Communication skill- During designing the game, I need to develop the team and work
together as I need some different people who is having different skills. Thus, I have
communicated every aspect with my team and also listen their innovative ideas for additional
features in the game. Thus, by this way I have developed my communication skills.
Team working skill- I am working with my team for designing the game and for this I
have communicated with the team mates and appreciate their new ideas and coordinate with

them. Roles and responsibility wile accessing the game is different from the roles while working
individually.
Innovative skill- It is the significant skill for individual and I have learned this skills
while designing the game by having new features in my game. Here, I have analysed the interest
of the students while preparing project. Then I have applied my findings in my game by making
it more attractive and interesting.
