Meridian - procedural skill trees for GameMaker (15% off)

Meridian draws constellation-style skill trees for GameMaker. The tree renders itself from your own skill data, so the art is finished-looking without opening a paint program.

60 hand-authored node motifs across 8 palettes give 480 distinct node marks, all drawn procedurally at runtime. There is no PNG atlas to maintain - change a skill and its mark changes with it.

  • Drop-in GML, raw and readable (nothing minified)
  • Data-driven: define the skills, the layout and the art follow
  • Suits talent trees, evolution trees, research trees and constellations

On sale 15% off, 14.99 down to 12.74 USD: https://csaf.itch.io/meridian-gamemaker

The skill tree looks really clean. I like how the different nodes are easy to read at a glance.

Thank you very much.  I intend to make a lot more like this because it seems well received.

Glad to hear that! Looking forward to seeing more like this.
