I hate how pill colliders for platformers are industry standard. In my opinion, the player's origin point should never sag below the floor. So, I've devised my own Godot "Cylinder-based Footing" character controller that combines the benefits of both capsules & cylinders.

this is really neat but I'm struggling to understand the improvement. Is it possible to implement a normal pill on this map and demonstrate the issue specifically?

If the center of character is off an edge, the point touching the edge is not the center of the half-sphere that makes the bottom, so since that point is off-center, it is not the lowest point of the character (which is the center), it's somewhere "up" on the sphere. This makes the character "sag".
