This Among Us documentary details the development of the indie video game Among Us and goes behind the scenes of its creation. Discover how the members of the small indie studio InnerSloth all met each other in college and started working on Among Us in 2017, after a previous project failed. Originally, the game was only playable on mobile and didn’t support online multiplayer. After the Steam release months later, the team was thinking about giving up on the game entirely.
The documentary also explores how Among Us became a massive success for the small indie studio and what kind of impact it had on the game itself and the developers. It also details all the design decisions that InnerSloth made throughout development. Lastly, the documentary also takes a look at what’s next for Among Us.

Just takes a few streamer personalities to find the game and latch onto it. I cringe at xQc being mentioned (toxic guy that he is), but others include DisguisedToast, CORPSE, I know a lot of people are in love with Sykkuno, there's 5up.... and my favorite, Hafu. These are people that have thousands and thousands of subscribers, and one day, KZfaq recommended one of Hafu's videos (the one where she makes TinaKitten cry!) and I was like ".. what's this?" and I was instantly hooked and now I try to catch Hafu's daily video highlights. It's brought me a lot of laughs and funtimes. I even bought the game myself, even though I've not actually played it yet, I'm hoping to start once my new bedroom is done RL.

A lot of people forget the reason why Among Us became popular with non-gamers is the pandemic. This was a game that became popular at the peak of the lockdown, allowing friends to play and have fun or just hang out socially. I have fond memories of playing it every night and it brought us together even though everyone else was stuck in their homes.

Lots of people love the game, but searching 20 mins for a lobby isn't worth it. They just needed that free advertising. I wasn't playing it last year because I didn't know it existed. I'd still be playing Soldat if anyone else was. FNC is about to go the same way.

I sometimes fell bad because if i had started a youtube channel in those days then yk... BTW currently i have played more than 2000+ matches with 72.7% imposter win rate ( I never cheated )

From start to finish, this was an exceptionally made video. The running background, rolling text next to the speaker's picture, and the overall timeline were so well put together. The accompanying music was perfect in that I never really noticed it, but I was definitely more interested in the video because of it

Good suggestions! I love Binding of Isaac so it’s been on my list for a while.

I remember playing this game like 1 year ago with my friend. There were like hardly any lobbies available. Although I would be telling a big lie if I said I preferred 2020 among us compared to 2019 among us. 2019 among us was a lot more fun since most of the players then actually were smart and not just a bunch of 2 year old kids.

Well, most of the problems that occurred when the game blows up was because of server issues. Players were barely able to even log into the game. So it becomes an issue of server size and optimization, and it isn’t really a problem that can be solved by just having more guys working on it (they needed creative solutions, rather than more “hands typing code”, so to say). You don’t really need a big team for a game like this, tbh.

i played the game often back in 2018-2019. there was a community yet it was large enough that it was rare to meet people from different matches you met earlier. the maps also costed money on mobile including ads. another thing was that more colors were added a few weeks to a few months after i started playing, then came free hats, i miss the game being small and probably would've kept playing if the outburst of new players didnt happen or wasnt as big

As someone who has a side business with a friend, I can attest to the pains of being a cofounder of any company, especially a tech startup. It's a shit ton of work! And when you don't have a lot of experience already, the grand majority of the time, you will spend learning and failing. You will have to stay hours upon hours staring into a computer screen without seeing you friends for weeks until you can make a living out of what you are doing. Development will be slow because everyone in your team has other jobs, other goals, and other shit going on in their life and you can't depend on any one person. It will also be slow because you could run into a myriad of issues if you don't know what you are doing or are frustrated or depressed for whatever reason. For example, today i lost a small portion of a project I was doing because I was trying to split the GitHub repository of another project i am working on. You will also not have the budget to offer an amazing experience to the client which as the video states, is the reason innersloth had shitty servers. The reason why i made this comment, is because every company starts off not making any money for at least the first year. Innersloth is no exception. I guess their biggest mistake is not taking into account the scalibility of Among Us.

I was so happy when this game got the popularity it deserved.
