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 The main reason we are shooting for a sequel is because the codebase of Among Us 1 is so outdated and not built to support adding so much new content.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

Here's an interesting idea for a game mode: abduction.
Basically everyone starts out as a crewmate. After a set amount of time (e.g. 3 minutes) a random person is abducted and replaced with an impostor and everyone is alerted. The game plays out mostly the same. Impostor needs to kill crewmates, crewmates need to complete tasks, you vote people out.
However, as time progresses, more and more crewmates are abducted and replaced with impostors until say, 1 or 2 crewmates are left. When that happens, the remaining crewmates need to either finish their tasks as quickly as possible or abandon ship. I call this 'run mode'. Also during run mode, voting is disabled. Anything I missed is up to you to decide if you add this to Among Us. You're free to change anything about the mode of course.
How to change the keyboard controls from wasd to something else please? I don't have a qwerty keyboard and i'm really confused. it would be great if you add a settings for this :)
When its set to keyboard, you are able to use arrowkeys as well
or go to the settings and set it to use just your mouse
hey on chromebook there's a glitch and it thinks im mobile so i can't use wasd and can't kill or sabotage while moving which could make you lose a game and it has
The reason for that is i'm assuming your using the play store and that is automatically default to mobile controls, if your chomebook doesnt have a touch screen then i recommend you use the touch play style. i dont believe they support wasd on the mobile version so this is what youre stuck with..
I have my suggestions!
1- You can make this game with better textures. The characters and accessuaries are looking very low resolotion. If you re-draw all the things, it would be much better!
2- There is no keyboard function settings, you can add that too thats very needed.
3- As optional for server settings, we also should play with the voice chat and you need a report system for the people who are abusing the system. We tired of using Discord or something to play it with more fun.
4- You can add missions like the other online games. Like "complete the cable task 5 times". You can add a level system from it and add some prizes for like each 5 levels thats up to you!
5- You definatly should make a better menus cuz it really is hard to learn how to join a server or other things.
Hope you read all the suggestions and make our favorite game better!
Absolutely agree with the missions and prizes thing along with voice chat
I dont really agree with the improve graphics. It would a) Take too long and would take alot of effort and b) The game is unique and it shows you dont need good graphics to make a good game
the simplistic graphics in this game is what drew me to it. its perfect the way it is. i agree things could be added like voice chat. but a level system or any type of ranking system would ruin this game. additions like friends list, voice chat, custom named lobbies and server stability are all it really needs. but to be really really honest. i love the game the way it is as it is now and ill welcome any changes but the simplistic design and everything else about how it is now is what makes it the perfect game.
Hello innersloth peaple, how are you? I hope everything is alright!
I have a simple question about among us.
Why not develop a among us API?
I'm a discord bot developer and i have a project to make a among us discord bot, but i need information to the game (winner(name, color) and moment(game or discussion).
Surely, Leonardo 'Furao'
Would love this as well! I am looking to connect little projects to among us but all of the API is hidden.
I suggest to add an audio sharing feature. For the gamers to not use third party apps anymore like discord.
Also, I hope it will be more realistic like the graphics of COD etc. Wherein you go round like a real person. This will be more horrific and suspenseful like an SCP game.
We demand to convert "Among us" game to 3D#

Dont do this. It would take too much effot and is just a waste of resources.
NOPE, do not do this, the graphics are brilliantly simplistic and if you were to change them im sure alot of people would definitely stop playing.
I suggest adding an option to either
A: turn the task bar off entirely
or
B: make it so that you can only see your individual task bar
or
C: task bar delay
this way people cant just watch the task bar to decide who the imposter is cause that's super lame.
also a setting to adjust the sabotage cooldown if possible.
people need something to figure out who the impostor is and if your with a smart impostor then they know what tasks can be faked that wont show a bar go up until the last step and by that time if your still following the kill cooldown will most likely be up and then your dead so really nothing you said is needed.
So my list of suggestions to improve the game:
- make something that prevent the "vote hack" consisting of instantly end the vote of emergency meeting by the hacker.... it is annoying because we can't even know who is the hacker to ban him...
- support up to 20 players (4 imposters)
- increase your discord's capacity, I still can't join it because it have a limit of 600 000 members...
- stop make the auto win if equal number of crewmate and imposter, give a chance to crewmates to win by tasks. If they report a body, then get a message "but nobody came" if equal number or lower number of crewmate.
- add blind mode: imposters don't know who are the other imposters and can kill themself ... if it is added, it is important to accept the suggestion above.
- add a new role (possible to add via settings if at least 3 imposters): the true imposter. If the true imposter is here, friendlykill is active. The goal of the true imposter is to be the last survivant (kill other imposters too, he can't win with them)
- IMPORTANT: add a new option to the distance-kill below "short", because short it is still too much, I get killed far away time to time... so add the new "close", which is shorter then "short".
- add translation to the french language (I can help if needed)
- NEVER add voice chat unless you can separate games by language and only as option in settings. Not everyone understand the spoken english, and it is really boring to not have visual on the things said.
- add a map editor and eventually custom tasks. The player can share publically (others can "download" it to use it as host) or keep it private (only him can start it via host). Players can still play the custom map by joining the server.
- add a special cooldown at start that prevent players to use the emergency metting button (cooldown removed if a body was reported) to prevent trolls that press the button directly after the game started.
- new game-mode: "the thing", possible to active via settings. if ON, when the imposter kill a player, he take his name, color and skin and instead of a dead body, a "residu" of his old color.
- friend system and the possibility to join your friend's games (even if in progress) as long it is public game. You will be able to watch but not interact with the game. When the game end, you can join the next game via the button like other players.
The discord thing does need to be fixed
mac book please im trying to play and i dont want to install external apps that helps launch amongs us on mac pls pls pls add it to mac
As a mac user I have to say your comment is retarded
If they make the new stage payed and then make it free after I buy it again I'm going to die laughing
They definitely won't lol
I would love to be able to host private server by ourselves, the ping is really annoying (no offense the game is still great) but it would be great to be able to just create an Among Us server and let it run whenever you want with friends
PLZ MAKE IT FREE ON PC AND CONTROLLER SUPPORT PLZZZZZ THATS THE ONLY THING I WANT WHO AGREES??
They need to make money from pc
Yup exactly, it's already free on Android I think it's super nice from them, and the game is like 5$ you can buy a PaySafeCard for 10 bucks
Please make it available on Linux!
Puedes usar wine
Wine is not a solution, it's not likely to work well with the game.
Wine no es una solución, no es probable que funcione bien con el juego.
We, the users of Linux, do not want to use Wine. We want native games.
please make it compatible with MacBooks 🥺
For the love of god add button remappin, idk how bad your code is but, speaking from experience, adding button remapping in unity isn't hard.
tbh an awesome game can't wait to see what you'll do with it
PLEASE MAKE AMONG US COMPATIBLE WITH MACBOOKS
yes we need it 🥺
You could always try playing it using bluestacks, or similar.
bluestacks is laggy af and it doesnt have keyboard controls, im having to use a virtual machine
yessss
