Errr… it was February and boy if it didn’t go by in a flash. I hope it was a great month full of finished tasks and you were able to suss out those Impostors.

This month we have some sweet things to share for Among Us including some really cool new cosmetics, changes to our announcements, and various fixes. It’s all part of our new update, out now on all platforms – v2023.2.28! Please update your game to get all the changes.

Fun Stuff

• Our first collab of the year begins with the Guardian Cosmicube, available on our store for 3500 Beans! This cube is packed full of cosmetics so you can chase Impostors, pet your pets, and complete your tasks as your favorite light-wielding Guardians from our friends at Bungie. Be sure to get your Guardian Cube by May 30, 2023 before it disappears!

Patch Notes

• Our announcements have a brand new look to them! Not only will it have that new Skeld smell, but you’ll have the ability to see past announcements we’ve posted in case you want to see what happened in prior updates!

This is what our announcements used to look like:

While this has been working well – the team thought it could do with a little sprucing up. That’s where our UI expert Lucy comes in! Thanks to their efforts we now have a page that looks a little something like this:

Doesn’t this look great? I can’t reveal too many secrets, but this is just the first of our passes for updated UI for Among Us! We’ll have plenty more in store for some cool new looks.

And of course, we did some serious fixing in this patch to make sure your game runs smoother!

• ‘Freeplay’ is now called ‘Practice’
• New updated player report and pet petting icons
• Pets no longer give away an Engineer’s position when venting
• Guardian Angel can no longer protect Crewmates while comms are sabotaged
• Shapeshifters no longer get banned from match when attempting to shift into player who has left the match
• Shapeshifters are no longer considered Crewmate Ghosts in matches with 2 or more Impostors
• The first ejected Impostor now becomes a Ghost Impostor, rather than a Ghost Crewmate
  • Crewmates are able to win a match by completing tasks even after the first Impostor is ejected in a 2+ Impostor match
• Players are now unable to see players jumping out of vents and teleporting to the Cafeteria when Emergency Meeting is called
• Polus – The upper and lower horizontal doors for decontamination can now be opened
• Admin now shows location of dead bodies

That’s a whole lot of fixes and we’ll be squashing as many as possible as we keep updating and improving our other systems in Among Us. As a quick reminder – if you think you’ve found a bug feel free to report it to us at our Help Desk or email us at support@innersloth.com.

See you very soon,

Dors

I bet you didn’t think I’d just keep writing and writing and end up down in the Bug Zone too, did you? Well… Good news is that Krys is helping me doublecheck our list of known bugs for v2023.2.28! Thankfully, the list of bugs isn’t too long and we’re hoping to have these squashed ASAP:

• [Hide n Seek] Flashlight can’t be moved while pet animation is in progress while using a controller
• [Hide n Seek] Flashlight cone will reset its position if there is no player input after 8 seconds
• [Classic] Crewmates killed at the same time as venting will see the vent arrows persist while being a Ghost
• [All Modes] Player Ghosts can shoot out of the map when attempting to haunt and immediately opening the Settings menu
• Killing while petting your pet can cause the pet animation to keep playing
• Vent arrows stay on screen if killed while venting
• Players will see indefinite black screen if internet connection is lost while loading into an online game
• [Android] – Game can crash after opening on low end device

That’s all for bugs right now! We’ll keep you updated as we knock more out with our next updates.

See you next round,

Dors & Krys

Well hello there, Crewmates!It’s time for another round of community art! I’m always amazed at all the pieces I see you make and post – whether it’s on Twitter, Reddit, or our discord! The whole team loves seeing what you come up. Let’s take a gander at a few for this month:

Juangames from our discord has been taking our weekly creative prompts for Bean of the Week and making them as figures:

Darzin over on Reddit made a super cute Valentine’s box for their son to take to school:

Smooth_Chair on Reddit made this super rad Impostor! Looks like the neck and hand pain paid off on this one!

That’s all for this round of Community Art, y’all! Can’t wait to see what art you come up with next. Might I suggest some Savathûn and Osiris Impostor shenanigans? No matter what you do, just make sure you get to taking out those tasks one by one…

See ya later,

Dors

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.

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 

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! 

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 

 Quick post to let you know about the changes in the latest patch for version 2021.6.30.

 New additions: 

• Added vent cleaning task. Cleaning the vent will prevent any impostors from using that specific vent, but Impostors can still use other vents and the vent will be usable once it’s cleaned. If an Impostor is already camping out in a vent and then you start cleaning that vent, it’ll boot them out with a dramatic sound and you’ll see who it is. Surprise!
• New languages. Traditional and Simplified Chinese and Irish localization added. Thanks to Úna-Minh, Brian, Cormac, and Mike for the Irish translations. 

Bug fixes: 

• Getting stuck in place after a meeting is fixed. This was the biggest issue with the latest update, so run free now!! Be free beans!! 
• Scaling on “SHH” screen fixed. YES I read your comments on the SHH screen. The absolute hate that poor screen got, my goodness. I had to give it 3 tubs of ice cream to feel better. It’s okay though, the world is aligned once again, the proportions have been fixed after it got weirdly borked. 

• Geoff eyepatch is now (sadly) back to being a mask. :( 
• Clouds in the Airship no longer move in the wrong direction. No more backwards progress! Onward! 
• Upload Data phone colors fixed. I have no clever caption for this. 
• All major buttons are now localized. Yeah I’m really running out of fun ways to make this content interesting. 
• Android black screen fixed. This was fixed in a small hotfix already for Android in version 2021.6.16, but just in case you missed that update, it’s fixed now! 
• iOS startup crash fixed. This was also fixed in a small hotfix! 
• Other minor visual and localization bug fixes. Our programming and QA team did a really great job please give them a psychic high five.  

Ongoing bugs: 

• Wizard hat still missing. Still casting an invisibility spell. Working on finding it, sorry!
• 4:3 resolution still needs to be scaled. That’ll be addressed.  
• And quite a few others, but those are the biggest ones I’ll list out.

And if you’re a fan of grabbing physical editions of the game on console, pre-orders for it has just opened up!! (Release date for the game on Xbox and PlayStation has NOT been announced yet.) It comes with a ton of goodies with 3 different editions – Ejected, Crewmate, and Impostor! Check them out and pre-order here.

That’s it for now! Don’t forget the roadmap is the place to go if you’re interested in what we’re working on next, and check out our updated mod and fan creation policy if that’s something you were curious about. 

See you next time! 

Victoria
