How to start in reverse engineering game archives?
Hi everyone. I tried to extract data from several game archives using QuickBMS scripts, but none of them worked. The last game I tried to extract data from was Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. I'm familiar with Unity3d, C# and Python, but know nothing about reverse engineering. What are some resource or books best suited for reverse engineering game archives? All the courses I looked up on Udemy are for reverse engineering trojans and programs. Is there a beginner friendly book that is focused on reverse engineering archives and not programs? Thank you

In my experience is research a good starting point. Folks always expecting books for some reasons and I'm sure there are many books for everything but since we live in a digital age it's way more effecient gathering intel by crawling the wallhalla of our century for the informations.

Sometimes I'm sticking with Unity too but I'm working on it.
I also created a tool-chain that operates a large amount of resources by identfy, scanning for useful material, decode the archives and spit out the loot I was hunting for
