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 The main reason we are shooting for a sequel is because the codebase of Among Us 1 is so outdated and not built to support adding so much new content.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

Pls fix iPad Air1 crash on Among us, pls I wanna play the game so bad but it keeps crashing before the game starts :(

There is a glitch that you go in darkness after the round  and you will be the player when a player joins. Here is a example: You are "Error 404" and a player name "Why I" then you talk as Why I and why I talks as himself

yeah they are fixing it and alot things about the hackers

I suppose another option is you could take the Rust route.

Garry Newman started building the game Rust in an older version of Unity. Then, two things happened: he realized that both the codebase and the design of the game itself were unsustainable and stale, and that a big new Unity version had come out mid-development with a bazillion new features. So, what he did was he completely abandoned the codebase for that current version of Rust and started work on a new one from the ground up. Then, when it was ready, he pushed released this entirely "new" version of Rust as an update to the game, and labeled the old one as "Rust legacy".

I suppose if the codebase for Among Us 1 is just such a cluster fuck but you don't want to release a sequel, you could instead just bin it as "Among Us Legacy", and start work on an entirely new one that is technically a "sequel" but still released for free to current Among Us owners sort of like an update.

is there is any update ???

I keep on getting kicked out of a game and it would tell me that I need to update but there isn't an update on steam for Among us. Now I have to wait 7 minutes. This is very annoying. It's not my fault that I got kicked out because I need to "update" the game. Smh.

So I wasn't the only one then

I have the game but mine didnt update. i dont know how cause my app store isnt saying it needs to update but idk what to do, i want the update tho.

(+1)

I wish I had a new map

(+2)

And also, something I've discussed with a lot of people in game and we all agree on : can mini-crewmates be dressed/have the same hat as we do? And an "orphaned mini-crewmates daycare" would be amazing 😭

Hey Devs! I've got a colourblind friend and for the cable task, maybe you could add symbols on each sides instead for the color blind version ? Where there are those rectangles, for exemple to put circles, squares, crosses and triangles for exemple ? 

Also, could there be more languages/server zones? (I'm french for exemple, and "Europe" seems to be a too big server on it's own, maybe divide it a bit?) And do you think a "kid group" (less than X age) could be made? Because there are a lot of kids playing and many people manage to still swear like sailors (I play sometimes with my 9yo brother and it's quite annoying to see so much hate in some people who can't stand loosing).

Thanks for all the good work you're all putting into it!

Hey InnerSloth, I would like to ask you something, well, among us in the Among Us community in general, there are people who work with pixel art and it would be really cool if you left open some version of Among Us that would let us modify the sprites of the game if it doesn't already exist, to be able to create our own hats, clothes and etc. Well if it is not possible just please release an update separating the sprites, like a bigger space to draw on them, I know that on youtube already teaches modifying them, but there is not so complete. Thanks for listening.

nice !!!

why are you allowed to vote kick the host, please change that people are getting abusive with it

I have a idea! You guys should make among us got talent! the imposter or host needs to vent in the cafe to show that he or she is the imposter. you don't do task the imposter never wins because he or she is the host of the show! Please make this a real game in among us!

Hey PuffballsUnited, you guys need any help? I mean I am a student currently doing an Advanced Diploma of screen and media (games). I already have a diploma of digital and interactive games under my belt and pretty confident using Unity. :)

Oml that would be great if you helped them. I think its an amazing idea and you sound perfect.
