“We had already considered the game done and had moved onto something else. And while it may seem odd, things took a few months, it’s quite normal in game development, especially for a team of our size,” the Among Us developers said.

“When you work in an official capacity and need to handle various business needs, there are more legal considerations that need to be put into it versus if it were just a side project or mod!” they added.

With the game being cross-platform, it made it more difficult for the small team of five members to manage everything while also working on the update. “Because our game is cross-platform, it means EVERYTHING needs to work on as many devices as possible. (Every kind of smartphone and its various versions, console, etc.) You may have noticed most modifications to the game focus on just PC, as that makes development much easier,” the developers said.
