Hello, RWBY Wiki community! This is my first post ever on any Wiki site, so please bear with me.

As my name suggests, I'm a legitimate coder (or at least a coder-in-practice). I've recently gotten hooked to RWBY, and I thought, "Why not make a fan game?" And since a fan game is created by the fans, I decided to reach out to the RWBY community here on the wiki for some ideas. This is so I can start designing the game in my head and seeing if this will work out. In other words, I need some inspiration. First of all, here are some things you should consider when suggesting an idea:

-Don't be too vague. Yes, give a genre of video game, but don't just say, "Make a platformer."

-Don't be way too specific. Details are awesome, but don't define too many things from the start. Leave some room for my (and other people's) imagination to wander.

-Keep in mind that this is a fan game. It's not only for you to play, but also for all RWBY fans. For example, suggesting something like a hardcore bullet hell wouldn't go very well. Just because you can play Touhou on Lunatic and dodge the rain doesn't mean that other people can.

-Only 2D games. This is purely due to technical reasons. Personally, I can't do much in 3D, and the whole game would take MUUUUCCCCHHHHH longer to develop. Modeling takes much longer time versus spriting.

-Be unique. I hate making games that just add to a genre. Every game, even a fan game, should have certain special elements to them that set them apart from everything else.

-Nothing over the top. For example, no MMOs. I don't have the assets, capabilities, or skills currently to create something that big.

Start brainstorming! I need as many ideas as possible right now. If I think that this whole game will work out and will fit within my schedule, then I shall make an official post announcing the game's development and other specifics. If and when this does become an actual project, rest assured that a huge part of it will be in the hands of you, the fans. So if you want a fan game for RWBY, please suggest your ideas and show your support below! Alternatively, you can tell me your ideas over Twitter @LegitimateCoder using #rwbygameideas.

BOOP!
