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 The main reason we are shooting for a sequel is because the codebase of Among Us 1 is so outdated and not built to support adding so much new content.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

make it free or one star
It literally is free on mobile. If you can't afford to cough up $5 to get it on desktop, then maybe you should do a little research into financial options, such as a job.
voice chat in online so discord doesn't have to be used mics are disabled from use during the round and disabled during meetings and maybe ghosts are able to talk during rounds and are muted in meetings just a thought
This is a good idea
Agree
Why can't I play it??
I FRICKEN PAYED FOR IT
Maybe this is a good thing...
I just want to play among with someone at intersloth
Same
I just hope you add at least a minute of penalty time/cooldown for people who leave on public match early on. some people literally join and leave until they get to be imposter. pathetic and ruining other people’s fun. if 3 people leave early on in a match with 2 imposters, the game would be imbalance immediately.
I just think there should be a uniform "quick match" of sorts where you join an online game with the rules that are intended (and in game voice chat but thats just me)
As you are going to add a henry stickmin map, add emotes, and the default emotes are DANCE OFF and DISTRACTION DANCE, lol, that would be hard but very funny.
Hey, on the comments of the AMONG US 2 announcement, a guy said to add a keyboard shortcut to kill, and that would be great, a shortcut to kill an a shortcut to report bodies and a shortcut to open sabotage menu.
These all exist in among us 1!
Q kills
E opens sabotage menu (or does tasks)
R reports bodies
I didn't know, :/, sorry, thanks for reminding me about that.
nothing wrong with not knowing! You know now and that's all that matters :)
Key remapping? Q , E r broken on my laptop and Among Us doesn't let me to remap
True.
there already is those shortcuts q for kill e for tasks vent sabotage and r for report.
But as you cancelled Among us 2, good luck, try taking the code and remaking it, it will be hard but, try doing that.
So, i'd like you to focus a bit more on Among Us 2, and place those changes on Among us 2, now, colorblind support and better servers are needed, because with colorblind support, people that are colorblind will play the game, and then the servers are "bad" (No offense), so, this is really needed on among us 1, but try adding the changes of friends and maps on among us 2.
among us 2 is cancelled and only among us will be focused on. everything that was going to be added in among us 2 will be added into among us. it literally says that right up there. so they cant focus on something that no longer exists
don’t change to much
Ya maintain the simplicity
finally people who arent sus
Map creator would be sick to see in among us.
Random Roles i came up with
TWINS- The Twins are Life Linked together. If one twin dies the other twin dies.But! if a Saviour Accidently DIsables their Ability then the Twins have 2 Meetingsnot Being Life Linked. (Crewmate)
RASCAL- The Rascal is a isnt an Imposter but! Its on the Imposter side. The Rascal can Bug, Deactivate, and Minus the Task Bar. Bug- Bug makes sure the crew cannot see the Taskbar until Meeting. Deactivate-Deactivate stops the Taskbar from recieving tasks only once for a short time.Minus- Minus The Taskbar by 5 percent once.(Imposter) (only 1 Rascal)
FAMOUS CREWMATE- As The Famous Crewmate. Your Tasks and Vote is 2x. (only 1 FC)
TERRI- Terri is a Imposter role. Where its an Imposter but you cant kill Two Randomly Chosen Crewmates. (if there is no other imposter. You turn back into imposter)
DASH- Dash is not an Ability its just a role. You go 2x faster as normal Crewmates and you can go in vents. But if an Imposter comes into the vent with you. You get killed by the Imposter.
THE BAD OMEN- The Bad Omen is a Physic role thats on the Imposter side. So! you can Check a role Once every Meeting. Dont get caught. :)
Thats it for Roles
flicker player?
if roles are easily distinguishable by other people (like you suggest twins/dash), people would immediately exclude them from being voted so it’ll be easy to track imposters from the remaining number
Hahaha you take notes from Werewolf weren't you?
Map Suggestions
Crash Site
Jungle (add Henry Stickmin eastereggs if added :D)
Abandoned Spaceship.
it would be cool if you could add the option to disable specific tasks for accessibility
Good luck with all of that!
One suggestion i forgot to include is for freeplay. All the dummies do is stand there and when you self report, they just vote randomly. Perhaps a setting could be made to allow you to set the freeplay settings (like an online lobby), give the dummies tasks along with impostor and let it play out.
Stickmin space resort!
A bedcrab hat would be cool if you guys still plan on doing cosmetics updates
What about a Red Panda Fox! That would be Cute
