Unnamed Bug RTS - Real-Time Strategy Game

A real-time strategy prototype with bug units, made for AGDG Demo Day 40

Game Overview

Unnamed Bug RTS is what it sounds like: a real-time strategy prototype where the units are bugs. I made it for AGDG DEMO DAY 40. It covers the core RTS loop — drag to select, right-click to move, hold position, select-all hotkeys — nothing exotic, but the fundamentals work.

Development

The main technical fight was pathfinding. Early builds had units "dancing" — jittering around their destination instead of settling — and eliminating that meant reworking the movement code until units stopped second-guessing themselves. Keeping a crowd of units updating smoothly in a web build took some care too. There's also a volume slider.
