Due to a developer’s oversight, gigabytes of information from Star Citizen games leaked to the network.

The network has leaked 48 GB of resources from the development of large-scale multiplayer space game Star Citizen , which is being developed by Cloud Imperium Games. Since the game runs on the CryEngine engine, anyone can download resources into the engine and look at some game details.

One of the fans has already carried out this operation and laid out a video with an excursion around one of the ships in the game, Bengal Carrier. In the video, the ship is located above the picturesque landscape and is notable for the abundance of fine details. It is noticeable that not all textures are ready yet - instead of the missing ones, there is an inscription “replace me” (replace me).

The data leak occurred due to an oversight by one of the members of the Cloud Imperium Games development team. Hurrying to boast about the current state of development, he took screenshots of the working screen and posted them to the network. In the screenshot, big-eyed fans looked at the part of the URL pointing to the torrent in the corporate network. Some of the fans managed to supplement the address and download the specified file, access to which was not limited to a password. After pumping out and game information was discovered.

Although this is still only the resources of the unfinished game, the players waiting for it express concerns about the excessive volume of the future product. But the developers themselves have already mentioned that most likely, the client part of the game will weigh about 100 GB. Not everyone has access to fast unlimited Internet, which is why there is a discontent of gamers. Games of this size, probably, can already be distributed on flash drives - at least, on DVD it is definitely not worth releasing.

Star Citizen is an online space simulator under development. The game is under development by Cloud Imperium Games Corporation, founded by Chris Roberts in April 2012. Roberts previously worked on games such as Wing Commander, Privateer, Freelancer, and Starlancer.

According to the plot of the game, mankind went into deep space, populating many planets within the famous galaxy. As new regions were explored, other civilizations were met, some of which managed to establish trade and diplomatic relations; with others, relations end only with military clashes.

The game is the largest crowdfunding project in history. At present, the volume of collected funds has already exceeded $ 83 million. The developers promise to release the game in 2016.
