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.

Awesome game! It was pretty challenging at the beginning, but now I can definitely see that it lacks difficulty settings. By 1935, I already have 70 million in my account, so I don't really see the point in continuing. The big companies just aren't developing at the same pace, so there's no challenge anymore. I really want to see what happens later in the game's history, but I guess I'll have to wait for the full release, hopefully with a higher difficulty option added.
steep learning curve but i'm really enjoying it
Até agora não consegui manter um estúdio aberto por mais de 3 anos, a mecânica do jogo é viciante e provavelmente o melhor simulador de cinema que já joguei, você precisa lidar não só com finança, mas com os dramas e tramóias de rivais, saber utilizar corrupção ao seu favor e lidar com ilegalidades pra sua vantagem. Vale muito a pena!
I do like this game, it's worth giving another shot if you haven't played in a while. Pretty much everything on the box, a fun game about making movies. I miss some of the cutscenes and narrative nature of this is the police but this game is still pretty good so I don't mind
tope de gama
The game is really fun, although there are a few things that don't get explained until certain points in the story. Like how to properly advertise your movie for your viewer base. It be a struggle until you get to that point because you can go bankrupt pretty easily at first. If you stick it out however the game has a lot of love and talent put in to it.
Sinceramente. Entretenido. Quizás no es un juego para todos pero la historia esta muy bien elegida. Faltan acciones y ramas en la historia pero es un juego muy diferente. Faltan cosas indudablemente pero recomendado.
Я... я... я.. Я смог... Я наконец-то сделал это!!! Тихий Дэн взял Поллас!!!
Un jeu de gestion et de simulation passionnant, très détaillé, qui nous permet d'ajuster énormément de facteurs liés à la production d'un film. La direction artistique est très agréable. J'avais adoré le doublage de This is the Police du même studio, pourquoi pas faire de même sur ce nouveau jeu ? Un élément cependant. Je joue à beaucoup de jeux de gestion, je m'en suis toujours bien sortie, mais je trouve le niveau de difficulté trop important sur celui-là, sans réels conseils pour s'améliorer. On manque de tutoriels plus poussés. J'ai deux banqueroutes au bout d'une dizaine d'années que je n'arrive pas à surmonter. Je vais en tout cas continuer d'y jouer et de découvrir le reste du jeu qui me reste encore inconnu dû à la difficulté !
An excellent game; I really loved the studio's previous titles—*This Is the Police* 1 & 2 and *Rebel Cops*—but this game is a true masterpiece. I think it captures the world of filmmaking and sets incredibly well (Spoiler!!! There are so many great details, such as the Black screenwriter being found dead in the street after the price drops, and so on). It would be absolutely perfect if it had Turkish language support, though the language barrier isn't a major issue. Having finished Act 1 after a long playtime, I am eagerly looking forward to Act 2, which adds TV series production alongside the movies and deepens the gameplay mechanics. Mükemmel bir oyun, firmanın önceki oyunları the polıce 1 ve 2 ve rebel cops'u da çok severdim ancak bu oyun tam bir başyapıt. Film ve set dünyasını çok iyi yansıttığını düşünüyorum (Spoiler !!! Siyahi senarist çocuk ödül aldıktan sonra sokak ortasında ölü buluınması olsun vb çok sayıda çarpıcı ve güzel detaylar barındırıyor), türkçe dil desteği olsa tadından iyice yenmez ama yine de çok dil problemi yaratmıyor. act 1 i uzun oynanış süresi sonunda bitirdim act 2 nin çıkmasını filmlerin yanına dizi olayının de eklenmesini ve oyunun iyice derinleşmesini sabırsızlıkla bekliyorum.
