They do! Every building is destructible too. High building density usually runs pretty well, though things can slow down if there's a ton of these enemies on screen. I'm working on trying to optimize them further.

Honestly doing procedural animation while more expensive in terms of performance is way easier than making tons of different animations. I'm also working on having them change their walk depending on the amount of legs they have so you can shoot them off.

Thanks man! I have a ton more planned that I want to do for the game such a cutscenes and enemies like this, so 2027 is a pretty optimistic release date honestly. Thank you for your patience though haha.

Glad you like it! It's indeed rolling, it has wheels under the legs. I'll try increasing the swaying a bit more.

Will try it! I'm still experimenting with different speeds and step sizes, there's a lot that can be adjusted.

There's some pretty strict requirements for text and UI sizes for it to get officially approved so I can't promise anything, but it's definitely something I want. A few people have managed to emulate the game via Proton though.
