On File Formats

I've been meaning to write something about file format design for a while, and might as well do a blog post. This is pretty unorganized, in a moment thing, so take it as it is.

Fifth Mass Effect game is in preproduction at BioWare / Electronic Arts, with approximately zero people from the original trilogy team, so I don't have high hopes for it. Apparently someone in the management felt that the original plans for the plot, which made sense and were good, were "leaked" or something, so they had to pull something new out of the hat and the ending was weird. Apart from all that, I have this annoying idea buzzing in my head that I should pick some faraway city, and then obsess about its history like only someone who has never been there can, and then spin a game or book or something on a fantasy setting on top of that.
