Get your bribe money ready. Weappy Studios, the developer behindThis is the Police,has unveiledtheir latest game,Hollywood Animal. It’s set torelease on PCsometime in 2024.
Hollywood Animalis a narrative management sim where you try to run a movie studio with as few scruples as possible. Manage staff through gifts or blackmail, create movies to gain favors, but just keep things as profitable as possible. Craft art, build stars, or simply find their dark spots so you can stick a hook in and make them dance. All this is covered in the absolutely fantastic announcement trailer.
I don’t remember the last time I saw a game trailer that superb.
Hollywood Animalis being billed as a narrative-first game, but includes all the standard management hooks. By the looks of all the systems show off, it’s really quite complex. It takes you through the ages as you attempt to keep your studio afloat while not bringingtoomuch attention to your shady dealings. Select the director, the writers, and the actors, and then try to keep them all happy (or at least complacent). Navigate the changing political landscape of the ages.
I am so on board with this. I’ve wanted a good movie studio simulator for a while, or at least a re-release of2005’sThe Movies. Crime is also a passion of mine, so it’s a really good mix.
Hollywood Animalsis currently announced for PC and is expected to land sometime in 2024.
