Among Us
Fixes and a peek at the new map!
Hey all, Victoria here! As a quick introduction, I’m the new Community Director at Innersloth (bringing us to a grand total of 4 people on the team), which means you’ll probably be hearing from me a lot more from now on.
December is shaping up to be an extremely busy month getting a bunch of things to you. So let’s dive right into the dev log!
-- Fun news --
- Awards. We’re nominated for TWO awards for The Game Awards – Best Multiplayer and Best Mobile Game. We’re seriously all blown away by everyone who has gathered around our game and are honored to even be nominated. You can vote for us to win here.
- Merch. The official Among Us merch store has launched! Now you can sabotag—er, I mean, fix spaceships in true crewmate style.
- New map peek. We launched an official Among Us Twitter with a sneak peek at the new map! Give it a follow if you want to hear the latest, but we’ll be sure to keep our community updated wherever they are.
-- Balance changes --
- Comms sabotage hides task arrows
- Comms red light no longer immediately responds to the correct position
-- Bug fixes --
- Fixed camera flinging on security cams
- Fixed inaccurate admin table on Polus
- Fixed Polus panels reachable through walls
- Fixed temperature mini-game in Polus for iOS
- Fix solo-complete reactor/seismic exploit
- Fix align engine exploit and softlock
-- What’s coming up? --
- Accounts. One of our biggest priorities has been to get our account system nailed down and in line with privacy policies. The first focus for accounts will be to get reporting and moderation integrated ASAP. We want our game and communities to be welcoming, respectful places, so this will be a first step in tackling the toxicity and hacking. Thank you for being excellent to each other in the meantime! If you have any issues, you can send reports to support@innersloth.com.
- Languages. We’ve been getting the game localized so Among Us can be enjoyed anywhere! Currently, the plan will be to get these languages in: French, Italian, German, Spanish EU and LA, Dutch, Russian, BR and EU Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino (Bisaya). There will be more to come, but as we said, accounts first!
- Mobile ads. There have been a lot of issues with inappropriate ads on mobile, so until 2021, they’ll be removed. Enjoy! Think of it as a small thank you for all the support you’ve given us. :) Everyone who paid to remove ads, don't worry. We're gonna re-add them and make sure you get something extra for paying. More than anything, we just want to improve everyone’s experience, and not just ignore your concerns.
Whew, did you read all that? Good, because you’ll be tested on it in the next dev log (joking). There’s going to be quite a bit of news in December, so make sure you keep an eye out on our Twitter or Discord!
And, as always, thank you for all of the support.
- Victoria

i like the accont system so i dont have to rebuy stuff when im on an other device playing the game.
also i reaaly like the Right hand man crewmate skin i hope you add it
I wonder how accounts are going to work, as someone who changes their in-game name when playing with different people. I still hope I am allowed to do that.
I hope we can immediately join a game someone we have friended (when or if that's a thing) is in.
congrats!
Congrats! I'm a game developer myself and am looking to open my own merch store, what tool did you use to create your shop?
Woo! The airship is launching! I'm excited for the new map and customizations!
Im honestly surprised you still haven't fixed two thing :
- Bug : When imposter kill crewmate in Navigation between the chair near the upload task and crosshair the body disappear (missing) we cannot see the body but we can still report
- Bug 2 : Force all users to use latest version of the game because whenever someone join with old version we don't have the same parameters for example (anonymous votes)
"bug" 1 isnt a bug, the body is just concealed by the chair
bug 2.... if this was fixed that would mean people playing on the beta would have to switch versions every time they want to play normal games.
Also having everyone playing on the same version would help isolate old bugs on older versions from being produced. Having everyone playing the same version makes the experience better, even if it means everyone has to update.
Since when TommyInnit is here tho?
This website is not for children Timmothy.
Your computer privileges will be suspended for two weeks.
Edit: I do realize that this is not the actual tommyinnit for obvious reasons
So... any news on when we'll be able to get pets on a SAFE TO USE version of the game on PC? With the fact that Steam's been a health risk for over a year now, and with how often I've mentioned it in the comments (providing multiple reference links, here, have a new one https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/discussions/3/2962768084999962... ) you'd think someone might have noticed it's worth taking seriously.
steam is safe to use... the only way i can see steam having any health risks is through epilepsy, in that case they shouldnt be playing games in the first place as it is too risky for them.
Since the new library update, it's been causing issues for people who normally HAVEN'T had issues with prior versions of Steam, any other game launcher ever, and a variety of games. It's not just affecting people with epilepsy (which is a condition you're grossly misunderstanding and misrepresenting with that comment, btw), but migraines and vertigo, as well as some autistic spectrum users. It's been a problem for over a year, and the closest to an official response so far has been to make it worse by blocking access to the safe workarounds that used to exist. The link I posted earlier was a recent post by a Steam community moderator, but there are older topics about it too:

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!
that looks sick
weeeee whoooooooooo 😅
cool cant wait for accounts
oh no
i was right
OH MY GOSH A NEW AMON US MAP
Notice!
Any plan porting to linux?
You can purchase Among Us on Steam, then you have to activate/enable Steam Play in Steam settings (along with Enable Steam Play for all other titles), which is a platform support feature for games that don't natively support it. After that you should be able to play Among Us (mostly) issue free. Though I would only try this if you already intended to purchase the game on Steam, as lack of official Linux support doesn't guarantee any success with Steam Play, especially since Steam Play might not fully support Among Us.
I did. It doesn't work on my machine. I tried several versions, still doesn't work.
My bad. I probably shouldn't have encouraged someone to purchase a game to gamble whether it will be playable on their computer.
Just curious, do you have "Enable Steam Play for all other titles" checked? I would recommend a proton version, but I don't know what the effects of the different versions have on different hardware. If you do and have tried the different proton versions with the game, then you should disregard what I have said so far.
Yes I do. Still doesn't work (won't launch the game at all). I refund it.
Kind of dumb because the game use Unity, it should be easy to port the game to linux.
"mostly issue free" if you ignore that Steam's been a literal health risk for some users for over a year, you mean?
This is an issue, I agree, many people with issues like epilepsy or people with chronic migraines have had issues with the new UI, Steam should have a notice when you load the program that gives you the option to go to the non visual game list for those people. But this is a very small problem, and it is Steam's problem, not Among Us' problem.
"very small" LITERALLY SERVICE BREAKING problem is not what "very small" means any more. There is literally no reliable and safe option to use which isn't a health risk and actually gives you proper access to basic functionality.
And no, it's not directly a game problem, but it IS a problem for users who can't use Steam but still want pets on PC.
Thank you for making me aware of this. I hadn't realized that there are harmful elements of the user interface that displace part of the population and prevent them from enjoying their favorite games, especially when Steam is the main marketplace for video games on PC. I can see why a lack of a linux port hurts the players of the game.
