In this episode, Petr Nohejl of Warhorse Studios joins us to explore one of game development’s most constant tensions: creativity versus validation. From technical constraints like file naming limits and tooling rules to the challenge of keeping large teams productive, Petr shares real-world examples of why validation systems exist—and why they can feel frustrating to developers pushing creative boundaries. Together, we unpack how this “push and pull” ultimately leads to better-performing pipelines, more scalable production, and stronger games.
