So what happens when a VR content creator is given the opportunity to create his own VR game? Well, let me introduce SHARKBAIT: an immersive underwater spear-fishing game coming from the creative mind of DAYBREAK. ‪@Official.daybreak‬ has a TikTok page with over 200,000 followers where he posts exciting virtual reality news, game reviews, VR-centered comedy skits, and more!

Now, his game Sharkbait just recently released into EARLY ACCESS on the Meta Quest AppLab, so I decided to check it out for myself and was pleasantly surprised with how much fun I had, even in this clearly early stage of development. But immediately after playing I had so many questions like…how exactly did this game get made? What are its creative inspirations? And what will the future of this game look like?

So joining me in this video is Daybreak himself, to hopefully answer some of my burning questions! It was so cool to interview him and hear the story of how his dream project all came together, so I hope you enjoy it too! :D

Also let me know in the comments what you think of this video format! If this does well, I’ll consider turning this into a series where I interview other VR creators or developers!
