on this close partnership. CONTENTS For instance, in November of this year, Travian Games gave an impressive example of how coopera- tion between a German games producer and a charitable organization can work: The online role-playing title Miramagia hosted a charity event in the game. In collaboration with the subsidiary Bright Future, Travian Games designed an exclusive in-game item called “Mina”. This item concerns a colorful magical creature that acts as a kind of strong companion and loyal friend for the player’s avatar. The proceeds of this accessory from the German-speaking game worlds were donated to the AKM foundation. For this year’s fundraising event in the run up to Christmas, the Bavarian company is guaranteeing Story Page(s) a donation total of €5,000. In addition, donations will also be collected within the company: Each employee has the opportunity to donate to the AKM foundation. This amount will then be doubled by Travian Games Christmas Fundraising at Travian Games 16 - 17 and DWA TV Announce Six New Series 18 - 19 Planet Coaster Adventure Pack Releases 20 Nyko Releases Bubble Case and Swivel Grips for Switch 21 Fearful Symmetry & The Cursed Prince Releases 21 GmbH. What’s more, the games producer has decided not to send any printed Christmas cards this year, Marble Land Launches on Steam for VR 22 Ultimate Chicken Horse Releases 22 - 23 instead preferring to email a digital version to all the company’s business partners. The amount of money this Dodgeball Rising to Launch in 2018 23 will save in terms of printing and postage will likewise benefit this extraordinary organization. The regional nature of the Munich Children’s Hospice also reflects the focus of the Munich-based games producer. Both companies are dedicated to the local community. The Managing Director of Travian Games GmbH, Lars Janssen, exemplifies this particularly through his voluntary efforts within the organiza- tion: “We are a company with many parents among our employees, so our work with the Munich Children’s Hospice is very close to our hearts. This is why I am personally committed to this cause. I would also like to utilize the possibilities of Travian Games GmbH to contribute to supporting AKM in the long term and facili- tating their valuable work in the region, not just monetarily.”

Travian Games GmbH wishes to raise awareness for these kinds of foundations and keep in mind - not only at Christmas - those who have to go through difficult times.
