Bungie Collab and Announcements Update v2023.2.28 | Emergency Meeting #36

It's February, Crewmates!

Errr... it was February and boy if it didn't go by in a flash. I hope it was a great month full of finished tasks and you were able to suss out those Impostors.

This month we have some sweet things to share for Among Us including some really cool new cosmetics, changes to our announcements, and various fixes as a part of your latest update - v2023.2.28!



[h2]Fun Stuff[/h2]
  • Our first collab of the year begins with the Guardian Cosmicube, available on our store for 3500 Beans! This cube is packed full of cosmetics so you can chase Impostors, pet your pets, and complete your tasks as your favorite light-wielding Guardians from our friends at Bungie. Be sure to get your Guardian Cube by May 30, 2023 before it disappears!



[h2]Patch Notes[/h2]
  • Our announcements have a brand new look to them! Not only will it have that new Skeld smell, but you'll have the ability to see past announcements we've posted in case you want to see what happened in prior updates!

This is what our announcements used to look like:



While this has been working well - the team thought it could do with a little sprucing up. That's where our UI expert Lucy comes in! Thanks to their efforts we now have a page that looks a little something like this:



Doesn't this look great? I can't reveal too many secrets, but this is just the first of our passes for updated UI for Among Us! We'll have plenty more in store for some cool new looks.

And of course, we did some serious fixing in this patch to make sure your game runs smoother!:
  • 'Freeplay' is now called 'Practice'
  • New updated player report and pet petting icons
  • Pets no longer give away an Engineer's position when venting
  • Guardian Angel can no longer protect Crewmates while comms are sabotaged
  • Shapeshifters no longer get banned from match when attempting to shift into player who has left the match
  • Shapeshifters are no longer considered Crewmate Ghosts in matches with 2 or more Impostors
  • The first ejected Impostor now becomes a Ghost Impostor, rather than a Ghost Crewmate
    • Crewmates are able to win a match by completing tasks even after the first Impostor is ejected in a 2+ Impostor match
  • Players are now unable to see players jumping out of vents and teleporting to the Cafeteria when Emergency Meeting is called
  • Polus - The upper and lower horizontal doors for decontamination can now be opened
  • Admin now shows location of dead bodies

That's a whole lot of fixes and we'll be squashing as many as possible as we keep updating and improving our other systems in Among Us. As a quick reminder - if you think you've found a bug feel free to report it to us at our Help Desk or email us at [email protected].

See you very soon,
Dors





I bet you didn't think I'd just keep writing and writing and end up down in the Bug Zone too, did you? Well... Good news is that Krys is helping me doublecheck our list of known bugs for v2023.2.28! Thankfully, the list of bugs isn't too long and we're hoping to have these squashed ASAP:
  • [Hide n Seek] Flashlight can't be moved while pet animation is in progress while using a controller
  • [Hide n Seek] Flashlight cone will reset its position if there is no player input after 8 seconds
  • [Classic] Crewmates killed at the same time as venting will see the vent arrows persist while being a Ghost
  • [All Modes] Player Ghosts can shoot out of the map when attempting to haunt and immediately opening the Settings menu
  • Killing while petting your pet can cause the pet animation to keep playing
  • Vent arrows stay on screen if killed while venting
  • Players will see indefinite black screen if internet connection is lost while loading into an online game

That's all for bugs right now! We'll keep you updated as we knock more out with our next updates.

See you next round,

Dors & Krys





We got another solid round of community creations and art this month too! Check out our website for these lovely pieces. I can't wait to see what art you come up with next. Might I suggest some Savathûn and Osiris Impostor shenanigans? No matter what you do, just make sure you get to taking out those tasks one by one...

See you later,
Dors

Among Us 2023 Roadmap



New Year New Bean!!!

It’s time for a roadmap of what we’re hoping to bring you in 2023! I’m not allowed to spill the beans (hehe) on all the secrets but I think there’s a lot to get hyped about.

Confession: I was supposed to publish this on Jan 31 but I totally forget heh.



First off – we want to make playing Among Us an easier, more intuitive experience. This means big focus on adding multiple updates to the UI and UX (user interface and user experience, respectively) of the game. Cleaning up the account merging flow, updating the store to be easier to navigate, making it easier to see how you can report a toxic player… these are all things we want to work on, and more. We don’t want anything to get in the way of you and your tasks.

