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 for all platforms (minus PlayStation and Nintendo) 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 very long list of fixes we’ve made to the game.

Now that was a lot – and not even all of the minor fixes! 

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! 

A moment to celebrate!

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.

And before I head off, I have other Among Us related news: 

• Among Us VR Trailer: Among Us VR is coming out this holiday 2022! We recently dropped a new trailer as part of the Summer Games Fest and you might notice some really fun things about it… Hehehe. 

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

Cheers, 

Victoria

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! 

Here’s a few for this update: 

Ryans_not_home on Reddit found a new work buddy.

Last Crimson on Twitter brought in some very cozy vibes on their Crewmate.

Nuclear Chuu on Twitter has been hard at work practicing their animating! Check out their hard work on these slick animations.

These are great and only the beginning of what we hope to feature in our Community Fun Zone! Can’t wait to see what y’all are doing in the community! 

TTFN, 

Dors
