We'll give this to developer Dark Energy Digital: it refuses to let
Hydrophobia sink into the abyss without a fight. Late last year, the studio released the "
Pure" update, which was one of the most substantial post-launch overhauls ever performed on a game. Now, the company is activating the "Hydrophobia Listening Post," asking the community what it wants from the game universe (and, likely, its
planned sequels).
The Listening Post is
presented as a series of questions on the
Hydrophobia game site that seeks to incorporate player feedback into development. Creative director Pete Jones says the company was "absolutely blown away" by the response to Pure and believes "there should be a two-way relationship between developer and players."
If you still haven't dipped your toes into
Hydrophobia (whose price was permanently dropped to 800 points [$10] on Xbox Live Arcade last month alongside the update), the game will be ripe for more feedback when it goes
on sale next week for $5.
