I go over the Scriptable Object creation, instantiating them through code dynamically, showing the functions you can call within them, and will mention additional uses with them such as event based messaging and replacing enums. I will be making another video going more in-depth with the event based messaging. Scriptable Objects are scene and play-mode independent assets that live in the project scope and are used to contain data. This makes it great for rapid iteration for both developers and designers and allows for easier testing due to reduced dependencies (can isolate testing features).

Small Fix, in the video I said to put SerializeField and a private setter, but make sure to add the field tag as so
[CreateAssetMenu]
public sealed EnemyData : ScriptableObject
{
[field: SerializeField]
public Int32 MaxHealth { get; private set; } = 100;
}
