New Food Cosmicube & Patches

Hi Crewmates!

We just released the latest update to Among Us, featuring some more fixes and quality of life updates. Here’s what you can expect in version 2022.8.23, out now on all platforms!

Edit: Thank you for your patience today as we push through some new bugs. We're currently working on a fix to address the lag issues we're seeing when players leave a game in the middle of a match. It seems to be affecting Impostors and Guardian Angels.

Hoping to have a resolution soon!

Edit 8/25/2022: Thank you for your patience! The hotfix to address the lag issue is live and under v2022.8.24. Please be sure to update!

[h3]New stuff and patch highlights:[/h3]

Food Cosmicubes! Spend your beans (and stars) on all new food themed cosmetics. You will look like an absolute snack. You may in fact look a little too delicious and be murdered by an Impostor but at least... uh.... hm.... Anyways it’s available now!

Change the map from the lobby without restarting. I’ve seen you all be like “wow that took you long enough” and yeah! It sure has! What are you gonna do fight me???? (Please do not fight me, I am weak and cry easily.)
New featured page on the store. A new way to display new or interesting Cosmicubes and cosmetics. These will have their own section at the top of the store!
Star purchasing also have an updated tab with a shiny new look

Beans and Pods multiplier SFX now tied to the SFX volume slider. Now you can control how loud you want your gains to be!

[h3]Other changes:[/h3]

Can now close Announcements with the ESC key on PC
Door logs now display player icon cosmetics
Store and inventory changes:
New store sorting: the store is now sorted from newest to oldest
Visual indicator to show which cosmetics and Cosmicubes you’ve already purchased
Added a limited time banner for future cosmetics & Cosmicubes that it applies to
Sanctions and censoring changes:
Sanctions now display correctly instead of a general error when trying to enter matchmaking

[h3]Before you’d see this:[/h3]

[h3]Now it’ll say something similar to this: [/h3]

Links are now properly censored in chat
Warnings are now issued for censored links
Friends List and accounts:
Friends List now displays in alphabetical order
Win 10 - Players are now moved into their friend’s lobby when accepting invites from the game bar
Users are properly signed into account if they are given account linking permissions

And those are the changes on the game side! If you want to see the bug fixes we’ve made (and we’ve made a bunch!) read Krys’ Bug Zone below to get the details.

We’re still working on Hide n Seek as our next big content update to the game, and a ton of progress is being made there. You might still see some fun collabs pop up in the meantime though!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Cheers,

Victoria

Hiya! Hope you’re all cooling off with a cold beverage in the Cafeteria.

Bug fixes were definitely a thing this time around, and we’re super happy we got to smash a bunch of outstanding bugs that were giving you grief.

But first, let me reach out to YOU and thank you for being such outstanding members of our community. Whenever there are instances of bad behavior in our game, you are quick to act and help our team address these issues and enact any appropriate actions. In case you need a refresher, here’s how you report someone in-game:

In the Lobby or during meetings, open the Chat.

Click on the Kick icon.

Select the player you want to report.

Click on Report.

Select the reason for the report.

Click on Confirm.

If someone is engaging in illegal activity, please use the in-game report function and send us an email at [email protected] with what you reported and your Among Us Account ID. We appreciate you!

Alrighty. On to the crunchy bugs. Let’s take a closer look at what we've addressed:

Some hat cosmetics needed minor tweaks to display correctly
Updated names on a few Airship Cosmetics
Fixed cosmetics overrunning chat window when scrolling through messages
Implement Login flow on iOS and Google Play (users 13 and younger) – users will be able to login with a Temporary Account
Mira HQ – Vitals for Scientist now shows ‘Comms Sabotaged’ message when Impostor initiates Sabotage action
Mira HQ – Fixed issue where colorblind text displayed in Door Log even if setting was inactive
Friends List – Requests are now received correctly after adjusting the “Friend & Lobby Invites” option multiple times
Fixed SFX audio on Empty Garbage task
Fixed SFX track playing on music track during decontaminate task in The Airship
Fixed missing animation frame of Twitch Glitch pet during idle animation
Fixed character icon highlighting during Emergency Meetings
Fixed issue where Colorblind Text and Streamer Mode settings were skipped when attempting to select with a controller while in active gameplay
In-game bug reporting – This helps us Sloths and isn’t really anything you have to worry about, but the game is now able to better log any errors, so we have more insight on bugs
Egypt Server Issues – Fix for network and connectivity for players in Egypt on all platforms

PHEW, speaking of cold beverages earlier, I could really go for some boba. Do you think Crewmates all hang out and drink boba in the Cafeteria? Is boba deadly in the hands of an Impostor? I could really go for some Impostor boba fanart...

