What is a Skill Tree?
How Can Teams Collaborate on an Online Skill Tree in Creately?
Use the following tips to collaborate around Creately’s skill tree tool.
Firstly, select a suitable cloud-based platform. A cloud-based platform like Creately allows team members to work on a shared platform regardless of the location. It makes real-time collaboration much easier and of course efficient.
Maintain a regular flow of communication with team members. Use Creately’s integrations with Microsoft Teams, Google, Slack and much more to hold regular meetings, maintain workflows, discuss progress, share ideas and address bottlenecks and issues as and when they arise.
Discuss with the team and establish a shared vision. The team should agree as to what the purpose and goals of the skill tree are. Doing so will ensure that everyone is on the same page, working towards the same objectives.
Divide the responsibilities and tasks among team members. Figure out the different activities and tasks required to create the skill tree. For example, this may include designing the layout, defining skills, setting requirements and developing the skill tree. Assign each team member, depending on their talent and skill set, responsibilities via Creately’s task panel and project management capabilities to keep track of the progress.
Assign roles and permissions to the workspace. Decide who will have edit and view only access based on their level of involvement and responsibility.
Once the skill tree is completed, test and iterate. Get some feedback regarding the skill tree by testing it. Based on the feedback make the necessary changes to improve.
How to Use Creately’s Skill Tree Maker with Your Team?
Open a Skill Tree Template
Launch Creately’s skill tree builder and select a skill tree template from the library. Use the Notes Panel, sticky notes, or highlights to capture gameplay mechanics, goals, abilities, and unlockable upgrades before building the skill tree.
Add Skill Details and Assign Roles
Break down player abilities and progression milestones, then assign roles for research, skill tree layout, and review. Use the Task Panel to track responsibilities and store relevant design documents, links, and assets directly in the workspace.
Customize and Visualize
Create the skill tree from scratch or modify the chosen template to show characters, levels, and locked abilities. Apply styling, colors, and themes to match your game’s design and ensure clarity in progression.
Share with Design Team
Invite your design team to edit the skill tree in real time, leave comments, and iterate on gameplay balance and progression. Share the chart via secure links, embed it in documents, or export it as a PDF, image, or SVG for review.
Review, Update & Share
Incorporate playtest feedback and refine the tree for ability balance and usability. Update the skill tree template as new insights emerge, and continue sharing the final skill tree with stakeholders or developers for implementation.
