Partial A 2D virtual office with rooms, avatars, and proximity chat is a web app a solo builder can prototype. Real-time multiplayer sync, scaling, and voice/proximity audio require real-time infrastructure beyond what vibe coding alone produces.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a Phaser or PixiJS front end, a WebSocket or WebRTC server for presence and state sync (for example, Colyseus or Socket.IO), and a media server such as LiveKit for proximity audio and video. The hard parts are low-latency state synchronization, handling many concurrent rooms, and reliable WebRTC, which require distributed-systems and real-time infrastructure experience.
