"AMONG US" 'friend list' is being developed steadily. Friend application and blocks can be made possible

Developer InnerSloth posted the progress of development status in " AMONG US " on March 2. It is revealed about the friendlist function to be implemented in the future and other trends.

Innersloth announces a 2022 roadmap of "AMONG US" on January 17 (Related Articles). Currently, we are developing in the schedule and are also promoting the implementation of the friendlist as the top priority. In the same function, you can issue your own friend code for each player. The players who played together will be able to send and receive friends for friends. After becoming a friend, the functions such as inviting the other party to your own lobby or checking the friends who have recently played together. Also, it is possible to block inappropriate users.

As a note, when delivering an update that implements a friendlist, it is temporarily stopping the link function of the account. "AMONG US" allows you to link accounts for PC / Mobile / Console. If you have not linked yet, it would be better to have done it before the next update comes. You can link your account from your own account screen. It is a full account if the screen account tab is highlighted in a green frame.

At the time of the last notice, it was previously asked to make a measure of quality improvement as well as the friendlist function. As a development team, we want to improve the various aspects of the game flow, and I want to improve Cosmicube, chat, and other UX. However, as a task that can be implemented with the next update, it was confessed that it had been estimated slightly. Considering the amount of work to successfully function the friendlist on all platforms, it is judged that it would be better to concentrate on one thing now, so updates for improving QOL seem to be off after the next time.

As a result of future plans, after implementing a friendlist, it will be rested once. Instead, it seems to continue updating focusing on bug fixes. As a studio, I feel that it is an honest feeling that I would like to have a good idea to fix more than a thing that it would be better to add the content that the user is looking forward to. Since more programmers have been employed recently, bug fixes are expected to be faster than before. And, as a further development, it was suggested that the possibility of "hollow and brown" implementation that was previously announced.

"AMONG US" is currently distributed for PC (Steam / EPIC Games Store / Humble Bundle / Microsoft Store) / PlayStation 4 / PlayStation 5 / Xbox One / Nintendo Switch / iOS / Android. It is also provided to Xbox Game Pass. The official blog can be confirmed here.
