I wish there’d be a proper family tree generator, I’ve been searching for one for so long. All the things existing now seem to be old and made to create actual existing family trees with lots of limitations, but I’d really need a tool to use for world building and that kind of stuff. To allow you create profiles with a lot of data for the characters in the tree, so you could view the info in some easy way, maybe by clicking to open an info window, or something like that. To be able to easily link them to each other with other things than just family relations (like friends, lovers, enemies…). Being able to properly put a picture on the profiles so it would show there in the tree, not just a name. Just being able to properly view the whole family tree at once by zooming in and out would be so nice, and to link it with other family trees etc…
There are games that have some family tree functions, but I don’t need nor want a gaming experience. I want to do these things freely, not with having to play some shit to be able to unlock something, or to have family trees generated around just played characters. I’ve tried using mind map generating stuff as well, but they have limited features, and it’s difficult to just create branches with them since everything is supposed to link back to one single thing.
If anyone knows about something like this existing somewhere, please do tell me!
MS Vizio can do what you’re talking about. It’s a flow chart designer on crack. I’d bet there’s quite a few modules designed for family tree building you can get for it.
Instead of a family tree planner, maybe start looking at flow chart builders? Or workflow planners or project management schedulers. They all can do something like what you’re talking about, even if they’re not directly designed for purpose of family tree diagrams.

Thank you, I’ll look into those!
