I've got the robot behaving sort of how I want. He's a bit more aggressive and unpredictable now, which I like. He attacks you, causes damage, and knocks you back. With sound effects. I've also added ...

The enemy robot responds to your presence and chases you, swings his weapon arm when he gets close enough, and causes you damage. That said, the collision detection stuff in Unreal Engine seems to be ...

And animated. And in the game. He can see and chase you. I haven't got his attack set up yet, and he needs some tweaking, but the basics are there.

I'm working on a new animatic for the intro. It will give me a chance to put in some good intro story as well as make the whole thing playable.

You'd be amazed at how difficult making a simple ladder is.
