Among Us
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 The main reason we are shooting for a sequel is because the codebase of Among Us 1 is so outdated and not built to support adding so much new content.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!

Idea: give us 5 pets free plz
The devs may do that after they have more pets
Y'all better add new free maps those 3 maps are boring add more skins for free to play players. Less glitches where you can't vote etc and random disconnection. Maps should increase devs
they said that they were adding a henry Stickman themed map
stickmin*
cool
They are adding new maps. It just takes a TON of effort. Be aware, maps aren't just gonna be added every day. Plus, the dev team is small.
maps aren’t very easy to make
ok so noone wants to rate my idea
i did :)
if they do why does it say i have an update and when i check my steam it doesn't say nothing abt an update
do they even see this
Hello devs ! I play Among Us since 2018 and i have 2 ideas. I think it should be fun to introduce this ideas.
Idea N1 : When the half of the crewmates are ghosts, the game gives to 1 player a role "The Guardian Angel" this role can put traps to the impostor and help the crewmates. Freeze the kill cold down for 5 seconds, alert a crewmate that is in danger, an ability called sacred shield that only has 1 use and you can give it to a crew member for a few seconds. The crew with the sacred shield doesnt know that have the shield. If the impostor try to kill a crew with the sacred hole the kill cold down reset and the sound of a sword breaking sounds to the impostor.
Idea N2 : It is the same but each ghost crewmate is assigned a crew member to take care of him.
Cheers!
What's the fun in being imposter if a ghost can alert a crewmate makes no sense will get boring and lame.
Maybe it can be toggled in game settings.
Those are great ideas!
Like 2 or 3 teams
Battle Mode is good, but instead of free for all make it equal teams
How is my infection idea? Vote any number from 1 to 10, with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best
ngl I like it a lot! I would give it 9/10 for the time being
Hi devs and players! I have an idea! How about battle mode? Battle mode allows you to kill other players before they kill you! Also, there will be no roles as everyone is allowed to kill each other. (Impostor.) Also, there will be no emergency meetings or reportings so they aren't able to tear each other. Btw it has a cooldow witch the host can corntrol. (Minimum time is 10 and Max is 38.) Hope it will be added!
Good idea, but adding 2 or 3 equal teams would make it better
I have an idea! How about an infection mode? It is where you still dont know who the imposter is, but if the imposter catches you, you join their team! The crewmates need to vote only the 1st imposter off. If an infected imposter gets voted off, they turn back into a crewmate! Don't Forget to subscribe to Gamer Foxy 105!
Cool!
good suggestion
lol
It Kicked Me Out Of A Match because I Was Hacking. I Never Hacked In My Life
The Message: You Are Hacking, Please Stop
crazy man
Okay, the devs are working on an anticheat. Making an anticheat is gonna take a long time, and is hard. Cut them some slack.
i got kicked when i was imposter
Hi Devs!! The work is amazing and the game is masterpiece, i would like to suggest a new mode named 'Hide and Seek', as the name suggests, it would be like a hide and seek match with impostors and crewmates. I would really appreciate it if y'all can make this possible. Idc when you make it, i will wait an year or even more just for this game mode..........just make it possible pls!!!
I would really love if the game doesn't become complex as hell and is simple to be played!!!
Also, i am really excited for the upcoming updates like the friends and account feature. I am really surprised that the among us team is so small yet so good!!!
I would really love if the game doesn't become complex as hell and is simple to be played!!!
