Try our new chat client
Palace is visual chat: you choose an avatar, step into illustrated rooms, and talk with people in real time—picture a lightweight graphical hangout, not just a text window. The new client keeps that spirit on today’s computers.
Run your own Palace server
Host the software yourself at home or in the cloud: your rooms, your props, your scripts, and your house rules. Set it up, point people at your address, and build a space that is yours—not a rented lobby.
Props from artists, for everyone. Collect and share.
Palace props are tiny artworks—avatars, accessories, room flair—often made by people who love drawing for the community. You gather them in your prop bag, wear them in chat, and pass favorites along so rooms stay colorful and personal. It’s part flea market, part gallery: discover what creators made, keep what you like, and let others enjoy the same pieces in their own way.
Pixel-perfect props. Edit and animate.
The prop editor is built for the real pixel grid props use in Palace—zoom in, place every dot, and refine shapes so they read clearly at chat size. Start with a still prop or add frames one at a time to build animated props: each frame is a full drawing step, so you control timing, loops, and little motions that show up on avatars and in rooms exactly as you intended.
Hundreds of minigames. Or roll your own.
Palace rooms have always been more than chat—think card games, puzzles, toys, and odd little experiments people wired up over the years. You can jump into a huge library of minigames with friends or dig into scripting and build your own: share rules, tweak behavior, and turn a quiet corner of a room into something everyone plays.
