First things first, I know that accounts (and a friend system) are coming to Among Us soon, along with a report system. I also know there is a Discord server at it is a great tool in finding games and friends.
But I still think we could use something more flexible and powerful.
The project I have in mind would include:
- Create an account (it would of course be possible to use social logins)
- Create games and impose requirements for players to join (account age, minimum player rating, etc.).
- Search for games with criteria (map, no. of imposters, some settings, chat language, etc.)
- Join games if you match the requirements and get the lobby code.
- Access a pre-game chat where you wait for the (next) game to start. Chatting during the game should not be done here (offenders can be warned or reported)
- After some time playing in a game you gain the ability to rate the game (fun factor, quality of settings, etc.), host (host is active, helps players, moderates the game, etc.) and players (good/bad behavior, etc.).
- Add players to your friends list (requires approval by the player)
- Report player offenses like cheating/hacking/toxic behavior. There will be algorithms in place to (ideally) detect fake reports, and a moderator team to review them.
- Report games that are no longer valid or have the wrong criteria.
- Find players you’ve friended and see in which game they are currently playing.
Of course, this would be all available on a mobile-friendly website.
As for funding I’d like to allow users to upgrade their account to premium which would unlock advanced features (joining premium-only games, notifications when friends are hosting/playing, ability to respond to reports, etc.) at a price around 10$/year.
If there was such website, would you use it ? If it did make your Among Us experience better, would you support it (donate / purchase premium) ?
If I forgot anything, or if you have suggestions, I’ll be more than happy to discuss it right here or by PM if you prefer.
Thanks !
