Technical Breakdown
Data Structures
NPC is a Scriptable Object responsible for all the NPC data defined during development.
Skill Information is the Scriptable Object used to store data for a skill defined during development.
Scriptable Objects are utilized for in-editor data due to their editability and easy-integration with the UI-Toolkit.
The data stored in these objects are never changed at runtime.
Persistent Data is the class used to store data that changes at runtime and should persist between sessions.
Two subclasses define NPC data and player’s skills data.
JSON files are used to store this type of data as they can be edited at runtime and remain on the user's PC between sessions.
