Beach Life Virtual Resort: Spring Break - Opening and Editing The .BLE Game Files

Image
images taken from the game and from the game manual I have an itch to play Beach Life every now and then. The last time it happened, I found a band-aid solution to guests complaining about high prices. I wanted to make more changes if I could but I couldn't find a way to open and read some of the script files. There are some files in the game that are readable on notepad ( GameParameters.pis and the other . pis files on each scenario and sandscenario folder) but when you try to open up the . ble files, you only see random symbols. I've tried tools that I've seen recommended online ( Game Extractor , Ghidra , Offzip to name a few). Admittedly, I did just glaze over them because I know nothing about reverse engineering a game and didn't know what to do. I have an inkling to play it again recently, and I decided to try an idea that has been looming over my head but have been avoiding.... The GameParameters.pis file had a header containing the file name, and I notice...

Cyanide Studio secured the license to HBO's Game of Thrones



Earlier this year, Cyanide Studio revealed their plans on releasing a role playing game and a real time strategy game for PC adaptation of George R. R. Martin's successful 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series. The real time strategy game entitled 'A Game of Thrones - Genesis' is a single player campaign written under the supervision of George R. R. Martin himself. The release date would be on the third quarter of 2011.

Just recently in an interview, Cyanide Studio stated that they had secured the license to HBO's Game of Thrones for their RPG, making it an official GoT video game. Cyanide's RPG is still untitled and is set to release in 2012. 

When I first looked at the screenshots for 'A Game of Thrones - Genesis', I was a bit disappointed with it graphics wise. Despite what I've just said, graphics aren't really a big of an issue for me (I still enjoy playing the Aveyond series because of the storyline, proving I can look past graphics on gaming). It's the actual gameplay that I'm really looking forward to, even though I'm not a fan of RTS games. Since Cyanide Studio's RPG is an official GoT game, I presume the expectations on it would be higher. 'A Song of Ice and Fire' is great, but a lot of book/movie/TV video game tie-ins doesn't turn out good (The only exception from what I've tried is Lord of the Rings Online. Turbine has cleverly made their MMORPG faithful to Tolkien's lore despite not actually playing as one of the main characters.). I really do hope both games would turn out well.

In the meantime, just check out Cyanide Studio's official website for updates on both games here. (The official website for the RTS 'A Game of Thrones - Genesis' is up, so be sure to visit it as well here.)
