About
Build exactly the studio you want
In Hollywood Animal, you can decide to build a multi-billion-dollar monster that destroys everything in its path, with blockbusters made strictly according to formulas. But this is far from your only option. You might instead create a boutique studio, and conquer the festivals with avant-garde directors. You could build a trash factory, challenging "good taste" at every turn, filling the screens with blood and spit. This game doesn't tell you how to play or limit you in anything. Just have fun making movies while you try to keep the whole thing afloat.
We shouldn't forget the film industry is just one part of a much larger and dynamic world. Wars and social upheaval, censorship and corruption, strained relations with the authorities and criminal disputes. — Some will be buried in an avalanche of problems, while others seize new opportunities. Make your moves behind the scenes, form unexpected alliances, lie and betray. There are no magic formulas in Hollywood Animal. Only those who can adapt and negotiate survive.
You're the boss, not the groundskeeper
You're the head of a movie studio, and Hollywood Animal delivers challenges fitting your status. Your attention won't be dominated by wallpaper selection and planting bushes. Your time is worth much more than that. Instead you'll be focused on which characters and themes really capture your audience's imagination. That is, while you're not focused on investing in technology that will revolutionize the industry. All while you're persuading a bright young star to sign a long-term contract — despite the fact the arrogant punk has sworn he'll never work with you again.
Of course, Hollywood Animal has everything we love about the genre — building, resource management, upgrades and the rest. — But this is just an outer shell. What matters is the choices you make and the human stories that are written in the process. Whims, prejudices, addictions, secrets from the past... show business is always a tangle of conflicts, and you will be the one to unravel it all. Let someone who works for you take care of the bushes.
Any approach is good — we are, after all, only animals
Hollywood Animal includes you in every step of the filmmaking process, from making up plots to theater distribution, and each part of the game is crafted with artistry and dedication. But the opportunities you'll have are much wider than what you'd usually expect from a tycoon strategy game. Every business has a dark side. You can follow the law — or stay on the mayor's good side. You can raise the screenwriter's salary — or remind him about the prostitute he strangled, which you yourself had hushed up. You can delay a film's release to avoid competition — or ask your friends in the mafia to clear the whole calendar.
You'll want to take great care, when picking the actor for the lead role in your Civil War epic. But in Hollywood Animal, it's just as important how many ribs you'll have to break before he accepts the part.

Время идёт, а воз и ныне там. Механики едва добавляются а слишком большое требование к ручному микроменеджменту быстро утомляет, что не способствует реиграбельности. Крайне не советую покупать до выхода игры, потому что хоть идея и хороша темпы не вселяют надежду и уверенность в разработчиков
с момента выхода игры игроки так и не дождались выхода второго Акта. Кормят комьюнити только завтраками. Сама задумка просто прекрасна, но по какой-то причине проект как-будто забросили. В данный момент никому не рекомендую покупать эту игру, так как есть риск остаться с сырым продуктом. Обязательно изменю отзыв, если за полгода разработчик выпустит хотя бы второй Акт
одна ошибка и ты ошибся
Игра с отличным потенциалом, интересной атмосферой, необычным сеттингом. Не знаю какие законы рынка повлияли на разработку (в раннем доступе она хорошо продалась, многие именитые ютуберы играли на выходе), но развития за последний год нет. Второй акт, обещанный аж в начале 2026 года, просто испарился. Надо либо ускоряться и уже наконец-то дропать обещанный контент, тем самым завершая разработку, либо честно признаться, что вы обосрались. Рефанд сделать лично я все равно не смогу (как и многие другие игроки, а никто сейчас ваш обрубок идеи покупать не станет), хотя очень хотелось бы.
It's just a total mess. Popups every 5 seconds, continual police raids, progress locked behind skill trees with lengthy research times and no clarity regarding which should take priority.
This could have been a great game - if it was a "sandbox". Unfortunately it's linear - if you start a new game exact same events happen and that's what drives the story. The choices that you are making don't influence the story line and the only random elements are small and not significant.
Он обязательно [strike]выживет[/strike] дождётся второй акт
A grind simulator where you run a movie studio but you gonna need a trainer to speed up your research to match the curveball. Still difficult when handling other parties outside the studio and the movie production itself a bit of chores. Not sure if there's still a bug where the female roles turned to male roles or text disappears or just crashes. They need to specifically focus in fixing Chapter 1 since it's the only part that still being developed. Buy it on discount or after a huge updates.
Только проекты от этой студии прохожу по несколько раз. Очевидно, лучший выбор, если вы любитель жанра. Хз, зачем нытики в отзывах пишут про сорванные сроки - это уже норма для геймдева. Только есть условный тарков, который после выпуска ничем почти не отличается от раннего доступа, а есть проекты в которых реально переделывают игру до неузнаваемости и подают тебе совершенно новый опыт. Почему-то, мне верится что эта игра, именно тот случай. Стоит немного подождать и не беспокоиться - разработка в надёжных руках.
Brooo just when I end up grinding all the ♥♥♥♥ and the game starts looking fun... it ends. I mean i enjoyed it but that sucks Also the pop-ups every 30 seconds are annoying. Hope it gets better soon.
