New Lobby in the Studio

Post by Draasill »

Dear game developers,

until now, the new lobby (integrated in the gamepage), was not available in the studio.

The main reason for this, is that the "Express Start" button was missing.

As the new lobby adds a whole new way to set your options (see "the doc"), it's useful to be able to preview them on the studio.

This is now possible, and the game lobby is now activated:

Remember that you can go to the game page with the URL https://studio.boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=<gamename>.

Happy coding!

While on this topic of adding buttons, is there a way to add the "Discuss" button to the new lobby in production?

If it already exists I have never found it, and it means that if you accidentally close the lobby chat in a new lobby, there is never a way to get it back.

You need to keep "Express Start" visible always.

After it fails (because of some bug in the game code, etc.) then only the "Start" button is visible. It incorrectly appears that the other players are still at the table, but they are not really present. Clicking "Start" attempts to start the game with 1 player (completely contradictory to what's shown on the screen). So we really need to click "Express Start" again, but the button is gone :oops:

I tried it - I don't have express start at all... I don't know what do I need to do to get it
There is Start/Cancel (studio)
