The Future of Among Us


Hey everyone, PuffballsUnited here! It’s been a very exciting time for us the past few months! We’ve absolutely loved seeing everyone enjoying Among Us! Forte has been working hard to get the servers adjusted to deal with the huge influx of players. Thank you so much for bearing with us through these growing pains. Hopefully we can get started on new content soon! Speaking of new content…

 

Us devs have had several long discussions about what we want to do with the game. When do we stop working on Among Us 1? What content goes into Among Us 2? The main reason we are shooting for a sequel is because the codebase of Among Us 1 is so outdated and not built to support adding so much new content. However, seeing how many people are enjoying Among Us 1 really makes us want to be able to support the game and take it to the next level. We have decided to cancel Among Us 2 and instead put all our focus into improving Among Us 1. All of the content we had planned for Among Us 2 will instead go into Among Us 1. This is probably the more difficult choice because it means going deep into the core code of the game and reworking several parts of it. We have lots of things planned and we’re excited to bring new content to everyone as you continue to enjoy playing!

 

Here’s some things that are coming on the horizon:

* Servers. Forte is still working very hard to figure out our server issues. We don’t have an ETA but things should hopefully be getting better and better. This is taking up all development time on his end.

* Colorblind support. It’s something we’ve put off for way too long… We plan on adding other identifiers for players as well as certain color focused tasks (Like wires). This should also open the potential for more colors. In the past we couldn’t add more colors because it became too difficult to tell players apart.

* Friends/Account System. This is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time but just haven’t been able to tackle. For the health of the game going forward we’re going to sink our teeth in and figure it out! This one will definitely take some time.

* A new stage! It is still very early and we have only just begun designing the layout. The theme has been settled on though! The next stage in Among Us is going to be a Henry Stickmin themed location!

We have LOTS of other things planned too, we just need to prioritize and organize all our plans. Stay tuned!

I'd really like to be able to customize settings in Freeplay, I'm trying to practice a generic task list but its so few in practice and they it just lets you keep going and gives a popup, but doesnt reset to spawn. Being able to change it to what i normally play on and/or add a bunch of tasks (but still random instead of adding manually) would be perfect!

(+1)

will there be a OSX version of the game in the near future? There are a lot of Mac users that are missing out from playing.

(+1)

probably

Hii, put a chat only for impostors in the next updates pleaseeee, it is very bad not being able to communicate with each other because, for example, at the time of making a double death sometimes the other (impostor 2) does not understand that he had to kill also and ends up delivering the other (impostor 1) who killed in the intention of making that double Kill. Thank you so much for your dedication to this incredible game!

(+4)(-1)

There's a reason for this - chat is intentionally disabled for everyone during the rounds, as allowing communication takes away the essence of the game.

Or send a signal to the other imposter

yeah i want to tell my other imposter to do a double kill in security

I only recently got into among us (about a month ago) and I'm already obsessed. It's so fun to be both imposter and crewmate and the people on it are fr so amusing to watch. I've already made some friends on it and I can't wait to be able to make an account and add other players. I'm waiting to make game purchases until then so I don't risk losing my progress so I'm very excited for when the day comes. 

(+2)

It's so exciting to see this game develop and improve over the past year. I started playing Among us back in early November of 2019 and to see this game explode with players has been amazing to watch. Also the new Halloween update looks really cool and I'm very excited for among us' future :)

@innerslothgames  I hope you would please see my comment.... I have some ideas to add in the game for example, add artificial intelligence to the dummies in freeplay mode so that we can play offline too.

1- I hope that you would add in some traps the imposter can put like bear traps but the crewmates can see and avoid them...

2- (optional) - I really want you guys to add in the timer mode in online where the imposter has to kill and murder everyone within the selected time. 

3- (COMPULSORY)- please please pleeeeeeeease add in an anti-hack system because some people are hacking the game and it isn't that much fun playing with those dudes... PLEASE DO THIS! THIS IS FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE TOO. 

4- I want you guys to add the online story mode feature where it is kind of like role--play games in roblox..... And I want it to be online. 

I guess that is all I want to add...  Will let you know if I have any other ideas. And I think it's really cool that you're working on taking among us 1 to the next level. And I really appreciate for creating the game for us since its hard on quarantine. And speaking on quarantine, can you add the medical mask in customization.

Bye bye don't forget to read my comment!

In my opinion it’s way to baised on roblox

(+1)

Only 3 is a good suggestion 1 would be really stupid because it doesn't fit at all 2 crewmates could just camp and 4 the game already has an story and if you want a roleplaying mode go play an roleplaying game because among us isn't one

you heared about playing hide'n seek in among us?

(1 edit) (+1)(-3)

its great that your sticking with among us 1 and not making a sequel, i have been playing your game a lot and absolutely love the game! but also i have some suggestions.

my idea is to add a medic role. after a crewmate has been attacked by an imposter they have a 30 second bleed out if the bleed out timer runs out they die but the medic can find them and and heal them, after they have been healed a meeting will be called but the injured crewmate cannot talk for one meeting and cant do anything for one round after the meeting until another meeting is called they can then speak and do tasks they will also be stuck in medbay for that round as well the imposter can also finish them off while they are stuck in medbay.

another idea is that imposters can set traps in certain rooms for example on the map skeld there are wires on the floor of electrical what the imposter can do is expose those wires on the floor and a crewmate can be electrocuted once they step on the wires another example is on mira HQ with the vending machine the imposter could poison a certain drink in the vending machine and if its chosen by a crewmate they will become slower and their vision will deplete and the medic cannot help with players that have fallen into a trap but only report it.

this is the last idea but maybe you could add an animation once the imposters or crewmates win this could be added to the computer in the ship where you could choose your animations for example if the imposters win they could show the imposter brandishing a knife i dont know what any of the crewmate win animations would be though.

i absolutely love your game and cant wait to see what comes in the future!

also add a default dance please.

