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.

This game is very fun once you learn strategies for money. I have not cleared the first act yet and the furthest I got was 1944. That said I have been enjoying the challenge and reshaping what I do and invest in to be more successful. This game is great for a strategy game with a challenge.
В грі дуже дизбалансна економіка. Фільми коштують дорого, глядачів залучат тяжко навіть якщо робити рекламу фільму. Часом фільм без реклами збирає більше грошей, ніж з рекламою. Критики засруть твій фільм, навіть якщо він має художню і комерційну привабливість вище 8 з 10. А від цього і люди не йдуть дивитись. Щоб заробляти в цій грі, треба кліпати будь-які фільми як можна більше. Але не завжди ці фільми виходять дешеві. А якщо щей провалився в прокаті, це може означати кінець гри. В цій грі практично нереально вибратись із боргу - 3 провалених фільма і вам гаплик. Ви не завжди впливаєте на якість фільма - під час зйомок актори можуть посваритись і це дуже знизить якість перспективного фільму. Що також вбиває ваш баланс. Позитивних івентів, які покращують якісь фільму, практично немає. Німці, які дають кошти за дружбу з ними, з'являються дуже пізно - коли ти вже і так в боргах. Попав у борг - лови мінус сто до репутації. Якщо репутація від'ємна більше ніж на 100 пунктів - це вже кінець гри. Гра занадто душна, і потребує балансних правок. В цій грі вам не дадуть зняти фільм, який ви хочете, як це було в старенькій грі The Movies. Гра безпощадно карає за будь-яку помилку. А також карає навіть тоді, коли ти і не помилявся взагалі - а просто виліз невдалий івент
bugs is killing me
love the police series and also love this game
As a guy working in the film industry, this game gave me PTSD with all the events and choices. It’s way too accurate, and that’s honestly the funniest part. 8/10.
I was really enjoying this game until a bug dropped my balance to -$1 billion and wiped all of my prestige after six in-game years. Kind of a bummer.
still tons of potential , slow burner manager of film studio with a lot of details
Tout simplement "The Executive - Movie Industry Tycoon" en plus détaillé et avec des évènements aléatoires (ou scriptés) qui rendent le jeu plus compliqué à appréhender.
Eastern euro game, russian or ukrainian. Can't recommend it, becomes extremely grindy and repetitive (similar to the worst parts of Darkest Dungeon). The entire process of releasing films is also tedious because you get unskippable scenes where the screen basically freezes and you have to wait for text to slowly display, ex. like when getting reviews after every completed film (~10secs or so) and during police raids. The game scenario is also a bit frustrating because you start behind all other firms, and you will not catch up after hours and hours, it often feels like you are being punished by the game itself, its not satisfying. Gameplay is similar to ex. a Paradox strategy game where time moves forward and you get popups, but with much more repetitive micro-managment. Also Early access so bugs are expected. Hope they can make it better.
