Skill Tree In Unity (Tutorial) -- Part I: The User Interface

Skill trees are awesome... but they can get a little complicated to implement. This video series tries to provide a powerful, adaptable skill tree, while keeping the code as intuitive and clean as possible. This system should scale well for large games, but I try to explain things enough that even relative beginners can figure it out. In this first video, we will set up the UI for our skill tree, using Canvas Groups, 9-Slicing, and Grid Layout Groups as some of our key tools. Feel free to enjoy this video on its own, or as part of a beginner-friendly series where we create an Action RPG in the style of Zelda: A Link to the Past. RELEASE SCHEDULE I'm planning to release a new video each Monday (Next: Oct. 14) until the series is complete. If you'd like to help out a little studio to speed up this process, feel free to give me a Super Thanks, check out my patreon account, like this video, or leave me a comment.
