How Reality Shows That This War of Mine is More Than a Best-selling Game

Modernity is constantly shocking us. However, it is impossible to imagine what would have happened years later. The War of MineThe bestseller would have many repercussions on 11 bit studios. We will also be reminded of the importance of this theme in our lives, which we’ll once more discover that we did much more than just a game.

It was the Balkan War that sparked the original idea for making such a game. The Warsaw Uprising was another source of inspiration, as well as the Siege of Grozny and the civil war in Syria. All those conflicts had one thing in common – the tragedy of civilians trapped in cities destroyed by hostilities. When The War of Mine was still in development, in March 2014, the war in Donbas broke out, and the team felt even more responsibility in crafting its message in the right tone and the importance of what we’re trying to achieve. And now, we’re deeply shocked by the amount of aggression aimed at Ukraine eight years later and the fact that humankind again has to relive all this cruelty.

Hours after Russia invaded Ukraine when images of destroyed buildings emerged on the Internet, people started to write that, “This looks like The War of Mine.” Albeit you can feel proud that your work proved to be so accurate, that it’s associated with certain situations, it’s also tremendously bitter that The War of Mine accuracy remains actual. That’s why we, as the developers behind a game bearing an anti-war message, felt an urgency to act and launched the fundraising campaign for Ukraine on the same day.

We felt that the game could have a unique character back in those early days. A platform to deliver a meaningful message. It couldn’t be possible without a certain delicacy in approach to the theme to portray it with respect and sensitivity. Civilians, trapped in a war-torn reality, dying because of hunger and lack of medicine – this is not something that you associate with plain entertainment which comes to mind when thinking about games. The War of MineIt was an unknown risk. But we didn’t back down. In order not to minimize the subject, we determined that each part of our game had to be consistent with the essence and the message. Everything from the mechanics of the game to the text and graphics. The entire package should work together to highlight the horrors that war brings.

As The War of MineS transitions to it, with 4K visuals that make this an even better experience.|S, and thanks to 4K visuals it never worked better as such an experience, thus we can surely say that we succeeded. Game Pass will allow us to spread the word even more. It was worth the effort. The War of Mine, we told ourselves that we don’t want to make just games. It is our goal to produce games that have thought-provoking themes and are considered entertainment. And we’re still doing so.
