What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We would like to include your ideas and feedback in the development of the game. Especially expanding the Lua modding possibilities. But also adding new vehicle and player models.
Onset at it's current stage is playable but needs much more refinements. We will use the time to improve the mechanics of the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate it to be at least two years in Early Access. This will be enough time for us adding new content.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“After Early Access the game will be much more polished and feature rich.
Including:

Additional modding possibilities with Lua.
New driving physics and weapon handling mechanics.
More enter-able interiors and a bigger map size.
More vehicle and player models.

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Please see the About This section for a list of Onset's features.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The pricing of the game might increase slightly at the end of Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Since Onset is a Lua sandbox, the scripters can directly tell us what new functions and models they would like to see. We do have various channels where players can reach us with their feedback.”
