Top 2 Most Challenging Parts of Among Us 1.

- VOICE CHAT

- COLORS/NUMBERS

-------------

VOICE CHAT -- we need this desperately.  also, voice-only rooms.  even if you can't afford voice servers, give a line to join a discord URL after the players have confirmed..  Voice-only rooms disables chat function so you're not getting spammed with gamethrowing, and permits players to ban Discord accounts on user-side.

COLORS/NUMBERS -- People still don't understand lime or teal.  Please be creative.  Get a plaid character, a rainbow character, triangles.   Hell, an option to include a number would be ideal on their bodies.  If you go up to 20 characters, it's better to focus on a huge number on their chest and let people purchase colors.

I think the solution to the voice chat requires more effort than the devices the game runs on presently permit. Like a PC or Mac version can route and split audio, thus a PC/Mac version can "route" the audio from Discord and mute discord appropriately, or create a virtual microphone inside the game, so the user can pipe the audio through the game and have the game mute the microphone channel to discord while leaving recording/streaming audio up. 

Though I could see maybe a plugin to Discord that could mute the mic.

The colors/numbers bit is a different issue and falls into the "this isn't colorblind safe" problem. It would need to be fixed by using colorblind-safe palettes, and if someone is in colorblind mode, it removes those colors from being options.
