The Playhouse · single-player preview
Step into the
room.
Pick which artist you are. Walk around. Click the stage to drop into Live, the board to see the projects, the speakers and crate for vibes. The room remembers your avatar.
What's real here
- Click-to-walk movement, saved between visits.
- Avatar customization — color and hat, persisted locally.
- Hotspots that link into the rest of the portal.
- Chat speech bubbles, ghost artists with cycling quotes.
What's deferred
- Real multiplayer — needs a websocket server (PartyKit / Colyseus).
- Real auth — currently a soft sign-in via artist pick.
- Persistent server state — avatar lives in localStorage, not a DB.
- Voice / video / live audio embed in the room.
The avatar shape and movement system are designed to plug into a real-time backend without rewriting the visuals.