(+4)

Dude the medic-role is not possible since the player will know who the imposter is...

So please change it man

(+1)(-1)

If they do add it will be nerfed a bit

(-1)

Like making it where when the imposter kills u he’s solid black

And when he walks away he solid black to u

(1 edit) (+1)(-1)

i see what you mean but i have a part in the medic role idea where it says that after that crewmate has been attacked they cant talk or leave medbay till another meeting was called i did also say that the injured crewmate can be finished off by the imposter thats why i say keep the injured crewmate in medbay it would be a easy kill for the imposter but if they dont deal with them they would be caught by the attacked crewmate

Would the "bleed-out" timer always be constant or could it be changed like other settings?

(+1)(-1)

I absolutely love this game and I can't wait to see more from you guys! Looking forward to these updates and had a few suggestions myself!

• Feminine skins? Just something a little more feminine or like.. a tutu... maid out fit... just thought they would be fun haha

• Ability to name the rooms you host so people might know what to expect. IE: You want to play Hide n Seek.

• Something more for ghosts to do to help reduce disconnets when they die? LIke... a way to sabotage the Impostor? Like lock the vents? Ectoplasm sticky trap that can be used once per ghost to trap someone for like... 30 seconds? 


Just some funny thoughts I had. You guys are absolutely spectacular!

Will you make the henry stickmin collection on android ?

And iPad n stuff too!

it seems like everyone is being nice to fgteev for colorblind mode,,,,,, ALSO YOU ARE DOING TOPPAT STATION

(+7)(-5)

I think it would be cool if you added emotes to the game. I’ve seen so many edits on TikTok where characters dance. It would be so fun if the characters could actually dance. If you didn’t want it to be free, we could buy the emotes. I know I definitely would. Also, I love playing Among Us and have made some friends while playing so thank you!

(+4)(-2)

I would also put down something that should also be on your list: sometimes the impostor has absolutely no way of separating a group of crewmates. If like 4 of them are in a stack against one impostor then they won, with little to no counterplay.

One fix I could think of is to have over 2 panels for the sabotages, then adjust the number of panels to visit based on the player count. then 4 players MUST separate from each other, then deduct the rest from there. That is just one solution, but if you find something better than do that.

(+2)

If they're all standing in the same spot, that's a good time to kill. :)
#StackKill

Thank you for that beautiful game!

In among us two, make there a insanity bar for crewmates,if it goes all the way up ( and your game wont be rated R ) the crewmate will go insane and do suicide. If more than 3 crewmates go through this, the imposter wins.The way to stop the meter a little  is having more emergency meetings, because they can talk with their "buddies." The way to LOWER the bar is to do tasks, because they will feel more safe. If you want you can make this update but WAYYYYYY more child friendly version.. I hope this update gets added, im pretty sure it wont, but luck is a thing!

(+6)

You know you're literally replying to a dev post where they confirmed there isn't going to be an Among Us 2, right?

(+2)

If you don’t know, Among Us 2 is canceled. They will keep adding features to Among Us 1.

(+1)

This is kinda to grim ngl

(+4)(-6)

I think among us developers should add a detective into among us. The detective have one kill chance and one gun. If he/she kills the wrong person, then he/she will be dead too. If they succeeded in killing one imposter, they will have another bullet (only available in 2-3 imposter rounds.) They can get voted off killed, BTW.

(+1)

That may be just a lil too op

(-1)

or you could just use an emergency meeting and tell everyone who the impostor is

(+5)

add some lore maybe, not too deep, it can be as simple as:

parasites are destroying the crewmate population, stop it.

(+1)

Isn't there lore to this game? I always thought there was when I checked out the Fan Wiki

(+1)

Yes there is

(+1)

That's the lore  you litterely just shortened a 13 minutes video into one sentence

but thats just a theory, a GAME THEORY

(+3)

Could you perhaps port the game to mac os? I own a mac and cannot use bluestacks and or any windows/bootcamp as I have already tried that. It would mean alot to me to be able to play this game with my friends (Also I dont have a phone)

(+1)

second this suggestion! Also, the mobile iOS version doesn’t support a keyboard if you have an iPad and have one attached to your iPad, which would also improve gameplay since the joystick and touch options alone are awkward.

Yeah

I want to translate your game to my native language. Where can i contact you in case you are interested?

when will it come out? the update not game. i already have the game.

(+2)

It's great to hear the news! I'm glad to know that you guys are addressing player concerns, and as someone who has been obsessively playing among us and consuming more among us content, I can't wait to see where it goes! especially putting your resources into the og game!! 

However, I do hope you'll add some more robust features to deal with toxic players, because as it stands right now, it's really difficult to deal with toxic and hateful players, especially when you're not the admin, or are in the minority. Slurs are commonly tossed around, even with censored mode on, and repeat offenders basically suffer no consequences moving from game to game. Unfortunately, this type of hostile environment dampens my enthusiasm, as well as a lot of other players, for playing :(.

Regardless, I look forward to what you have in store, and will be supporting you guys along the way!
