This War of Mine, a warzone survival simulator told from the civilian perspective, has just one more day left in its War Child Charity DLC offer. So far, sales have earned enough money to help 350. This War of Mine: The Little Ones explores the hardships of wartime survival as seen from an entirely new perspective; that of a child. Based on This War of Mine, The Little Ones puts you in charge of a group of adults and children stuck in the middle of hell, trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with lack of food, medicine. 11 bit studios has introduced some new War Child Charity DLC to This War Of Mine. The DLC is purely cosmetic. It adds street art to the walls of the war ruins, by artists like M-City, Gabriel.
11 bit studios, the studio behind This War of Mine, has raised over $500,000 for War Child UK, a charity that seeks to 'protect, educate and stand up for the rights of children caught up in conflict'.
Since the game went on sale on November 14th, 2014, 100 per cent of the net income of This War of Mine's charity DLC – which added war-themed works of world-famous graffiti artists – have gone towards War Child UK's efforts to deliver its programmes across countries including Afghanistan, Iraq, the Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Yemen.
So far, the money has gone towards establishing three temporary learning spaces where 260 children were able to carry on with their education and exams to complete their school year, placing 26 unaccompanied children with foster families in Bambari, Central African Republic, providing summer schooling to 457 students in Iraq, and supporting 840 children, aged four to six, to access Early Childhood and Care Development in Kabul and Herat in In Afghanistan.
The funding has also helped the charity expand its child helpline in the Democratic Republic of Congo – which received 14,557 calls in 2017 and referred 2,215 children to specialised child protection organisations – as well as fund a new fundraising arm at War Child dedicated to working with gamers. So far, that initiative has raised over $2.5 million.
'None of this would be possible, without the help of the players. We would like to thank them all,' says the press statement, which confirms the DLC is still available and sales of which will continue to support War Child UK.
A new app that combines games from Gameloft, Wooga, Featherweight Games, and Sports Interactive is on sale now to raise funds to support children affected by conflict. Richman10 download.
'The mobile games industry offers a great opportunity to engage and entertain millions across the globe,' said Adam Holmes of War Child UK about the app initiative. 'It's been amazing to see the industry rally behind HELP, and we're blown away by the games that have been created in just six days. Our partners in this represent the best in mobile gaming talent and we're hugely grateful for their support.'

The hit indie war survival video game This War of Mine has not only sold over 4 1/2 million copies since its release in November 2014, the Polish developer 11 bit studios also wanted to make sure they were responsible global citizens, along with being hit game creators.
Especially when it comes to the grimness of the game's story — war.
That is why 11 bit studios recently donated a massive chunk of their profits from the game — $500, 000 — to the War Child charity. A non-governmental organization that gives help to children in conflict areas, and to children who are still dealing with the aftermath of a war.
This War of Mine requires the player to keep a group of civilians alive in a city in the grip of war. It has been so successful for the Polish indie studio, it is reported the game recouped all its development costs in just the first two days in was on sale.
The donation given to War Child mainly came from sales of two of three planned DLCs or ‘Stories' for the game — Fathers Promise and The Last Broadcast, which were released in late 2018 and 2018. The third one has a planned release soon, and all three are available for purchase in a Season Pass.
