The Among Us Roadmap

Hey Crewmates!

Just a quick update, but as part of the Summer Games Fest, we revealed a roadmap for Among Us' future.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Here's what we have planned:

The next big update will be 15 player support with new colors (including Rose, Gray, Tan, and more), a slight graphics update, mobile controller support, and more. Details on this coming to you sooner than you think...!

Then, in no particular order, here's what we want to work on:

A new map - Map 5! Very secret. What's it gonna be on? Don't ask me! I'm sworn to secrecy, I'm bad at secrets, and I would like to keep my job.
Achievements. For anyone who wants to prove they are pros at the game. AKA not me, I'm a very anxious Impostor.
Account linking between platforms. All your save data and cosmetics, available on your platform of choice.
New roles and ways to play. VERY SECRET. OR MAYBE I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S UP.
Hide n’ Seek mode. Come out come out wherever you areee.
Visor cosmetics. Even more ways to fix a ship in style! Yes it may block your vision but at least you'll be fashionable.
Consoles (Xbox and PlayStation). I get it, you want to know when. I can't tell you. I'M SORRY. When I can I will!!
Take a nap at some point, idk, the churn of capitalism is rough

Once we can give you more concrete dates we will, but there’s A LOT to be excited for in the coming months. Keep an eye out this weekend too on our Twitter or via the newsletter... there's more we have in store for you.

See you soon!

Among Us chicken nugget sells for nearly $100,000 on eBay

Someone has spent close to $100,000 - around £70,986 - on a chicken nugget that looks a wee bit like a character from Among Us. The snack was put up on eBay by a user from America called Polizna before it went viral and attracted 184 bids, with someone then finally winning out by putting down $99,997.

The seller has listed its condition as "used' - sure, the little nuggety bean doesn't appear to have any hungry bite marks in the photos, but it makes far better sense than BNWT. The seller also adds that the item will be frozen and then air sealed to ensure freshness. Oh, and if you were wondering, the Among Us-shaped nugget came from a BTS Combo meal from McDonald's - I wonder if that adds to the value at all.

The seller also replied to a tweet from Xbox (below) saying it better come with Szechuan sauce for that price. "Joke's on them," they say. "I have Szechuan [sauce], and at buyer's request will ship some with the nugget."

Among Us is free to keep this week on the Epic Games Store

Among Us is free to keep if you grab it from the Epic Games Store this week. The social betrayal multiplayer game normally costs an already pretty small £4/$5/€4, so it's not a huge saving, but now is a good time to grab it if you've been mildly curious over all the fuss.

April Dev Log - Upcoming 15 player lobbies, new colors, and more!

Hey Crewmates!

Not a lot of super exciting news for this dev log as we work on fixing bugs and getting everything ready for our next update. But here’s a quick run down of what we’ve been working on. Boop.

[h2]Bug Updates [/h2]

If you don’t see your bug mentioned here, know that we’re aware of them! (E.g. missing skins, lag, various visual glitches, etc.) Here’s a brief summary of what’s been fixed though:

Airship uses proper background on Create Game screen now
Authentication issues when players tried to sign in has been fixed on PC and mobile
Ping counter re-added
Region text no longer always shows North America, even when in other regions
"PLAYERNAME left the game." alignment fixed
Other scaling/formatting issues fixed
Miscellaneous fixes to accounts - mostly backend stuff
Reflow in 2021.4.12 removed MismatchedProductUserIDs and NullContinuanceToken errors (multi account/device support)
Vitals color bug has been "fixed" (vitals no longer shows color names at all)

[h2]Progress Report [/h2]
- Art style: We're working on an updated art style for Among Us! Don’t worry though, it’s not too different from what you’re used to. Just cleaner lines and other improvements that’ll make animating it on the backend easier. … But imagine how horrifying it would be if it looked like this though.

- 15 player lobbies: Gather all your friends because we’re going to expand the lobby sizes! (Don’t have enough friends? Then invite your enemies. Make new enemies. Everyone is now your enemy.)

- Colours: There are a total of 6 new colours coming to the update, which we'll be revealing more in May. Considering all the colours we already have, it was actually kind of difficult to find colours that will automatically be visually distinct from all the other ones. But in terms of accessibility and colourblindness, we hope to move away from colours being the defining way people identify each other. We’re workshopping ideas for that though.

- New meeting screen: A bigger lobby means our old meeting screen won’t be able to handle all the new crewmates, so expect a bit of reworking there. There’ll also be a new intro when meetings are called that accentuates the information between the reporter and who exactly died between rounds, as seen below. Note the image below might not be final.

- General QoL update: We’ve been working with some partners to get our whole website revamped, which hopefully will give us a more centralized place to give you these updates and all our news. Plus we hope to get a better bug reporting system and general page where you can keep up to date on all the bug fixes we’ve been working on. It’s been all over the place so far, and having a more streamlined process will be easier for everyone!

----

That’s all for now! Thanks for the patience as we tackle all the bugs and get this crew wrangled in. Keep an eye out for more announcements in the future though... we’ve always got a little secret something in the works.

Cheers,
Victoria and the Innersloth Team
