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 The main reason we are shooting for a sequel is because the codebase of Among Us 1 is so outdated and not built to support adding so much new content.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

can you please make it so if players leave within the first match they get a game-cooldown in among us? i hate when like 3-5 people just leave withing 3 seconds of the game.
they do have a 5 minute cool down if you leave too many games too quickly.
no, they dont. but thats still not enough. they should make it 20 mins or something, 5 min is nothing
the one person who downvoted this probably does this
ADD A MAP MAKER
they will never ever do that, you can dream all you want, but a level maker for among us is incredibly unlikely, but hey, it could still happen, but if it were, it would take a really long time, innersloth is a pretty small development team, so to make something thats comparable to super mario maker would be alot of effort, and if it did happen, it would most likely be its own game, or in a new innersloth game.
When Among Us 2 comes out in the future, the source code for the original game would be leaked, so that players could run their own servers, and modders can make new experiences
Did you even read the post
i think you should add support for mac book but I do play it on my phone and it is really fun I just wish I could play it on computer(mac book). Thanks.
I love watching games where the users user voice chat. It would be cool to have voice chat in Among Us.
Building voice chat into the game seems like a pretty big tasks so at least building in a way to interface with a piece of software like Discord would be cool. You could have the game have an API that sends out events and it could tell the voice software (Discord being very popular now) when someone is a live or dead or when people should or shouldn't be able to talk having it mute or move people to different channels you pick.
Thoughts?
one of the things highlighted in the q&a with bigboaby (rob from sr) was voice chat in among us 2, they said they were trying to work on it, but the first attempt of voice chat was in among us 1, and it was a attempt that failed pretty much from the beggining, but since they said that they would be bringing most features that they were planning on for among us 2 going into among us 1, voice chat could very well be a possibillity.
I feel like they could say in the lobby picker which ones have voice or not, that way the people in the voice won't have an advantage over those who aren't in the call
wow!
I'm really looking forward to the things up and coming! Im currently playing on my phone, and I would love to play on PC but all I have is my macbook do you guys think there will ever be a way to play on Mac in the future? I really want to be able to play on my laptop lol.
they might be working on a mac port, but nothing is official yet, but dont turn to illegal mac ports of the game, like said, its i l l e g a l.
Really looking forward to it! I'm currently having issues with among us on steam, the audio randomly stopped working and i can't seem to fix it, I've tried playing other games and the audio is fine on those, so it's among us itself that isn't working, does anyone know how to fix this?
this is also a issue on mobile, i currently do not know how to fix this issue
(Still) need a way to get pets on PC outside of Steam. Because Steam is (still, almost a year later) a known health risk for some users, and I can no longer use it - am in the process of pursuing legal action against the company over their failure to maintain the promised access to my account because of it.
LOL
What? How is steam a health risk? It's just as much of a health risk as any other app
It's been known to Valve since early November last year that the update at the end of October caused the client to become a problem. It's causing migraines and setting off epileptic seizures in people who have conditions which are otherwise unaffected by any other known software, as well as a similarly unique-seeming effect on some people with vertigo experiencing headaches and nausea as a result of the new client. There's a number of possible mechanisms which are inherently part of the new update which can cause each of these problems, but also a number of people who are being affected even when circumventing the specific obvious triggers which could be responsible, indicating there's something else going on beyond the surface-level issues with it.
Ah, I just looked it up and turns out people have been having issues with steam since the new interface update; Is this what you were talking about? Or is it something else? If it is what you are talking about, you can always go to view - small mode to bring it back to how it used to be, therefore people with epilepsy and similar health concerns can use it without such contrasting colors.
I honestly thought you were talking about some weird conspiracy, and i think others may have too. I hope this clears up the original comment more.
If the interface change isn't what you were talking about, please tell me what in specific you think is going on with steam; I'm curious, as I don't see anything else relating to possible steam health concerns.
Thanks
Yes, the issues since the new client update (end of October last year) are what I'm talking about. And no, small mode doesn't fix it for everyone - and I'm one of the unlucky ones that doesn't fix it for. SOMETHING about the behaviour of the client outside of just the visual UI changes is affecting people too. And even for those who it DOES fix it for, it doesn't, because there's several core required functions that aren't accessible in small mode, and it's easy to misclick when doing several other things and have it automatically turn itself back into a health risk.
