No Man's Sky (Windows)
A game that was critically panned at launch for making and failing too many promises. Somehow it made a massive U-turn and is now a beloved game. Nice work Hello Games!

Unused Graphics
ANIMATEDTEXTURE
An unusual texture of 4 colored boxes each numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4. It was very likely used to test animated textures.
Cube Test and Physics Test
Two differently colored textures, which both resemble a face.
Joe Face
A leftover texture of Joe Danger's face from the game Joe Danger, which Hello Games worked on previously.
Half-Life 2 Logo
Two different Half-Life 2 logos. Why these are here is unknown.
Material Test Cube Mask Texture
A texture most likely used for testing.
Material Test Cube Texture
Another texture likely used for testing.
Checkerboard Textures
Four checkerboard patterns most likely used for a test level.
Blue Monkey
Three textures for a Blue Monkey wearing a fez, which is also left over from Joe Danger.
Chicken Body and Head
Another leftover from Joe Danger featuring two textures for a green chicken.
Jelly Diffuse
A basic texture with a few colors and a face.
Dog Icon
An unused icon. It shows a golden retriever with glasses on.
Buy Ship
What seems to be an early render of a ship with a dollar sign.
Early Model Renders
What appear to be early low quality renders of models in the game.
SM CREATURE RENDER
A small render of an unknown creature.
Placeholder Starship Weapon - "Laser Blaster"
If the player edits their save file to delete the Photon Cannon system (the primary and default weapon) and boards their Starship, the Starship will still attempt to load the Photon Cannon and fail. What it loads instead is an unused weapon called Laser Blaster as described in the Starship Cockpit's weapon panel. It fires no projectiles (or lasers), does not change the gun reticule, has no ammo count or overheat potential, and cannot be cycled back to if the pilot changes the current weapon.
