What I am suggesting, that instead of having “This Game Is Restricted” when you join a friend through their profile or chat, and they’re in a universe, it should instead take them into the game if the Developer has specified they can teleport to a level without first having to go through the start place. This option can be ticked for each individual level using the Game Explorer in studio.
I think this would be a good feature to have and would allow players to quickly join their friend without first having to track down the level they’re in, or going through the start place in the first place.
Support. When playing certain games (rip Arcane Adventures), I often find it annoying when I try to join a friend but it telles me the Game Is Restricted. I then join the start place in a frantic attempt to join said friend.
Édit: I believe it would be better as a property in Workspace rather than in the Game Explorer.
I don’t agree with how specific this feature is. I think the issue is the lack of an ability to open up non-start places to be played directly from the site. If a developer has no issues letting friends join a place like that, they should have no issue with people entering normally. This would allow friends to join, as well as offering more functionality than this feature request is asking for.
I’m saying the play button would exist on the place’s page, not just being a feature through following friends.
I also don’t know why there’s a debate over this on where it would be a setting in studio. This absolutely sounds like a setting you would find on the site, as it effects how users interact with your game on the site, not in the client.
