It's a nice concept. Took me a moment to understand that I was the one giving the orders to the other robot, guess I wasn't paying good enough attention in the introduction. I instructed the robot to move right, then it wouldn't move any more. Interesting concept though, nice graphics

Thanks, yes Convai Custom events is still a bit broken, so the "Turn right" which was broken was out of my control unfortunately, but a cool concept :)

For some reason the mouse wasn't working in the main menu and I didn't know what to do. :/

Press the windows key and then click back into it and it'll work. It's the same for all packaged Unreal games.

I did as you instructed, got me into the game but ended up in some weird shortcut mode, opening tabs, notification windows and cycling through my open file explorers when pressing keys on the keyboard. Disconnecting my keyboard and reconnecting it made it possible to play the game on my third try. I haven't had this experience with any of the other Unreal games in this jam?

An interesting idea, and it looks very nice too! I'd be really interested seeing it used for a puzzle where it's easier or uniquely possible through natural language. Maybe you meet an adversary and you have to say something publicly to encourage your ally to do something without also letting the enemy know what your ally's about to do?

Great job, and I'm interested to see the next step of this :)

I was excited to play this, saw your progress using Convai in the discord. Unreal is so pretty! Very cool AI you built too, he had some very cool things to say about his movement. I knew I had to get him to stand on the pressure plate from what you had said in the discord, but if I didn't know that I would be stumped on what to do. A shame you didnt have more levels! The second level looked really cool!

Thank you! Yes I didn't have enough spare time to work on it, so it was really a 3 day project to be honest! I should have also added guidance - but i let the dialogue tell the instructions basically "Follow my every command" Thanks for the comment :D
