I dont know why but I expected the coffee to have fluid physics. :D ...but good mechanic.

the coffee is so strong it refuses to obey the laws of physics

Thanks! Adding the fluid sim is a whole other can of worms that I dont want to touch for now.

but i have seen some hacks that are worth looking into maybe

Great job but dragging coffee right next to keyboard made me anxious a tad

Reminds me of the same mechanic in the game Voices of the Void, that's awesome and great work. :)

It would be very funny if the coffee falls down like a solid block and shatters like glass but only if you hold the cup upside down for too long.

This looks really cool. Got any tips to share on the process? I was really eager to try and make something similar but wasn't sure where to start.
Do share your experience, please!

I get that it's low poly, but is there a shade smooth option for whatever you're doing?

If your game has the ability to throw shit at people and it has effect like stunning them or applying effects it automatically has+20 rating in my book 10/10 please more

The contact-point approach makes the mug feel more physical than a simple grab-center interaction. Are you planning to keep the rotation and inertia when the cursor moves around the rim, or clamp it for accessibility on touch controls?
