Ehrlia is an original total conversion mod for Rage.
Genre-wise, Ehrlia is a mix of genres, but is heavily focused on story and visuals, and little on ui and mechanics, with levels that mix campaign shooter, single player deathmatch, driving, jumping and adventure. To explain, Ehrlia is a small open world island probably around the size of the original Lego Island, with small cities, factories, subways, or wilderness levels that require you to dialogue with npcs and do simple quests, shoot single enemies or fight armies, jump and adventure to get through them, with interspersed single player deathmatch and driving.
Setting-wise, Ehrlia is set on a post-apocalyptic island where a small dictatorship or democracy, depending on your perspective has rebuilt after nuclear winter. It is inhabited by a a small amount of people, that inhabit the ruins of what looks like 1980s industrial cities in the Pacific Northwest, both modern, Victorian, or soviet, which are both decayed and slightly rebuilt.
Story-wise, As the monarch's son, your story generally involves romance, and coming of age, both satisfied and bored by your surroundings, you are looking for adventure, while being haunted by trauma and growing up in the ruins of civilization. While I can't spoil important story events, at a certain point in the game, small groups of outside armies and hostile forces start invading the city, which sets of a string of events into course forcing the entire re-thinking of the protagonist's existence.

Wow! Didn't know there were even any dev-tools available for this game! Stoked to see what you can deliver!
Wow, cool!
First look are promised. I am curious. Keep up the work ;)
As much as I have the feeling this will never release - Too ambitious, I hope you succeed in at least making something out of the Mod Kit, because this is someone no one has used thus far (although for good reason)
Thanks :)
