A new dawn reckons for visual chat. Move, express, and interact in rooms with live webpage backgrounds. Join the sovereign 2D avatar community today, inspired by the legacy of Voodoo Chat.
Our Chat in action, forget about VP, come join the real fun!
Why stare at a static picture? ChatSpace allows you to set any live website as your room background. Browse the web, watch videos, or explore sites together in real-time.
Jump into Discord-style video grids with AI-powered virtual backgrounds (blur, ghost, custom images). Prefer audio? Use Push-To-Talk with active-speaker highlighting.
Chatting is just the beginning. Poke friends, start food fights with flying tomatoes, or unleash VIP Magic to trigger earthquakes, UFO abductions, and neon trails.
Adopt, trade, and collect pets ranging from a Pet Rock to a Legendary Ember Dragon. Watch them perform idle animations and feed them treats to level them up.
Nostalgia meets the modern era. Pop out floating DM windows, send screen-shaking 'Nudges' with sound, and get retro slide-up notifications when friends log in.
Forge your legacy. Create verified Clans with custom badges, or physically 'link' your avatar to a friend's to explore rooms side-by-side or lead guided tours.
Share your screen, stream local video files, or drop YouTube, Spotify, and SoundCloud links directly into chat to spawn synchronized, in-room media players.
Earn 'Wonga' currency just by hanging out. Spend it in the live Shop for exclusive auras and colors, or post your own services in the community Marketplace.
You own your community. Download the server software to host your own universe. Enjoy hardened security, offline messaging, and powerful deep admin controls. Server download to be announced!
We didn't just build a chat app; we built a sanctuary for the 2D avatar community.
If you’re feeling burnt out by the constant drama and the political games that have plagued the 'Virtual Places' scene for years, you aren’t alone. We felt that same frustration, and it’s what drove us to create ChatSpace. We wanted to build a sanctuary—a place designed for sovereign communities to grow without looking over their shoulders. We’ve done away with the centralized ego and the 'global admin' mindset that so often leads to conflict. It’s your space, your rules, and your way. Let’s leave the drama behind and build something better together.
In the history of digital spaces, Voodoo Chat stands as a masterclass in innovation. Mike Parniak did what no other could, pushing the limits of the technology available to him to create something that felt truly ahead of time. That spirit of boundary-pushing is what drives us every day. We aim to capture that same legendary spark and bring it into the modern age. We believe in honest progress—no smoke and mirrors, just hard work and a shared vision. We’re reaching for the stars, and we'd be honored to have you with us for the journey.
From countless late nights fueled by a dream to make Chatspace Live truly special, Mark Hughes (NeO) and Catie poured their essence into its creation over the past 5-7 months, often looking more like highly caffeinated, sleep-deprived philosophers than developers as they valiantly tackled monumental obstacles, even pivoting development languages three times – a testament to both their unyielding determination and perhaps, a slightly masochistic appreciation for extreme coding challenges.. And yet they live to tell the tale.
Absolutely nothing. There no hidden costs, but there are "premium" tiers that help with development and running of the server. ChatSpace is a labor of love for the community. We believe in providing a world-class environment where you live the friendships you make.
While Halsoft VP and Yak Chat kept the spirit alive, we’ve taken technology further. From 60FPS fluid avatar movement to animated avatars, web cam and voice and unlimited file size sends, we've brought the 2D genre into 2026. Moss kept VP alive by creating his Clone VP server, credit is given where due and it's due. And he did it in Visual Basics 6, that's no small feat.
We take security exceptionally seriously. Unlike legacy clients filled with exploits, ChatSpace is built on a modern, sandboxed architecture. Your IP remains protected, and your private conversations stay truly private through industry-standard encryption.

Don't just take our word for it, here are some community thought's.
I can't go back to regular vp now! The fluid movement and the live backgrounds make it feel like I'm actually inside the internet.
It's so much cleaner and updated than I've ever known a chat to be. It’s finally the visual experience we’ve been waiting a decade for.
The server software is so easy to handle. I run my own Ghost server and I finally have my own private space without the worry of old exploits ruining the vibe.
At first I was doubious, but I'm really suprised on how well it works, I can show off my animated avatar now lol.
Finally, a 2D chat that doesn't feel like it's stuck in 1995. The UI is gorgeous and everything just *works* on my Linux rig.
I was skeptical about moving from the old scenes, but the Devs attitude here is refreshing. No politics, just good vibes and fun.
