Computer Game Design Techniques - Skills a game designer needs to possess.

Following the categorising of computer game development processes, my group and I were posed with the question "What is the most important skill for a game designed to possess", and asked to make a list of skills we thought were necessary for a games designer.

Between each group, we discussed the skills we thought were most beneficial and necessary for a games designer to have. We figured Communication, Management and Creativity were three of the most pivotal skills to have.
Upon comparing our lists with a list given to us for reference, the list became much more vast containing roughly 18 skills.

The skills involved are on a much wider spectrum than any group had really thought, and included business skills, creative writing skills, economics skills, public speaking skills and mathematics skills.

I have learned through this process that there are many more elements in which I could better myself, and may indeed need to better myself to become a successful game designer. These will be goals and aims for the future, specifically working on public speaking skills, and other development skills such as Music, sound effects and Psychology.
