Nameless Mecha Game Ideas

Warning: there may be grammatical errors.
However, no furs have read these before. Read and respond at your own risk.

Yeah, I might not be a designer yet, but I am working at it. I plan to keep up with these ideas, absolutely. If anyfur wants to pitch in, please have at it, but I do want to keep it mostly my own...
Step 0: Game name.
Still no clue on this one.
Step 1: Naming system.
I got some things set up in part of a story I wrote (literally) down... First off, the mechs themselves will be designated "Enhanced War Tanks" or EWTs for short. Their pilots, whom I want to make furs, will be called LanceHawks.
Step 2: Characters.
This is also put out in small details. I have a few characters set up.
Archer Dewclaw
This is an albino folf, whom witnessed the destruction of his home planet, Arconia. He vowed to receive retribution on those whom destroyed it. His EWT is long-range, and uses a hexapedal leg base to reduce recoil from its two high-power sniper cannons, attached to the shoulders of his "mech". In place of the lower arms is a pair of high-powered gauss rifles, used to take out closer-ranged targets if need be. The EWT's callsign is Longbow, and it has a white-and-blue crossbow, emblazoned upon the lower right section of the torso part. Its coloration is mainly black, with golden highlights on the raised sections of its armor. This fur is accepting of fate and turns of events. He is willing to make friends, despite the rough life of being a LanceHawk.
Anthony Featherpaw
Since he was originally designed FOR this universe, he takes a role in the game. This fella is part of the Birna colony on Mars, and is a darkfox. He specializes in close-range, with a diamond-shaped shield mounted atop his EWT's left arm, and a retractible plasma sword mounted on the right. This has earned the machine the name, "MidKinght", alongside the deeper blue and purple color scheme. He also equips dual laser chainguns on the back, in order to help him damage targets as he closes in on them. In order to increase its velocity even more, the EWT is light, working a very quick bipedal form. Emblazoned upon its shield is the shape of a knightly figure holding a broadsword in one hand, a shield in the other. Anthony is a skeptic, and believes that he is the best. However, he is merely insecure about life in general.
Talon Gryphonpaw
Talon was born in the far reaches of the galaxy, on the planet Kryth. Having joined the military to help in any way possible, this dark-hued gryphon has received genetic modifications to help him stand upright and operate his EWT, Rhintu, named for his native equivalent to "balance". This is a soldier-type EWT, with a pair of inverted legs, a missile system, a plain assault rifle, a small laser cannon, and a plasma blade. Upon the EWT's back is a jetpack, which increases vertical mobility, and allows the Talon to find higher ground before picking off enemies from their weak spots. The gryphon is a very key asset to the team, and very friendly, much to Anthony's chagrin. This gets him int a lot of trouble with the fox often, and finds himself out of operations quickly, tied to his bunk.
Step 3: Storyline.
The player is a new recruit, whom actually became part of the team because he out-performed others when his EWT was heavily damaged. He is the youngest of his squadron, but is possibly the most proficient at his work. [Need to work on that, I know.]
Step 4: Allow other furs to help out.
This is where you guys come in. Please tell me anything you want to have in the game. ^w^ I'm not a snob that wants to make everything completely his own. I want to cater to the fanbase. Please note: my first-ever mech video game was Armored Core 2: Another Age. I learned of the customization features that went into the main campaign, along with the changes to gameplay because of it. This inspired me to make something... along those lines. That is why I want to be a video game designer so bad.
