Onset Steam Release

Release Information

Onset is now available on Steam!

The Early Access phase and your support will give me the chance to turn this personal project
into something bigger. So, thank you to everyone who supports Onset!

Early Access

Please keep in mind that Onset is launching in Early Access. Meaning that especially at the beginning you will notice some bugs which will be fixed during the Early Access.
Some bugs or errors may also arise from the game mode of a particular server you are playing on.

Modding Update

I have good news for those who want to import custom 3D models in Onset. A new tool will help
you to simplify the process of importing your models.
