Unreal Practise - Skill Tree Setup

A continuation/restart of my previosu Darksiders proof of concept, this time focusing on recreating/updating skill trees for all four characters. Lot of ups and downs, lot of tweaking UI and a lot of making Data Assets (212 across all four characters).

There is still a lot of revision and features to add/update with this project, but thought I'd post this to show where it currently sits.

Skill Tree Practise - Version 02 First attempt at setting up a Skill Tree which more accurately recreates the design/features of Darksiders 2. Unfortunately, all progress on this version was lost, forcing me to restart from scratch.

Version 03 - Character Setup Some of the systems to allow for switching between characters. These are to be revised after practising/researching more defined multiplayer systems.

Planning for Skill Tree Design Following the base setup from Darksiders 2, but including additional Wrath Skills and a central "Talent" Tree of passive abiltiies - in addition to the standard "melee" and "magic" trees on the left and right respectively.
