April 2025
The game is a blast so far with one major disappointment. After a few hours of learning the ropes, I decided I wanted to start a fresh save having a better idea of the gameplay loop only to find that there's no way to skip the pretty long tutorial. This seems like a really big oversight and I hope it gets fixed soon, it really discourages exploration.

(Edited after roughly 3 hours of play). Enjoying it so far. The game is similar to an older title called Hollywood Mogul. The UI is generally a pleasure to use (though the text is a bit small), and the overall dark tone and style is entertaining. Positives A lot! There are many ways to interweave different aspects of this game. You choose filming directions; you have to deal with relationships with actors/directors/producers; you need to make decisions on a regular basis based on random happenings, some of which are also affected by the propensities of people you have working for you For example, if you have an actor who is an alcoholic: expect consequences. But does their popularity outweigh the need to constantly clear up their image? Negatives Fewer than positives, by a lot. The text is a bit small, yes. I also wish there were a kind of encyclopedia to list out all the possible directions in the game -- as it stands, you do not get information about things which are unresearched. The main negative so far: YOU CANNOT DISABLE THE TUTORIAL, and that is shockingly annoying. Hopefully the devs will change that, though it was already a complaint with the demo months ago. (Devs have responded in discussion that tutorial skipping is coming) Is it "The Movies"? Not really. As above, it is much closer to Hollywood Mogul. But, it does feel a bit more involved than that title. There is some creative freedom in terms of projects, if you use your imagination a bit. The main focus of this game is management, and that is fine by me. Linux? Works great out of the box for me without having to change any Proton defaults. Very enjoyable.

Finally! Finally, a world-class Movie Maker game! We've been waiting for this for decades! Glad someone did it! Thank you! The possibilities are overwhelming! - Tons of research, improvements, and buildings! - 6 different genres and the ability to mix up to three! - Have scripts created or write your own! Yes! Brilliant! - Around 12 different professions (producer, actor, security, etc.) - Hire people and develop them long-term, or simply hire stars for a particularly promising film! - Yes, there's competition! Expand the movie theaters! - Challenging game. Not too easy, not too difficult. Perfect! - And much, much more! Honestly, this game is more than worth its money. I'm overjoyed!

Released a banger. The lead actor died shortly before the premiere. His family demanded a percentage of the gross. I said no. They sued and won. Then they died from the heroin they bought with the money. 10/10

There have been attempts at making movie tycoon games before this, most famously with The Movies, but rarely has there been one with such a great attention to detail and a staggering amount of control. Enter Hollywood Animal, a project that I hope will be seen among the great independent games of the modern day. Featuring incredible artwork, an in-depth management system of actors, producers, directors, and outside forces alike, and a great amount of player control, it feels like a tycoon game beyond what has come before. The most staggering aspect comes down to just how clean and navigable the UI is. Not only is it gorgeous, but all features are laid out in an easy to understand way, so even with the amount of things you have to control, you never feel as if you're overwhelmed or missing important features due to a lack of explanation. I've been following this game since it was announced, and I hope the early access goes well. I will tell any strategy enthusiast that I know about this one and hope they jump on. Please, if you even remotely like these kinds of games, add this to your library. You will not regret it.
