Doing good through games
This War of Minetakes a look at a part of conflict that videogames rarely explore: that of those who aren’t fighting for a side, but just fighting to survive. It’s a harrowing experience, one of the heaviest of 2014 to be sure.
With a small add-on, developer 11 bit studios aims to help those that its game depicts in desperate situations. Absolutely all revenue from the DLC will be donated to War Child, a charity that provides assistance to children in war-torn areas. The DLC comes at $1, $10, and $20 levels — all contributions unlock the same content, the only difference being how much you feel like donating.
The add-on provides street art throughoutThis War of Minefor the player to find and unlock. Artists M-City, Gabriel “Specter” Reese, SeaCreative, Emir Cerimovic, Fauxreel, and Mateusz Waluś all contributed. They’re doing a little bit to attempt to make the world a better place for those who have it unimaginably tough; won’t you, too?
