for me it was the discovery that resources can't reference each other, whereas scriptableobjects in unity do that without issue, but it's a difference in how they're loaded. i just built what i needed with nodes in a scene and it worked great.

The bottleneck was monolithic classes and methods. It was hard to know where new level functionality belonged, and adding anything meant more boilerplate or risking regressions. Breaking the logic into interfaces and ScriptableObjects has made adding levels and moving things around much easier.

It's a shame because GameObjects and ScriptableObjects are still fun to play and make prototypes with, and things like the new Input System are amazing additions. When you go back to basics, Unity can still be genuinely fun to work with.
That being said, I can't also wait to get my hands on Godot.

I believe people say custom resources are Godot's answer to unity's ScriptableObjects.

Workaround I went with was setting up an asset postprocess to make mirrored duplicates of any item animations, since mirroring at the Animation Clip level works. Then when I'm storing them in ScriptableObjects I can auto store a reference to the mirrored copy as well

Great setup! Using ScriptableObjects for character traits is a pro move—it keeps your data decoupled from logic, making it way easier to iterate and balance stats without touching code.

It's a lot of cross-referencing in code and ScriptableObjects. I see so many people treating it like it's super easy, but I honestly struggle with it so much 🤣🤣 Then again, those two are just annoying. Once you start working with item stacking, the math is what gets REALLY tough 😅

Love seeing the new dev stuff!! 😄 As a seasoned dev, I can tell you this is a really good thing to train, because you'll end up using it a lot. Something I'd recommend looking into is ScriptableObjects, I've avoided those for super long because I found them scary, but they're extremely useful! 🙌

Yesterday I coded a small tool to help me with documentation.
It exports all ScriptableObjects from a Unity project into an Excel document. Nothing fancy, but it saved me a lot of time and made updating my documentation much easier.

Guess who had a ScriptableObject that was loaded from the asset database, was only references on the stack and was getting unloaded mid function on a prebuild process.

yeah definitely for ScriptableObjects of which you have many! (data)

Honestly even more than with MonoBehaviours, I find custom icons a must have for ScriptableObjects. I would find it impossible to work in a project with lots of data long-term without every type having a well-defined icon.

NarrativeSequences are ScriptableObjects with few inheritors with unique features, depending on what we want to do with them exactly. Makes it easy to configure their unique aspects, as the NarrativeSequenceManager executes them all the same when you just drag-and-drop them.

Been working today on a modular Research/Upgrade System using Unity ScriptableObjects.
Intending for this to be a tool I can use in multiple game projects going forward.