Tapioca-ly yours,

Krys

Note from Victoria: Popping in here to unnecessarily tell you all my normal boba tea order is a roasted oolong milk tea with 30% sugar, no ice, with pudding. Tweet at us your normal drink orders!!

Congrats on making it down to the fun zone for August! I’m t̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶i̶n̶a̶l̶ ̶b̶o̶ss̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶d̶e̶v̶ ̶l̶o̶g̶ Dors (please don’t fight me either). Victoria and Krys covered lots of ground on our highlights and bug fixes, so I found a few fun pieces from the community! Be sure to check out our full dev log to see some really fun creations.

I'll be on the look out for more fun creations for us all to sink our teeth into but that's all for now, Crewmates! I'm off to get some Taro boba (with strawberry popping bubbles).

TTFN,
Dors

The Jev Log (July dev log)

Hi Crewmates!

The next thing we’re working on are some general updates and improvements that didn’t make it in the last update. Will get you a full list upon release, but here are some things to look forward to:

New Cosmicube! 👀 You’ve been wanting more cosmetics and ways to spend your Stars and Beans, and don’t worry, something is coming. It’s a secret for now but let’s just say it’ll be delicious.
Automatic game error reporting. This is more of a backend fix that you won’t see, but it’s cool enough to note! Essentially we’re implementing a system that alerts us if certain platforms or devices are experiencing weird crashes or other errors, which helps us pinpoint bugs to fix more easily. One step closer to getting an in-game bug reporting feature, wooOOOoOOo.
The ability to change the map in the lobby settings without having to leave and start a new game.
Small store and inventory redesigns, bug fixes, and more improvements. Keep an eye out!

This will come out soon/at some point/in the future/eventually/one day. In the meantime, we have put out a hotfix in v2022.7.12 aimed at the networking issues for players in Egypt. If it goes well, it'll be pushed to other platforms.

After the next update, Hide n Seek is still the big update we’re working on getting out this year and let’s just say we have a lot planned for it heheheh.

In the meantime, have fun, play nice, sabotage those Crewmates!

Cheers,

Victoria

Hello dear Crewmates! I hope you’re looking forward to all the interstellar content we’ve got cookin’.

We had a few hiccups since our last log, whether it be server interruptions or some login issues, but things were wrangled quickly—in no small part because all of YOU were quick to let us know and give us all the information we needed to eject those bugs right into space. Thank you for being so patient and kind when it comes to that kinda stuff!

We are currently working hard to wrap up some weirdness involving Star purchasing and DLC, so please continue to let us know if you experience any problems related to these new things.

And for some awesome news: we now have a ✨shiny✨ new Help Center!! You can troubleshoot common issues here, learn more about our game, and use our super helpful Support Ticket feature. This ensures that if you have an issue, we get as much problem-solving info from you as possible from the get-go—which means we can help you much faster!!

That’s about it from me. Thanks for reading, as always!

Krys

Hiya Crewmates! Dors here with more for the Fun Zone!

Been having a lot of fun in our Discord with an emoji contest and even playing the best game of Among Us with members of the Discord. Much betrayal was had and we’re just getting started!

If you haven’t joined for any of the above events or are looking for a space to share some fanart, chaotic conversations, or looking for fellow Crewmates to betray play with, consider joining.

Also, if you haven't peeped our official Tiktok, you might see a new face making content- me! Don't worry. I'm not playing an Impostor. Maybe.

We had quite a few great art finds. Check out the full dev log to see. Thanks for reading, Crewmates!
TTFN,
Dors

Small Patch Notes - v2022.7.12

Hi Crewmates!

Minor update just went out for version 2022.7.12 to fix networking and connectivity issues for players in Egypt. We're testing this out on PC versions of the game, and further fixes will come out to other platforms soon.

Thanks for playing!

Dors (totally not an Impostor of Victoria)

Bug Bashing Bonanza Update

Hi Crewmates!

No long preamble here – I have lots to share! Our team worked SO HARD and we managed to fix 100+ issues that were bothering you in Among Us. Here’s a big list of most of them, so make sure you’re update to version 2022.6.21, now out on all platforms.

First up: we’ve been listening to you! I know you’ve all wanted a lot of things improved in the game and I am happy to say we’ve changed some things to hopefully make your lives easier.

Quality of Life Improvements & Implemented Community Suggestions

Added a Streamer Mode. When active, room codes do not display in the lobby and is replaced by “Click to copy”. This can be toggled on or off in the General Settings.

