In this 2018 GDC session, Creative Assembly's Michael Malinowski presents the company's approach to building and utilizing a version-centric plugin architecture during production.

It was a rich and thought-provoking technical talk in which Malinowski walked attendees through a variety of Creative Assembly's animation, rigging and pipeline tools, showcasing how the studio's approach allows for a more experimental and forward-facing development process.
