Weappy :

March 7th, 2024 – Your film unexpectedly became the highest-grossing picture of 1959. Where do you go from here? Of course, you capitalize on your success by cutting all possible corners and making an epically monstrous sequel! After all, that's exactly what our latest gameplay showcase video is all about. In Hollywood Animal, you run a movie studio over the course of decades, and you're free to grow it however you please — even if it means turning it into a soulless corporate juggernaut:


 

“There's something strangely satisfying about doing things in games that you hate seeing done in real life," say the developers from Weappy. "You might not find a single cinephile who rejoices in assembly-line filmmaking. But when you find yourself in the manager’s chair, responsible for the survival of a business, like you do in our game, all those time-tested tropes and outrageous cliches suddenly gain a new appeal.".


 

Whether you're driven by love of the art or counting cold hard cash, you'll get to run your dream film studio in Hollywood Animal. Just so long as you can make ends meet and the money rolling in this freeform film studio management game.


 

The Hollywood Animal Steam page is live now - wishlist today for updates on development and the release date. Also, check out Hollywood Animal's gorgeously animated Announcement Trailer on YouTube here.
