This is the official game release version of Among Animatronics: Chapter 1.

The first release preview (RP) of V1 Stable was released on July 9th, 2024 and is effectively a Proof of Concept version of V1 Stable. This RP version does include tasks, but they aren't ready, so they have been disabled.

The second release preview (RP) of V1 Stable was released on July 12th, 2024 and is for testing of tasks. This RP version does include tasks, and you can do the tasks, but these are in preview, and are not fully designed and integrated into the game yet. So far, there are only 2 tasks, and you can find those in Stage and Security.

The third release preview (RP) of V1 Stable was released in July 16th, 2024 and is mostly just optimizations for Scratch specifically. This RP version does not include new tasks.

The fourth release preview (RP) of V1 Stable was released on July 23rd, 2024 and it adds 3 new tasks (Log Temperature in Repairs, Swipe Card in Kitchen and Upload in Parts & Services), bringing the total number of tasks to 5.

The fifth release preview (RP) of V1 Stable was released on July 30th, 2024 and adds a new Vision modifier for Custom Night to further increase the difficulty.

The sixth release preview (RP) of V1 Stable was released on December 21st, 2024 and includes the Settings rewrite that was started in the fifth release preview.

The eighth release preview of V1 Stable was released on July 8th, 2025, and is a stop-gap update. It contains very minor changes (mostly stability improvements) internally.

The ninth release preview of V1 Stable was released on July 25th, 2025. This update includes major bug fixes (including the Settings page) and debuts reworked algorithms and behaviours of animatronics, and includes a new jumpscare sound and new cutscenes. 

RP9.1 was released on August 8th, 2025, and is meant to resolve issues that were found but not fixed in RP9 Hotfix 1. 

The tenth version of V1 Stable was released on August 18th, 2025. RP10 includes 4 new & modern tasks, and finishes off task development that started in RP2. A UI redesign for older V1 tasks will be incorporated around the time of game release. This version also includes some assets for Achievements.

RP10.1 was released on August 25th, 2025. This version fixed all existing issues with previous versions of RPs.

The eleventh version of V1 Stable was released on August 28th, 2025. This version fixes all major existing issues with Among Animatronics: Chapter 1.

RC2, the game release version, was released on August 29th, 2025.

Things that won't come at launch

Multiplayer will not be available at launch. Multiplayer development is expected to start Winter 2025, with a Open Beta phase targeted for Summer 2026, and a full release either Summer 2026/Winter 2026/Summer 2027. Achievements development started in RP9, and is on track to be released as part of the Halloween Update in October 2025.

Credits

Among Animatronics is not an original game. It was derived from Among You. This game is a very 'heavy skin' above the Among You. With the original game having a file size of 4MB and the latest publicly released version having a file size that exceeds 130MBs, the UI differences, behavioral differences, just to name a few, it is very clear that this is a 'heavy skin'.  Among Animatronics, though, does have additional features and bug fixes. This game series will continue be parts of other games stitched into one big game.

While I made the characters, the template was originated from the aforementioned Among You. And with that, I would like to give AshtonL467 recognition. I can tell that the game itself was hard to make, from the characters, to the game script, and the maps. I could have never done all of that in a reasonable amount of time.

And also, I would also like to give credits to those who also helped AshtonL467 to make the original game assets. The base game and Among Animatronics 1 would not be possible without you.

TurboWarp & Scratch fixes

• IT'S ME 

• Updated mixing of jumpscare noises

• New jumpscare noises

• Slightly modified some characters' appearance

• Fixed an issue in which the white screen of death would be the incorrect size

• Jumpscares are now up to 0.6s shorter

• Rework has started on Animatronic logic.
  
  1. Higher Vent Out Chance
  Animatronic has a 50% chance of jumping out of a vent instead of the backwards linear approach (for some reason, there is currently a higher theoretical chance of it hopping out of a vent in night 1 compared to night 7). May change it to a forward linear approach instead of constant RNG.
  
  2. Higher Kill Potential
  There are more opportunities for animatronics to attempt a kill than for RP8. The chance of you getting killed is not necessarily higher, but the chances of the AI taking the chance to kill you is higher.
  
  3. Sabotage Chances are Higher
  Sabotage chances are now higher due to the other 2 reworks (because everytime a vent out is attempted and failed, there is a 50% chance of a sabotage, and while in a vent it's the same chance as previous versions).
  
  4. Movement Logic will be changed slightly
  Movements will now be concurrently observed by the GPS/EPS system to prevent winning by the fact that the AI gets stuck in the walls. This function is the "unstuck" system that was debuted back in V18. This function is still in beta.
  
