Banishing Bothersome BugsMar 5, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsMarch! That's not a command - just the month of this devlog! On the heels of our Lunar New Year cosmetic drops, it's now time for a few changes. We also have a bunch of fixes and quality-of-life updates to make it even easier to complete your tasks. Hint: the task is to betray your friends. Before you get ejected, let's take a peak. NOTE: v2024.3.05 IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH OLDER VERSIONS. UPDATE YOUR GAME TO KEEP PLAYING WITH EVERYONE. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33836086/3233894b015d4b1b286c6b162017152f1e72532f.png Fixing more than just the vibes While a Crewmate's life can be cut drastically short (don't look at me like that), it doesn't mean we can't give it a little bump in quality - don't worry Impostors, this is for you too. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33836086/144c77b80175735899ed955ca783fbf60e49b04b.png Here's the list of fixes with today's update: Crewmates will no longer teleport or 'snap' to a task when starting one. Main Menu no longer goes to black screen after quickly selecting a map from the Practice Menu. A variety of cosmetic fixes so you can continue having good drip. RB and R1 prompts don't appear on the screen twice when using cams on controller. Lobby Settings won't remain on screen at the start of a match. Previewing items in a Cosmicube display on your selected Crewmate color instead of defaulting to Red. The Impostor count no longer reduces twice when an ejected Impostor leaves the game. Crewmates will not get stuck in the climbing animation while on a ladder when a sabotage ends. Crewmates hats no longer float behind them when riding the zipline. They finally hold onto their hats. Crewmates will no longer clip through the map if they are using the zipline or ladders when a sabotage ends. The "You're Boned" cosmetic icon is now correctly displayed. That is quite a healthy list of fixes but our programmers will be vigilant and keep looking to fix more bugs as they show themselves! If you think you've seen one scuttling about, please send us a support ticket so we can get to squashing. I'm gonna hand the update over to Mike and I'll see you all again at the bottom of the page. (Please read that far, we work so hard on this.) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33836086/94d8655eeaae4a22739ed8719791e8b7a5e11d66.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33836086/ac6426ec0548252afae71ba15a0a3f10390b3db9.png STOMP STOMP STOMP Hey, Crewmates! We're still busy STOMP STOMP squishing as many STOMP bugs as we STOMP STOMP can. Phew! But the task never ends, and we're always on the lookout for new bugs to crush. Some are tricky, though, and take a while to figure out even after we know where they like to hide. Down below you'll find a short list of bugs we already know about but that we haven't quite figured out the best way to stomp out. Known Bugs: Crewmates may sometimes leave their hand behind on the zipline. Player's left hand may not appear as the correct color while wearing the Right Hand Man skin and using the zipline.

Happy Lunar New Year 🧧Feb 8, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsI hope your holiday was Impostor free and full of the most delicious of hot chocolates. Everyone at the studio is prepping for an exciting 2024 and we can't wait to share our roadmap (A.K.A. plan) with all of you, but we have a few updates to bring you first. We can't just vent to the new goodies like an Impostor or something... Note: You will need to restart your game to see the changes.

Back in June, last year, it was announced that Among Us, a game with no narrative, is getting an animated series. We haven't really heard much about it since then, but earlier this week the official Among Us Twitter account shared an image from the show, and yeah, it looks like a still from an Among Us animated series! "Patient Crewmates are rewarded with a pizza party (totally safe) (not a trap)," reads the caption for the image, which shows an empty cafeteria, each table hosting a delicious pizza pie. At the back of the mess hall you can see some balloons (yay!) and a banner with a big blood splatter in the middle of it, making it so that the text on it reads "we're dead" (boooo). There's not really much to go off of here, but it's a nice drawing at the very least? Unfortunately there aren't any Among Us beans to be found, but given the banner, it might be safe to assume they're all dead.

If you haven't picked it up yet be sure to do so and come up with an outfit that screams I REALLY LOVE INDIE GAMES!!1!!1!! Our winter holiday is coming up and plans are forming to spend time roasting marshmallows in The Fungle. Before we go, let's look back on some highlights of 2023: Collabs We had a bunch of collabs with our friends at Bungie, Pusheen, and Paramount. And of course our friends Behemoth, Untitled Goose Game, A Hat in Time, Celeste, Undertale, and Crypt of the Necrodancer as part of the Indie Cosmicube. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33836086/349d602c697faca8cbe7e64a6d411839da4d18bb.png Are you being a task master in your favorite collab outfit? We can't spill the beans about next year but we're not ending our collaborations here so keep your visors peeled. 👀 Beans grow up so fast It wasn't all fancy new outfits this year (I do love a good fashion game though). Among Us grew in many new ways - like turning 5 years old and celebrating with a birthday stream! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33836086/d1684a8d87185b262c787a91137d05767dbc1346.png We also said farewell to the main menu which has been the gateway to many betrayals and clip-able moments for all of you. To replace it, we said hello to our brand new menu along with improvements to Quick Chat, reporting features, and continually squishing bugs. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33836086/abef13cd9b358b0e6ccd87af0b8c805e7a6ac73e.png Fungus Among Us This year wouldn't have been complete without the addition of our latest map - The Fungle!

We’ve got numerous surprises in our backpacks getting ready to share next year… which you can get a sneak peek of in our 2024 Roadmap!

Произошедший казус заставил организаторов церемонии усилить меры безопасности — и церемония The Game Awards 2023 произошла без подобных инцидентов.

Read more Vampire Survivors next bit of DLC is a highly-suspicious collab with Among UsDec 7, 2023 - VG247No matter which indie game you look at, Among Us seems to be everywhere, as the violent beans are now making their way to Vampire Survivors. It's no secret that Vampire Survivors was one of 2022's best games, and the last year has just seen improvement after improvement, like the new free story mode. Yesterday, during Day of the Devs' Game Awards stream, developer poncle announced its next bit of DLC, and it's a bit of a doozy: aptly titled Emergency Meeting, this next bit of paid content for the unique bullet hell game features the tiny, funny cast of Among Us. You'll have nine "totally trustworthy new characters" to choose from, which are basically just different coloured Among Us beans, and there'll be 15 new weapons too. You can check out the amazingly animated reveal trailer below! Each Among Us character has unique abilities, like Ghost Lino who can float through walls, and can't receive damage, though apparently can't deal damage either, and Guardian Pina, who boosts the defence of all nearby allies. Weapons wise, there's the Report! weapon which blasts enemies away with "supermassive sound waves," and you can "drop duplicitous foes to their doom with Just Vent."

Over the weekend, Among Us passed Destiny 2 and Grand Theft Auto V with a peak of 300k concurrent players to become the #8 most played game ever on Steam. Among Us' success has been mainly due to its low barrier of entry for players on all devices. The game is free on Apple's App Store and Google Play, while only $4.99 on Steam. And with crossplay, this allows users on Android, iOS, and PC to all play together online. Allowing up to 8 friends to play together has also also been one of biggest reasons for the game's success. Large groups of Twitch and YouTube's most popular streamers have been teaming up for super streams that have kept the game at the top of Twitch over the past couple weeks. With a peak of 443k viewers, Among Us also topped popular games like Destiny 2, Overwatch, and Grand Theft Auto V at #16 on the list of most watched games ever on Twitch. To put in comparison with a more recent easy-to-play party game, the summer's biggest surprise hit, Fall Guys, had more success on Twitch with a peak of 700k viewers; however, the game's higher $19.99 price tag on Steam (while being free on PlayStation Plus) only brought in a peak of 170k players, half the size of Among Us' peak on Saturday.
