A portion of a Game Informer interview with Konami producer Tomm Hulett and Climax game director Mark Simmons…
GI: Can you talk about the decisions that led to the nightmare world getting a complete overhaul, from its former “blood and rust” look to its current “sterile ice” presentation?
Simmons: There isn’t much that exists in Shattered Memories that doesn’t have a story telling reason for being there. The ice and snow form a key part of the narrative language within the game and once you’ve played through the game and have considered the story you’ll understand why it forms a natural backdrop to the nightmare world. It also gave us plenty of opportunities to push the hardware of the platforms with some amazing rendering effects, refractive ice, some amazing snow effects, solid ice that shimmers in the flashlight beam, and advanced lighting that accurately reproduces the light and shadow from the snow and ice. We also felt strongly that the extreme cold and ice would support a strong sense of isolation and lack of life to create an atmosphere where you’d feel really on your own in an oppressive world adding to the terror of the nightmare experience.

SEGA needs to find a way to get Moonwalker onto the Virtual Console and Virtual Console Arcade. It would be a great way to show appreciation for Mr. Jackson’s contributions to the gaming world. All the revenue from the downloads could go to help out his children, which I think would be a fitting contribution.
