for a Q&A discussion interview, where he shares some of his experience, knowledge and insight as he reveals all the reasons why hungry Contra fans should be excited and well prepared. Why? Because we're gonna get served a side-scrolling, shooter-smorgasbord when the studio's latest project, Contra: Operation Galuga drops on March 12! Contra: Operation Galuga is a 2 to 4 players co-op, run and gun reimaging of the first Contra and represents a reboot for the franchise with added new characters and exciting gameplay features! With Wayforward's 30 years of proven excellence combined with Tomm's personal experience (which includes the development of Contra 4) it's no surprise why Konami handpicked them to ensure the Contra IP is properly revived for this modern era of gaming!

Spidersaurs Director Interview Bet you were looking (way)forward to this one. This week on the NXpress Nintendo Podcast, Cameron Daxon, Marc Kaliroff, and Campbell Gill are joined by a very special guest–WayForward's own Tomm Hulett, director of the inventive run-and-gun Spidersaurs, which recently saw its debut on Switch. In this wide-ranging interview, the gang picks Tomm's about all things spiders, dinosaurs, and everything in-between. Spidersaurs is a tribute to the classic run'n'guns of yesteryear, taking place in a dystopian future where spiders and dinosaurs have been fused together for disastrous effect. Tomm reveals how the project came to be, describes what it's like to revisit the game for its console release, and hints at what the future of the run'n'gun genre might hold. Along the way, the gang also digs into Tomm's previous game development experience, spanning industry figureheads like Konami and Atlus–and how much of that background culminated in Spidersaurs. All this and more in this interview of Jurassic proportions!

Joining Leon for this interview extra is WayForward Technologies‘ Game Director, Tomm Hulett.

On this special episode of the Whispers in The Dark podcast, Whitney and I talk to Tomm Hulett and Adam Tierney, the producer and director of Silent Hill: Book of Memories, respectively. Silent Hill: Book of Memories is the newest spinoff in the Silent Hill series. Rather than being a traditional Silent Hill title, BoM is an isometric multiplayer dungeon crawler on the Playstation Vita and because of its drastic gameplay differences, a lot of fans have been wary on accepting the game into the series. Their outcry is hard to ignore. Whitney and I talked to both Tomm and Adam about the feedback from fans, gameplay features, the story, and the game's inception. If you've been on the fence with BoM you might want to sit back and take a listen to the show. The two BoM developers give us the skinny on what they believe to be the most personalized Silent Hill to date.
