Demo Scenes

Simple Skill Forge ships with two interactive demo scenes that showcase all 4 forges and their runtime components. Both demos are generated procedurally via editor menu commands — no manual scene setup required.

Demo	Purpose	Requirements
ARPG Demo	Proves the SSF runtime API works: browse skills, rank up, unlock tree nodes, equip loadouts, cast combos	SSF only (standalone)
Soulslike Demo	Showcases cross-forge integration: browse items/enemies/quests and see how they connect to skills	SSF + SAF + SIF + SEF + SQF (all installed)

ARPG Demo

A 4-tab interactive skill system with Royal Orange theme (1920x1080).

Tab 1: Skills

Left panel: searchable skill list with rank badges. Right panel: skill detail with identity, properties, rank stats (per-rank costs, UNLOCKED/LOCKED status), prerequisites (MET/NOT MET), and cross-forge connections. RANK UP button deducts resources. EQUIP TO BAR adds the skill to the bottom bar.

Tab 2: Skill Trees

Left panel: tree list. Right panel: node list showing skill name, SP cost, level requirement, and UNLOCK/UNLOCKED/LOCKED status. Click a node to unlock it (deducts skill points). RESET TREE refunds all points.

Tab 3: Loadout

Left panel: set list with equipped count. Right panel: dropdown per slot for skill assignment, X button to unequip, and set bonus progress (3/5 threshold bonuses with OK/[ ] indicators).

Tab 4: Combos

Left panel: combo list with step count. Right panel: step sequence with skill names, required/optional flags, timing windows, alternate skills, reward thresholds. Live tracker shows combo progress bars and next valid skills.

Bottom Bar

6 skill slots with CAST buttons. Casting updates combo tracking, shows combo progress, set status, and cast log. Cyclic assignment — equipping when full wraps to slot 0.

Top Bar

Class dropdown (filters all tabs by character class). Cheat buttons: +LVL, +SP, +Souls for testing.

Soulslike Demo

A 7-tab cross-forge showcase with upsell panel. Same Royal Orange theme.

Upsell Panel

Shown when any companion package (SAF/SIF/SEF/SQF) is not installed. Displays a checklist of INSTALLED/MISSING packages with descriptions of what each provides. A forceShowUpsell debug toggle on the component lets you test this panel even with all packages installed.

Tabs 1–4: Skills, Trees, Loadout, Combos

Same functionality as the ARPG demo. Uses "Souls" instead of "Gold" for the Soulslike theme.

Tab 5: Items

Browses all items from assigned SIF databases. Shows item name, code, description, properties (categories, flags, numerics, texts reflected from the item database), and skill connections — which skills grant, require, produce, or consume this item.

Tab 6: Enemies

Browses all enemies from assigned SEF databases. Shows enemy name, code, description, info (properties reflected from the enemy database), and skill connections — which skills are taught by, trained by, or summoned by this enemy.

Tab 7: Quests

Browses all quests from assigned SQF databases. Shows quest name, code, description, and skill connections — which skills this quest unlocks or rewards.

Cross-Forge Reflection

The Soulslike demo uses FindType() to scan all loaded assemblies for SIF/SEF/SQF interfaces. It builds lookup dictionaries (code → name, code → description) and reverse lookups (item → skills that reference it) via reflection at startup. No hard dependencies on any companion package.

Generating Demo Scenes

ARPG Demo

1 Generate databases using the 4 forge wizards with the ARPG template.

2 Generate the demo canvas: Window > Living Failure > Simple Skill Forge > Generate Skill Demo

3 Assign databases to the SkillDemo component (see below).

4 Press Play and interact with the skill system.

Soulslike Demo

1 Install SAF, SIF, SEF, and SQF from the Asset Store.

2 Generate databases using all forge wizards with Soulslike templates.

3 Generate the demo canvas: Window > Living Failure > Simple Skill Forge > Generate Soulslike Demo

4 Assign all databases (SSF + SAF + SIF + SEF + SQF) to the SoulslikeSkillDemo component.

5 Press Play and browse across all forges.

Assigning Databases

After generating a demo canvas, select the root canvas GameObject in the Hierarchy. The demo component will be attached with empty database array fields:

ARPG Demo (SkillDemo component)

Field	What to Assign
`skillDatabases`	Your generated Skill database .asset(s)
`treeDatabases`	Your generated Skill Tree database .asset(s)
`setDatabases`	Your generated Skill Set database .asset(s)
`comboDatabases`	Your generated Skill Combo database .asset(s)

Soulslike Demo (SoulslikeSkillDemo component)

Field	What to Assign
`skillDatabases`	SSF Skill database(s)
`treeDatabases`	SSF Skill Tree database(s)
`setDatabases`	SSF Skill Set database(s)
`comboDatabases`	SSF Skill Combo database(s)
`attributeDatabases`	SAF Attribute database(s)
`modifierAssets`	SAF Modifier assets
`itemDatabases`	SIF Item database(s)
`enemyDatabases`	SEF Enemy database(s)
`factionDatabases`	SEF Faction database(s)
`questDatabases`	SQF Quest database(s)
`characterTemplates`	SAF Character Template assets

All database arrays accept multiple assets. If you generated separate ARPG and Soulslike databases, you can assign both to the same array — the demo will merge and deduplicate entries.