Added Colorblind Settings. When active, the names of the colors will appear next to the players during meetings, and below the player during gameplay.

Account linking is back. Follow the in-game instructions carefully as we’ve removed Guest Accounts, but it should make it an easier process. More information on the new Account Linking here.
Players are now able to view the map from the voting screen.
Friends List – The player’s last display name will appear above a player’s Friend Code.

We definitely have wayyyy more planned in future, so keep playing the game and letting us know how you feel (nicely, pleaseeee) and I promise we’ll be listening.

But I’m not done this post yet – now for the some of the many fixes which made it into the game.

[h3]Biggest Fixes[/h3]

Loading screen now waits for every player in the lobby when loading into a round
Kills can no longer happen when an Emergency Meeting is being called
Players in game should no longer randomly lose the ability to interact with map, complete tasks, or kills
Quick Chat wheel can be used as intended while a task (Download Data / Upload Data) is being completed. Players will no longer be forced to close and re-open chat
Smooth Talker achievement can now be unlocked if the second to last Crewmate leaves the game
Players should no longer see the ‘Sure is taking a while’ error message when launching Among Us
Friend Codes no longer duplicate across all players when player and host rejoin lobby
Resolved desync issue when player reports body while climbing ladder
Redeem pop up message for Scream cosmetics no longer prompts. Redemption period for this cosmetic has passed!
Players will no longer see ‘Sure is taking a while’ if game is set to languages other than English
Players are now able to unlock the Circumventor achievement
Entering the correct date of birth no longer registers the account as age 0
Added the Language server filter to the settings in the Lobby

These are just a few of the fixes. For the entire list of fixes check out our dev log.

Thanks for being understanding about how we needed to take this time to really improve the game. Your feedback means a ton to us, and we all wanted to make sure we could start really chipping away at things that bothered you, even if it meant having to put a pause on some new content. That being said, new content is still on the horizon, so watch out!

[h3]A moment to celebrate![/h3]

June 15 was a special day for Amongis… AmongUses… AmongUs-s-sses? Now matter the plural form- Among Us has turned 4!

As part of our celebration we have brand new merch. We have the full suite of Crewmate colors, keycaps, and a bunch of new pins too. Grab yours at our store quick.

Okay now I’m actually done. Now to the rest of the dev log, onto you Krys!

Cheers,

Victoria

Howdy!!! Congrats on trudging on through our expansive bugs crushed list—as you can see, we’ve been very busy making some important quality of life changes for YOU, friends! Yes, you. And you. You, too! Er, maybe not you over there.

Anyway! Thanks so much for reading my last Bug Zone—lots of you contacted us to get your DLC that may have fallen through the cracks when we made some account updates. If you’re still having DLC/purchases issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

That’s all from me. Til next time, Crewmates!

Hi everyone! I’m Dors – the new community manager here at Innersloth! Victoria alluded to me in last month’s update. For the most part you’ll see me around Tiktok and Discord, but I’m no stranger to Twitter and Reddit either.

Beyond helping with the social channels and running numbers, I’m also gonna be looking into community events, featuring fan art and creations in the dev log!

We call it the COMMUNITY FUN ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!

To all of you out there who are having fun and sharing your Among Us themed creations and finds- I’ll be on the look out and trying to feature you here in our dev logs if I find your work. Keep using those fan art tags!

Check out the selections over on the dev log.

TTFN,

Dors

Among Us mod makes you a capitalist House Flipper tyrant

An Among Us mod inspired by House Flipper and demonstrated by YouTube personality SSundee turns the popular social deduction game into a neighbourhood renovation simulator in the style of competitive House Flipper. Players aim to complete tasks for money and collect enough resources to build their own houses. Meanwhile the 'imposter' player, taking on the role of the 'rich guy,' aims to trash the players' houses and kill or evict them from the map.

In his video demonstrating the mod, which is currently under development by his company DoubleJump and not yet publicly available, SSundee is named as the capitalist imposter. Upon revealing his true form as a top hat-and-tails-wearing, monocle-sporting figure, sets about the map causing chaos among his fellow players.

Much like a regular game of Among Us, players must complete a variety of tasks - although here there's no ship to be maintained and fixed, but rather jobs to be completed in order to receive payment. These include filling up cars at a petrol station and making pizzas by slapping tomato, cheese, and pepperoni slices onto a base. Completing these jobs earns players money, which can be used in conjunction with wood, nails, and cement found around the map to purchase a plot of land and begin construction on your dream home.
