My project needs improvement in the story elements. It is creative enough but the story is lacking. If we add more story elements then we are sure to get a much better grade than before. The creative elements are important but story is key.

I agree with you 100%. We do need to improve the story elements. Our creativity is good I like our idea. I we do add some more story elements it will make it better. And the better that w get it the better our grade will be.

One thing our project needs to fix is the rules. We have little to no rules so it's something that we need to change. And our game will be above average because it's not going to be ordinary. It will have a touch of classic games with a touch of things that have never been used to board gaming.

I believe my groups game needs more vocabulary from Beowulf. How I am going to make my above standard project will be hard. I want my game to look 3D and I want people to have to think. There will be 4 character pieces that any one can be. I will do the best that I can when I do my board game.

The one that we need as in my group for the most improvement is to innovate game medium that is highly appealing. That's probably the most we will struggle with bust because you can't make an awesome educational game. It's very tough. For the gaming box we will probably do a case and cover. When we do that it'll illustrate like how it comes in a case and you get from Walmart. When you do that we'll add a manual and all that to make it look good. When doing this it'll look very professional.

The part that our project needs to be improve in is "Presentation". Our project needs to be more creative in its characters and back ground. What we are going to do is create a very accurate scenery using our mind on how the story describes the scene. Also when we act in our videos we are going to use creative costumes. Also our voices are gonna be projected and used in like a old time accent

I think the part we need to adress the most in our project is I think the presentation of it. We need to work on the quality because we didn't use costumes which we will add. To make this an above standard gaming package we will have two controllers, the gaming system, a disc, a box and instructions.

For our gaming package, we plan to make a board game. For the board game, we need to have directions, a board with the game on it, game pieces, and the questions you have to answer to move on to the other spaces.

The part we need to go back and really address is the organization part. We have all the other parts pretty strong, but we need to make it more organized to make it to it's full potential. The organization is a important part that we need to fix as soon as possible to make our game the way we see it in our heads.

I think that my group needs to improve in showing mastery of epic poetry convections. We need to put more thought into the questions we ask for our cards. It needs to be a little more difficult to answer. We are using a gaming board to make our "gaming packages." We are having a box to put the board in. We are having real game pieces related to Beowulf.

Anglo-Saxon Culture; Epic Characteristics Is very addressable towards "our" game. It's not lacking terribly so far, I just find it needs more 'feel' Costumes, How the characters speak, and some visuals. To attempt the above gaming package I will try to produce something interesting, that will all be (somewhat) nice to play. IE: sense our game Is a video / RPG It will have a lot of choices. { player determines how the game will play out.

Also for the game packaging we are going to get game pieces to include on our beowulf game board. We are gonna make it above and beyond by adding more that expected to our project and working hard on this.

The thing our project needs most improvement on is the rules, since we have little to none. Things that will be included I our game cage would be a set of directions, the character pieces (Beowulf, Grendel, troll wife, hrothgar, etc.) that will resemble that characters. There will be answers you have to answer to be able to advance and make it to the end, and each question will be related to Beowulf. the game itself will have a touch of every board game plus a complete unique touch itself.

I think there are probably are a few areas my group needs to improve in. I think though the main area we probably need to improve in is in the Content area. Specifically content about epic characteristics and the anglo saxon culture. We are making a board game so for our group to make an above standard gaming package is. We are including a hand made board, characters to repersent the characters from Beowulf, a set of instructions, then lastly we will find some kind of box to complete our gaming package.

I think that the area in my project that needs improvment is almost everything. I dont think that we have any characters in our project yet. But we do have alot of buildings built and alot of trees and stuff like that. I dont think that it really captures that audiences attention like it should, but hopefully it will when we are completely finished with it. And we dont have any game rules yet and we havent completely made the minecraft into a game yet. I think that we will have a very creative game package because we have people in our group that are very creative. So over all I think that we will have a pretty great game in the end.

We need improvement in using correct vocabulary in our game, because it's hard to write words in minecraft so it will take us a little while to complete the vocab. What we will do to complete this is take a flat part of land in the game and build blocks above the flat part of the land to spell letter to make vocabulary.
