The most Important Skill for a game designer is Listening. Listening is a huge part of being a Games Designer, it applies to yourself and the client.

- Listen to the Client: The Client is the one that will be paying you and if you don't give them what they want, they will find someone's else who can do the job. So always listen to the Client and give them what they want even if it a ridiculous idea.

- Listen to Yourself: If you can listen to Yourself it can become the most powerful tool in Games Design, it is the secrets behind your tremendous creativity.
