Keep it modular, editable and debuggable. Using a framework with strong pillars, accomplished on all the advantages of use scriptable objects and his related patrons as scriptable variables, game events, runtime sets… etc.
But scriptable objects and events are something little mentioned, although having a very wide potential of use, with this perspective both programming and design with tools take a new direction.
SOA is an architecture, based on the use of scriptable objects as global references, avoiding instance dependency and encouraging a strong use of the editor through multipurpose tools.
*Based on “Unity Austin 2017 – Game Architecture with Scriptable Objects”.
The realization of multipurpose tools gives designers great freedom to make an emergent and more creative use of the framework, also, the use of events in a generalized way allows great optimization.
Some patterns used in the framework are:
