Shark Dentist
A developer dive into Shark Dentist is here, and we get to see just how the gameplay loop of Shark Dentist will play out
It is time to pick up all of your tools and anesthesia meds, so we can dive into the gameplay for Shark Dentist. Another of the quirky indie games that will be swimming its way onto the PC in the future, with Alice Games behind bringing it all to us. In fact, that is what this latest update for Shark Dentist is all about. The developers have opted to give us all a deeper look into the video game to see how it is going to be more than a silly meme game. One that will have us simulating being a dentist for sharks, which isn’t truly a real thing, but it will offer some fun, tension, and laughs along the way. Let’s have a deeper look at how this roguelike title will be handled and how the team has gone about building this fun-looking title.
While it sounds like Shark Dentist would be a fairly straightforward kind of game about pulling teeth, this one adds in a bit more to deal with. That will be part of it, but we’re also going to need to deal with other dental issues that will be procedurally generated, all while also making sure the pulse and oxygen levels of the shark are at the correct levels as well. If all of that gets out of hand, the shark will not take kindly, and one of the various “fatalities” in Shark Dentist will play out. All in a way that looks silly, but also highlights the fact that the team has worked on making this one of the most realistic sharks out there. Then there are all of the other little features mixed in, that you can watch in action with the latest developer diary and gameplay trailer for the game. Again, this looked like it could be a silly game, but there is some true heart going into it all, and some other fun to keep us all hooked in.
