About Onset

Onset is a scripting sandbox game made from the ground up for multiplayer. Create and host your very own experience in Onset using Lua scripting functions. Or just enjoy the different game modes created by other players.

Key features:
  • Over 400 Lua functions to customize the world.
  • Spawn cars, helicopters, NPCs, objects and more with Lua functions.
  • Load custom maps.
  • Singleplayer (localhost) and multiplayer.
  • 300 player dedicated multiplayer servers. You can host your own server with your scripts.
  • Import characters, animations, props, sounds, particles and more.
  • Various types of vehicles with damage model.
  • Weapon modding including configuration like damage.
  • UI customization with HTML/CSS/JS.
  • High quality in-game VoIP solution.

What can I do in Onset?
By default the map in Onset is completely empty. The Onset Developer Wiki holds a list of all Lua functions including descriptions on how to use them. With those functions you can write your own game mode scripts that either run on the server or game client. This way you have endless possibilities to realize your idea in Onset.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players agree that Onset has solid mechanics and useful modding tools like Lua scripting and a map editor, but the game suffers from a severe lack of active players and appears abandoned by its developers. The game functions more as a framework for community-created game modes rather than a complete product, so its value entirely depends on whether potential players are interested in building their own experiences within it.

Its wierd, Its the RPG game with good/working mechanics that everybody has been awaiting for with even custom LUA and map editor, but no body is playing it, even the negative reviews are just complaining the lack of players. I dont understand if they just had terrible marketing campaign or they just never tried to gather community.

biggest scam i've ever seen

abandonned game sadly dev didn't care

its basically fiveM/SAMP. you can have different game modes, like RP servers, deathmatch, etc. I think the idea is great but this isnt really a game its just a framework. when you buy this you're basically buying all of the assets the dev gave, as well as whatever other players happen to have done with those assets. I don't specifically dislike the game at all, and I wish there was a "meh" option. I will say i dont recommend it, at least i wouldnt recommend it to myself. If it sounds up your alley though it will probably be a 1000 hour game for you.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