  5. Enemy can move silently into, out of, & within vents
  When the animatronic is moving silently, the only indication of enemy activity will be vent movement. On-screen visuals (like the red, orange & yellow halo) will be completely disabled. The volume of audio cues & the proximity zones for those cues will be reduced by 50%. This function is still in beta and may act incorrectly.
  
  6.  Animatronic is active slightly earlier every night
  
  7. Animatronic cues are reduced every night

Every cue, like sound cues and visual cues will be reduced in onboarding distance (the distance you first hear/see the cue). Each cue will get shorter rollouts every night.

• Settings page has been reworked
  All previous issues should be resolved.

• Vent shaking has been reduced and smoothed

• Fixed an issue in which the pre-warning system before getting killed would inconsistently work

• Reverted previous behaviors regarding the info text at the bottom of the Main Menu

• Updated thumbnail
  
  

Scratch fixes

• Thumbnail sizing issues have been resolved

• Animatronics not appearing in the Main Menu
  - Issue has stopped occurring, but no code has been changed since RP9. This issue will continue to be on my watchlist until officially resolved.

• Erroneous rendering issues on Main Menu
  - Issue has stopped occurring, but no code has been changed since RP9. This issue will continue to be on my watchlist until officially resolved.

• Gameplay rendering issues

• Close button invoking the wrong action(s)

RP9 - Hotfix 1

• Fixed an oversight in which when other menu's were active, hidden elements would still react as if they were active

• Fixed an oversight in which DRA API values would be an erroneous value when operating on Scratch

RP9.1 fixes

• Fixed animatronic issues that was present in RP9

• Fully updated design of Animatronics

• Fixed an oversight in RP9 that prevents the next night from loading

• Updated positioning logic of Night info in top-right corner of gameplay

• Fixed incorrect & inconsistent positioning of Night info in top-right corner of gameplay

• Fixed an issue with Oni's jumpscare in which a 'Game Over' screen would not be triggered after the jumpscare

• Fixed an oversight with the newer thumbnail & DRA API

• Fixed an issue in which a variable that would determine if you die at a certain point would not run

• Changed internal rules to allow for Scratch testing in a TurboWarp environment

• Resolved an issue in which the Close button would be the incorrect size (Scratch-only fix)

• Fully integrated dynamic motion logic across the Main Menu elements to allow the game to speed up animations at lower frame rates (Scratch-targeted fix)

• Fixed an issue with the Andromeda UI RAPiD protocol

• Further changes to Animatronic logic
  
  1. Changed the way Sabotages are triggered
  Previously every night, sabotage's had a constant 18.85% chance of triggering due to an oversight of the RNG calculator. The system has now been changed to a forward linear approach like in RP9.

RP10 fixes

• Further changes to Animatronic logic
  
  1. The Animatronic can now stand silently and wait for you to approach before attacking
  Check for pulsating lights & weird noises to signify if an animatronic is nearby silently.
  
  Animatronic logic changes are postponed to focus on more important programming against the game release.
  
  

• Fully fixed thumbnail issue (Scratch-targeted fix)

• Corrected an oversight in the DRA API

• Backend work has started in Achievements

• Fixed a potential issue in which the "Use" button would be an incorrect size

• Tighted & optimized layering systems across all tasks

• Fixed an issue in which some tasks wouldn't automatically disengage when the player has died

• Fixed an issue in which the "Game Paused" infographic wouldn't appear in some select cases

• Fixed an issue in which when Jumpscare is disabled, and the jumpscare type is a specific value, the direct transition from the red screen to the static screen would fail

• Completed programming of Connection task

• Partially completed programming of Unlock Manifolds task
  - This task is ready to be previewed, but lacks the reset functionality when the wrong number is pressed. Besides that, this task is ready.
  
  

• Partially completed programming of Weather task
  - This task is ready to be previewed, but currently has a bug in which the progress bars would not appear until the last one. This appears to be a layering issue and a fix is planned for either an RP10 hotfix will debut in RP11

• Completed programming of Steering task

• Fixed a potential issue with the log Temperature task in which if the resolution was above a certain size, the arrows would both increase the numbers, making the task undoable

• Reprogrammed Log Temperature task to be more resilient

RP10.1 fixes

• Fixed a layering system oversight with the Colour & Character picker

• Fixed an issue with the rare cutscene

• Completed programming of Task Manager UI

• Closed off task loopholes

• Updated LOCATION_PLAYER_AMBIENT to the latest values

• Completed Programming of Unlock Manifolds task

• Completed programming of Stablize Navigation task

• Further changes & updates to Tasks
  
  1. Tasks will be rolled out each night
  Not all tasks will be active every Night until Night 5 and onward. You will start with at least 2 tasks on Night 1 and it will continue to increase until Night 5, where all tasks will be active.
  
