The package contains the free Metaviz diagram tool, which you open locally as a normal html file in the browser.
NOTE: only Chrome, Opera and Edge are supported at the moment as Metaviz require the use of Native Filesystem API.
You can write your thoughts on a board, design a scenario, or (I especially encourage you to) create in JavaScript your own nodes that will serve as a visual script for your game. This greatly improves the team's workflow.
As an example of custom nodes, a demo of a romantic visual novel is included in the package with nodes for creating a dialog tree.
The diagram data is stored in a file in a version control (e.g. git) friendly format, so you put the xml file in your repository along with the project.
When the game is launched - the xml file is read from Resources by the attached C# Unity plugin.