What are you talking about? You can literally buy it from this very page, just scroll up.
You can buy the GAME on this page.
You can't buy PETS, which are what I was talking about.
Who gives a shit, it doesn't affect the game at all.
Except the fact that it would give me something to give the devs money for, which would mean more money to help keep the game being developed and supported and keep servers running.
But yeah, other than having a massive impact on the game for the foreseeable future, no impact.
You can give money on itch though
Super excited for the future changes! Can’t wait to see how it pans out, love the game!
among us 2 is a GOOD idea but make it free so more people will play it? (everyone without money and with money) its how roblox got its fame
But game with sequel will kill the popularity so that's not a good idea
dude, the reason among us 1 is free on mobile, is because its on mobile, it comes with removable ads, thats why its free on mobile, you wouldn't want a ad about god damn donut on your pc game would you?
I love donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad. donut ad.
grow some pubes
Will there ever be support for mac?
I like a lot this game, and i am having so much fun with it. When i read this, i felt so happy, because my feeling is: you're so responsable, more responsable than AAA games comapanies that in my opinion are so ignorant when the conversation is about releasing games and adding content on 'em. You literally just throuthed the Among Us 2 idea and decided to re-build Among Us 1 in prol of add content on it. You fascinates me, good luck and sucess!
And leaving this conversation, i think what gets the game boring sometimes are the cheaters, one sugestion is put some Anti-Cheat system on Among Us (principally on the game's pc version), it would be awesome.
AND ADD BRAZILLIAN SERVERS, S2.
Like the rest of humanity, recently I have been excessively playing Among Us. And it is such a great game (my brain hurts on so many levels). I have been tearing my hair out at the weird logistics of some players and the amazing gameplay of others. When playing as imposter, I have noticed how irritating it can be when a dead body is found seconds after you made your kill. An idea came to me today that imposters should be able to hide dead bodies. In the vents. When imposters move dead bodies into vents their speed is reduced, increasing the risk for imposters. However once bodies are hidden, they cannot be reported. Vents already containing dead bodies should be inaccessible by imposters as well. (some people already attempt to hide bodies by aligning themselves with the dead body so why not make it real function?)
that wouldnt really work...
The current “role” that the imposter has is to kill people, make people think others did it, and not get caught. Being caught in the middle of the kill is the real time you should play that role.
Thank you for this beautiful game Among Us. I wanted to tell you that there are a lot of Turkish players in the game currently and is there a way to bring Turkish language to the game? If needed, I can translate everything voluntarily. I don't want anything in return. I hope you consider Turkish language. Thank you in advance.
well yes, that what volunteering is
Hello! This game sounds great, but my question is can we earn in game money to buy stuff that we would buy with real money in Among Us 1? Like pets and skins, etc. and if we can’t, if i buy a pet on Among Us 1, will it save to Among Us 2? I play on an IPhone, so maybe you could connect your game to Game Center, and then our progress would save and mAyBe it’ll be saved to Among Us 2?? I have no idea, because i don’t make games, but I am planning on adopting a child, but i don’t want to use my money on something that might be abandoned, or something that I might now have to use money on at all! :))
The Among Us 2 idea was scrapped. The development team decided to just add more to the first game and keep it going. So you don't have to worry about transferring between games because there no longer is or will be a second one.
Yeah, right after I posted that comment I found it out. I have now adopted 2 children 😊
buy the PC version
Let us adopt pets from dead crewmates :(
Oh and maybe we could friend people on among us?
So maybe when one friend is in a game you have the option to join their game
Maybe you could add pets in itch io????!?!?!??!?!!?!?
can you add a report feature for cheater please
So basically... Emotes? :D
*gets caught laughing on top of your kill*
“I was paying respect bro its not me dude i swear”
we don't want the same 7yr olds fornite players doing among us emotes in the street when we go to buy the bread
Much better to work on the original than a sequel :)
