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

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
