Data Wars
Data Wars in an RTS where you control your Team via "Deepgame" - an AI Voice Agent, powered by Deepgram. Have Deepgame construct buildings, produce units, and dispatch units on your behalf as you try to accumulate the most "Clicks" by sending Spam Bots to Transmission Towers before the natural resources in the world run out.
Made for Deepgram's GramJam 2026.
Tips
Tested/working on Linux/Windows/Mac with Chrome, and Linux/Windows with Firefox.
If the connection to Deepgram's Voice Agent seems to be broken, reconnect by pressing the "R" key.
Using the "M" key to mute and unmute can be useful if background noise is interfering with the Voice Agent. Sometimes the mute/unmute icon gets out of sync in the browser version due to some shenanigans.
Compendium
* Data Centers consume Water to produce Data. Data Centers can spend Water to produce Spam Bots. Data Drones can steal data from the opposing Team's Data Centers.

* Skunk Works can produce Skunk Drones and Data Drones, the main offensive units of the game.

* Extractors mine Minerals from Mines. Minerals are required to build buildings and drones.

* Spam Bots produce Clicks when they arrive at Transmission Towers. Clicks are used as the scoring system.

* Skunk Drones attack and destroy units of the opposing Team.

* Data Drones can steal data from the opposing Team's Data Centers.

* Water is consumed by Data Centers to produce Data. All buildings must be built at Sites by Water.

* Sites are locations where you can build buildings.

* Mines are locations where you can mine for Minerals with Extractors.

* Transmission Towers are the "goals" where Spam Bots must reach to score Clicks

Install instructions
Linux and Windows builds seemed to work out of the box. Mac also worked but only when executing from the Terminal via "Content/MacOS/Data Wars" (otherwise the OS refused to grant microphone permissions).