  2. Weather task disabled
  Due to a layering issue that will take some more time to resolve, this task will be disabled to allow more time to focus on higher priority issues leading up to game release. Weather task should be back either shortly after game release or part of the Halloween Update.
  
  3. Task Manager
  To view your tasks, press Q (on Turbowarp) or M (on Scratch) to open the map. The red dots indicate where you have tasks. Those dots will disappear when you have completed the tasks.
  
  4. Game progression
  You cannot finish the night without finishing your tasks.

Scratch Fixes

• Fixed movement bugs

• Fixed Delta Timing issue & miscalculations

RC1 fixes

• Fixed all existing issues with the 'Use' button

• Fixed an issue with the unstuck script in which it would significantly slow down the game in certain conditions

• Reprogrammed Download/Upload Task to be more resilient

• Fixed all issues with Download/Upload Task

• Fixed an issue with the Task Checker in which it would incorrectly state if all tasks were completed

• Fixed a potential issue in which you couldn't progress into new nights

• Further changes to Animatronic logic
  
  1. Changed Vent Sound Logic
  Vent sound logic is changed now to reflect events that are going to happen. Clanking within a vent & shaking in a vent means that the Animatronic is that specific vent and is getting ready to jump out.
  
  A sudden change in vent sound indicates that the Animatronic has moved from one vent to another.
  
  3 bangs on the vent means that the Animatronic is about to jump out. This sound doesn't always play.
  
  2. Adjusted Vent Movement Logic
  In all versions prior to RC1, the animatronic would instantly teleport to the vent that is closest to you. In RC1 and onward, there will be a delay (depending on your night and/or difficulty setting) and a sound cue to when the animatronic has moved vents. The delay will start off at 9s on Night 1 and continually decrease each night until Night 5.
  
  3. Vent Bypass
  The Animatronic now has a chance of bypassing some warning signs of imminent vent exit. This has a constant 10% chance each Night.

RC2 fixes & changes

• Small changes compared to RC1

• Fixed an issue in which the 'Connection' task wouldn't work correctly at higher resolutions

• Updated GPS/EPS (Game Progress Saving & Exploit Prevention System) to the latest version

• Updated UES

• PERFORMANCE module (used for Real-time Adjustment of Perception in Display; RAPiD protocol) now supports frame rates as low as 7 and as high as 240

• Added Low Power Mode, which can postpone, reduces frequency or completely stop game frame rate optimizations (AndromedaUX Game PERFORMANCE module), excessive animations (instead of calculating the animation twice, it will only do it once), optional background tasks (ex. the dots in the background of the Main Menu) and more to maintain a steady framerate.
  
  NOTICE: This may not ship with the game immediately at launch, but may come a little after (maybe 1-5 days after). This is not recommended to be turned on manually, because the game will be able to know if it's needed. It will be a TurboWarp exclusive, but it may come to Scratch later on.

RP1 changes

• If you are setting a custom resolution in TurboWarp, we recommend using a [x]:3, 1:1 or 16:9 aspect ratio. The game does support all resolutions, but an odd resolution like 720x1080 may not be handled properly. Here are some resolutions that the game will handle well:
  
  480x360 (default)
  480x600 (5:3)
  600x600 (1:1)
  700x360 (35:18)
  
  

• Resolutions below 480x360 or have a very wide horizontal resolution and short vertical resolution will result in unexpected behavior. These kind of issues can be resolved, but are not the top priority with this kind of resolution adaptation technique. It's meant more for people to be able to play games at their monitors resolution, which is most likely 16:9, 4:3 or a fairly common/usable resolution, not an odd resolution like I mentioned before.
  
  Feedback is greatly appreciated with this; as far as I know, no other game has this kind of adaptation (I know some games support higher resolutions than 480x360, but most of those are preset, instead of the way this works by just using whatever resolution you throw at it).
  
  Again, this is a highly experimental option that is really meant for UI elements that are able to dynamically adjust in real-time with little to no effect on the application (like the Main Menu for example). If you are in the middle of a game, most of the values are preset, and changing them at a moment's notice is quite difficult to code in, especially in a programming language like Scratch.
  
  

• We recommend setting your custom resolution BEFORE you start the game; the game can resize mid-game, but you may go off the entire map when doing so.
