America’s   latest   craze   is   now   brought   to   PC!   You   heard   that   right   –   Water   Bottle   Flip   captures   the   thrill   of   lobbing   perfectly   good   drinking water   in   plastic   bottles   through   the   air   and   trying   to   land   it   upright   on   various   surfaces.   This   authentic   polymeric   encapsulated   aquatic simulator   realistically   captures   the   exquisite   arc   of   the   bottle   as   it   sails   effortlessly   through   the   air   and   onto   the   target!   Throw   as   many water   bottles   as   you   like   in   the   comfort   of   your   own   PC   gaming   chair   without   having   to   worry   about   spilling   actual   water   and   soaking   your carpets!   How   many   can   you   land   consecutively   on   the   table?   Can   you   trick-shot   onto   the   vending   machine?   Can   you   simply   just   land   one before casting yourself out into the void out of frustration? Try it out and see! ______________________________ Controls - Movement: WASD Use / Pick-Up: E Throw with Force: Left Mouse Button Status: K Increase Force: I Decrease Force: M Increase Mass: U Decrease Mass: N Sprint: SHIFT + Movement Jump: Space Bar Flashlight: F ______________________________ Vending Machine To   get   your   first   water   bottle,   and   subsequent   bottles   after   that   if   you   happen   to   lose   it,   or   if   you   are   just   parched   in   general,   simply approach the vending machine and press the red button to redeem a water bottle, free of charge! ______________________________ Throwing To   throw   the   bottle,   hold   onto   it   and   swing   it   gently   through   the   air   and   press   the   “E”   key   at   your   desired   release   point   to   launch   it   and watch   it   float   effortlessly   through   the   ether   and   into   glory!   Try   picking   up   the   bottle   at   different   points   along   the   body   and/or   different orientations for interesting trajectories. You can alter your swing arc and speed to change the spin. ______________________________ Throwing with Force To   throw   the   bottle   with   force,   hold   onto   it   and   swing   it   gently   through   the   air   and   press   the   “Left   Mouse   Button”   at   your   desired   release point   to   launch   it   and   watch   it   float   effortlessly   through   the   ether   and   into   glory!   You   can   now   change   the   throwing   force   by   using   the   "I" and   "M"   keys   to   increase   /   decrease   the   force   respectively. You   can   also   now   change   the   mass   of   the   bottle   by   using   the   "U"   and   "N"   keys to   increase   /   decrease   the   mass   respectively.   NOTE:   Make   sure   to   set   the   mass   before   you   redeem   a   water   bottle.   The   water   bottle   will then   be   set   to   the   mass   indicated.   This   should   allow   for   a   little   bit   more   fidelity   in   the   water   bottle   physics   and   should   allow   for   more landings. I was also able to land it on the cap! Once... ______________________________ All   seriousness   aside,   I   was   just   playing   around   with   the   game   engine   physics   to   see   what   it   can   do   and   dial   in   the   parameters   to   try   to make   the   game   as   realistic   as   possible.   For   a   simple   game,   I   found   actually   trying   to   win   is   very   difficult! Admittedly,   I   have   not   been   able to   properly   “flip”   (360   degree   rotation)   a   bottle   just   yet   to   properly   land   it   but   I   promise,   I   was   able   to   throw   and   land   on   some   attempts (the   game   screenshot   is   one   of   them!).   Because   it   was   so   difficult,   I   would   say   any   landing   you   accomplish   anywhere   on   the   platform   is valid.   If   you   come   up   with   a   technique   to   consistently   stick   the   landing,   please   share   it!   Oh   and   remember   –   video…   or   it   didn’t   happen! Just Kidding! This   is   a   basic   3D   game-of-skill   uploaded   into   the   Steam   Workshop.   I   am   interested   in   delving   more   into   development   of   3D   solid   model assets   for   games.   You   can   download   and   play   this   game   for   free   by   getting   the   Leadwerks   Game   Launcher   app   within   Steam.   This launcher   app   is   completely   free.   Once   installed,   look   for   the   "Water   Bottle   Flip"   game   and   you   can   immediately   launch   and   play   it.   Please let me know what you think of the game! Most of the game is stock from game engine except for - The vending machine + water bottle 3D solid models as well as operating script were created by me using basic 3D CAD software. Enjoy!