Digging further into our roadmap, here are some further detail for you (but I can’t spoil anything so be patient with meeeeee):

  • Map 5: Yep, this is finally the year we get you a whole new map to explore! I can’t tell you what the theme is, but I CAN say it’ll have all new tasks for you to figure out, come with more cosmetics, and have fun surprises hidden around. We put a TON of love into our design process for these maps – you’ll notice that all our maps often have tinyyy details in them to make them feel satisfying and fun to play, if you take a look around. (My favorite details is the little bone anatomy image in the Airship.) We don’t want to skimp out on anything, so we’re excited to finally be gearing this map up for you to play later in the year!
  • Improved Matchmaking: With Hide n Seek mode, new roles, and the customization of our lobbies, we realize that many of you want to be able to find the games you want to play more easily and quickly. That’s why a big focus this year will be on adding features to matchmaking to ensure you are closer to the type of spacebean experience you want.
  • Quickchat Rework: Quickchat is a huge part of the game experience, and we want to refine the dialogue options while also making it easier to navigate. We’re always reviewing how you all use our features and systems, so don’t think we aren’t paying attention to you!
  • Collabs: AwwWWWWWWW yesSSSSSS. Collabs are SO FUN for us to do, and we love seeing your reactions to the chaotic things we get up to with other studios. We have some big ones planned for this year, and I think you’re gonna freak out it’s so cool. (Maybe I am freaking out right now.) (AHHHH.)
  • More??????: Alright so I’m going to tell you some things we would love to do at some point in the future BUT ONLY IF WE HAVE EXTRA DEVELOPMENT TIME, CAN TEST IT, WE AREN’T DYING, MAKE SURE IT DOESN’T BREAK EVERYTHING, AND IS APPROVED BY THE HIGHER POWERS IN TIME (e.g. platform partners). OK? SO THIS IS NOT A PROMISE IT WILL HAPPEN. I swear if one of y’all are like “uh but you promised in the dev log this would be out in 2023” NO I DID NOT. THIS IS ONLY IF WE HAVE EXTRA TIME. Okay anyway – so! If we have extra time and are able to, we would loveeeeee to add some more new roles into the game. We’ve already seen the fun you’ve been having with the Shapeshifter, Guardian Angel, Engineer, and Scientist, and how it creates a whole new way to play the game. We have a lot of other ideas up in our brain space, and hope we can share that with you at some point! Another thing we hope to work on are Friends List improvements so you’re able to do much more with the people you call “friends” (that would stab you in the back the minute you’re an Impostor but whatever).


Okay that’s enough random yelling from me! Thanks for reading through this entire dev log (because you definitely did right..? RIGHT?) and hope the beginning of 2023 has been treating you well! I am personally already dying and in a pit of despair but let’s not talk about that.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Crewmates, assemble! Greetings!

I hope the New Year has been a blast for you while also blasting away in The Skeld 🚀 I wanted to share a list of known bugs that we’ve found since our Hide n Seek update in December. But don’t worry, we’re working hard on crushing every single one of them to smithereens.

  • Shapeshifters in a 2+ Impostor match are turning into a Crewmate Ghost if they were the first ones to be ejected
  • Crewmates are getting killed by a Seeker while venting in Hide n Seek
  • An “An error occurred while signing in” error message comes up while trying to merge accounts
  • Disconnect issues are happening due to high pings during peak times (nights and weekends)

We’re working on tackling these bugs and resolving them as soon as possible! As always, if you encounter any new issues, please reach out to us by submitting a ticket!

Catch you later my fellow Beanarinos! Don’t forget to eat real beans if you can. Fiber is good.

Salutations!

The roadmap looks exciting, doesn’t it? While we’re cooking up these items I’ll still be on the lookout for fanart and fun creations you’re all putting together. Speaking of together, this piece was a wonderful combination of players in our Discord adding their own Crewmates and Impostors to join our lonely Impostor.



Another super cool creation came from one of our own artists too! You may be familiar with Hannako’s work on a lot of our space beans and they got to submit this amazing arcade cabinet art for Gallery Nucleus. It even plays the Impostor theme Hide n Seek!

You can actually buy this mini cabinet (note: it’s an art piece so it doesn’t actually play the game) here!



That’s all for now! I gotta go clean some pizza out of these vents, but don’t worry – I’ll still be on the look out for your art and creations so don’t hesitate to tag your work with #amongusfanart or be posting in our Discord.
