A recent Among Us bug ensures you\u2019ll never go alone in the social deduction game, but it turns out that\u2019s actually a pretty bad thing, at least when it\u2019s not a feature the developer intended. Gary Porter, a programmer with Among Us maker Innersloth, took some videos of the glitch, where a rabble of very tiny crewmates just appears and, rather distressingly, just keeps evolving and swarming around the real bean. It\u2019s all rather spider-like, though crewmates won\u2019t be giving birth via egg sacs just yet.<\/p>\n

Porter didn\u2019t say where the bug came from, but as you\u2019d expect, it creates havoc with Unity. The video he posted suffered from extensive lag every second or so, and he said the congregation of crewmates caused Unreal to vomit dozens of errors every second, hence the lag.<\/p>\n

What Innersloth understandably sees as errors, fans hoped could be incorporated in the game somehow.<\/p>\n

You dont understand how much i would pay to have this pet\u00a0mob of baby beans,\u201d one commenter said. \u201cLet me make them all different colors too, as if I\u2019ve stolen them from various people I\u2019ve killed as imposter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Which is a bit macabre, but certainly in keeping with how most Among Us games usually pan out. Innersloth\u2019s community manager playfully reminded them that so many mini-beans would naturally make them much easier to follow \u2013 definitely not the kind of feature you want, even with Among Us\u2019 handy class abilities.<\/p>\n

Ease of tracking aside, there\u2019s an undeniable appeal to walking into a small bean and watching it bounce off the wall like a pool ball.<\/p>\n

Maybe \u201clob the bean into the hole\u201d could be a new task someday, but in the absence of new updates and Among Us 2, some Among Us modders are taking\u00a0the game into their own hands and transforming it into a town building simulator.<\/p>\n
