New Quick Chat is here! | v2023.7.11

Time for another update Crewmates!

While you were getting all comfy with the Pusheen Cosmicube and giving some well deserved pets to the new fluffly members of the crew, we were busy with our newest update: 2023.7.11



[h2]Fun Stuff[/h2]

Last update, we brought you a brand new hub in the form of our new main menu! The changes to our look and UI continue with our brand new Quick Chat!

The old radial wheel is gone and now we have a Quick Chat Builder which slides out from the right side of your screen! See phrases you use regularly? Want easy access to 'yeet' ? That's where the new favorite option comes in.


Other features of the new Quick Chat include:
  • Refined categories
  • More remarks and phrases
  • Color coded Crewmate names
  • A nice little visual bounce when the Quick Chat Builder opens
Our UI expert, Lucy worked really hard to redesign Quick Chat to be more user friendly and make accusing your friends a breeze. Before you start chatting away, let's take a look at what else is going on!

[h2]Ghostface is Back![/h2]



They're baaaaaaaaack. Ghostface has made a reappearance in Among Us. Check out the details here!
And of course, we have some other fixes coming your way during this update.

[h2]Patch Notes[/h2]
  • Fixes for various achievements
  • Fix for various cosmetics
  • Map can now be opened with a controller if the chat menu is open during an Emergency Meeting

That's all the notes for this round, Crewmates. We'll keep squashing bugs as they come up so you can betray each other without worry. I'm gonna pass it over to Mike for the bug zone.

Typing furiously,

Dors




I want everyone to know that when Dors asked me to do a Bug Zone write up, he labeled on his draft as "Mike's cool section"

Wha-what!? I have to be cool? Oh...no pressure or anything! (wipes sweat from visor)

Uh, okay, so. Bugs.

Some players have noticed an issue recently where the kill button wasn't working under certain conditions. The bug has been squished (yay), but anyone who still has an issue should please submit a bug ticket along with screenshots and video if you can get one. That's how we know what to squash, y'all!

Known Bugs
  • [Crossplatform] An issue where some players do not receive an achievement despite having met the requirements.
  • [Crossplatform] An issue where some players receive a message "Sure is taking a while to sign in" and cannot complete log in process.
  • [Crossplatform] An issue during start up where some players receive a "Unity Error" message that force-closes the game
  • Some players have reported that uninstalling mods and reinstalling the game has solved this error.
  • [Crossplatform] An issue where some players see a black screen upon joining a game lobby
  • [Crossplatform] An issue where some players disconnect from a game and receive a message saying "Sent 6 pings that remote has not responded to"
  • [Crossplatform] An issue where the rewards screen after a match is either too large or too small
  • [Crossplatform] An issue where hovering over certain icons causes the click sound effect to play on a continuous loop.

That's all I've got this time, Crewmates! As always, please feel free to report any issues you find to our team by submitting a support ticket.

Among Us, a game with no narrative, is getting an animated series

It has been revealed that an Among Us animated series will be coming to a screen near you at some point in the future. The adaptation is currently in production at CBS Studios, who have partnered with Among Us’ developer, Innersloth, to bring the show to life (via Variety).

The creator and executive producer of the Among Us series will be Owen Dennis as part of his deal with CBS Studios. Dennis is known for being the writer of animated series such as Infinity Train and Regular Show, and given their tone, his experience certainly makes Dennis appear perfect for an Among Us adaptation.

The Among Us series will follow a similar plot to the game, which admittedly, isn’t much of a plot to begin with: “Members of your crew have been replaced by an alien shapeshifter intent on causing confusion, sabotaging the ship, and killing everyone. Root out the ‘Impostor’ or fall victim to its murderous designs.”

The greatest multiplayer game ever is getting its own TV show

Among Us has stood the test of time as one of the most popular multiplayer games ever, and it's not hard to understand why. Between its charming little bean-shaped characters to its thrilling whodunnit gameplay, Among Us is as silly as it can be scary. With all the recent news about successful TV shows inspired by video games, it comes as no surprise then that a title as big as Among Us is now getting its very own animated series.
