Details on design:

Between the gamelogic and the UI for the GameplayHUD, a specific Mediator will be created for this view model. This is too ensure, that none of the core components have to be modified to accomodate changes. The use of a mediator paired with the MVVM design ensures that in the long term as the project grows. There would be little need to retructure how the UI is generated, designed and interacted.

Notes on the use of monobehaviours

Monobehaviours can best be served for Views as they access the unity's lifecycle and interact with the different UI elements.
In ViewModels, they don't need to be tied with MonoBehaviours as they are independent from any view Logic and thus can be kept in plain C#
The only exception to this rule is if the MonoBehaviours need access to coroutines or any component ServiceLocators.
