End of the Bean Year
Hiya Crewmates!
We hope you’ve been enjoying the Indie Cosmicube! 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.
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!
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.
Fungus Among Us
This year wouldn’t have been complete without the addition of our latest map – The Fungle! You’ve been ziplining, fishing, pumping iron, roasting marshmallows (and Crewmates) on the fifth Among Us map. What’s been your favorite part of The Fungle?
Among Us VR
Woah, woah! Don’t forget about us beans in the VR world!
Among Us VR has had a great year of highlights: the addition of Polus Point, sweet sweet LoFi jams, improvements to matchmaking and moderation, Fidget Features, and ALL 🎉 OF 🎉 THE 🎉 HATS. 🎉
But we aren’t stopping there. 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!
Big thank you to our players for making this year a great one of growth, learnings, and adorable bean death! Err… teamwork. Yeah, teamwork! 👀
Stay suspicious, beans!
Nap Time
It’s been a really fun year of tasks, bug squishing, collabing, and map releasing, but now it’s time for all of us at the studio to take a little winter holiday so we’ll be ready for more shenanigans in 2024!
Thanks for being the best Crewmates around for 2023 and we’ll see you next year.
Off to find some cocoa,
Dors
P.S. If you login to the game starting on December 26th, you’ll get this super snazzy and exclusive 2023 New Year’s Eve cosmetic! Consider it a treat for reading all my dev logs.
