This is really cool.
There should be some teleportation methods for your avatar to move around bigger rooms / find designated areas quicker
Also, a minimap HUD showing where all the people are at in the circle

#12Nice ui and idea. I've build something similar some time ago, focused on books. Each book becomes a channel that is anonymous.

I am tracking with you on the teleportation idea as I want to add some order and structure to the randomness of open space. I'm thinking a logical first step would be to add a "buddy" list feature and when your buddy is online and also has their "findable" toggle flipped to on, you can "jump" to wherever they are in Chat Circles.

Teleport i would just enable by default if your on their friendslist etc
By the way, check out indie games on the internet for ideas. 2d birds height view games
E.g.
Surviv.io -battleroyale on a browser

By the way, set a cooldown for teleportation as well. Otherwise the screen will give you a seizure
