HOLLYWOOD ANIMAL "How To Make a Quick Buck With a Shameless Sequel"Mar 7, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsYour 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 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." Hollywood Animal is coming to PC later this year.

Hollywood Animal is coming to PC in 2024! In a new strategy game from the creators of This Is the Police, you'll take the helm of a film studio in the late 1920s, and guide it through decades of tough choices. If you liked the gritty style of our previous games, please come give Hollywood Animal a look and add it to your wishlist. To celebrate the announcement, we created a gift for fans of This Is the Police: two new investigations. The first sets up the story in This Is the Police 1, and the other continues it in This Is the Police 2. (And yes, it involves the venerated Bloody Shirt film franchise). If you're reading this, the investigations have already been added to your games! Enjoy! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2680550/Hollywood_Animal/Bloody ShirtNov 1, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsIf you've played This Is the Police, you may remember the Bloody Shirt action films the characters often rhapsodize about. It's finally time to reveal the story of the first, and by most accounts, the best film of the series. Johnny Mastroianni has a good life. He works as a corporate lawyer. His family adores him. And he even has the time to pursue his favorite hobby: Johnny designs men's suits in his basement workshop. He has a special talent for silk shirts. But for Johnny this isn't just a hobby — it's also a chance for him to get closer to his roots. His grandfather and father were tailors as well, and indeed Johnny dreams of reviving the family business. One day he shares this dream in confession with Pastor Belardo — and he receives the priest's blessing. Johnny turns to his senior colleagues, Carl Prickton and Edward Nord, for an investment. With their money, he launches production — and in two years he turns Mastroianni into a leader in the premium men's clothing industry, rivaling Gucci and Versace. Coveting Mastroianni's success, the partners decide to take the company away from Johnny. Prikton and Nord learn that Johnny confesses to Pastor Belardo, and they offer the priest a fortune in exchange for information. The pastor agrees — and reveals to the villains that Johnny suffers from mental problems, and is subject to uncontrollable outbursts of rage. Further, he's terrified that his wife, children or colleagues might fall victim. Seizing upon this, Prikton and Nord launch a whole campaign against Johnny. They bribe a doctor to conclude that Johnny is unfit to perform his duties, and bribe Mastroianni employees to complain of Johnny's inappropriate behavior. The board of directors removes Johnny, and even the courts side with the conspirators. Johnny's life is in ruins. Deceived and forsaken, and mentally unstable, he awakens the monster within him — and sets out to take his revenge. First he hunts down Linda Schiller, his former “right hand” in the company. She publicly aired the lie that Johnny attempted to rape her. He stuffs her in the Mastroianni ironing press, and keeps her there until Linda's screams are lost in the smell of her steaming flesh. Johnny then goes after Antoine Fourier, the intern who lied that Johnny threw sewing supplies at him in anger. Johnny pushes Antoine into a trunk, takes him to his basement workshop, and embroiders his skin with silk threads. Antoine dies of shock from the pain. Next, Johnny breaks into Edward Nord's home, drags him into the dressing room and strangles him with a Mastroianni shirt until Nord's eyes pop out of his head. After that, Johnny tracks down Carl Prickton at a strip club. He shoots Prikton in the groin with a shotgun, then finishes him off with a shot to the head. Of those who betrayed him, only Pastor Belardo remains. Johnny plants a bomb under the church altar, and then attends Sunday service. As the pastor begins his sermon, Johnny presses the button on the detonator.

This Is the President Launches Today, New Trailer Minsk, Belarus / Vienna, Austria, December 6th, 2021 – Today is the day. Time to take command and become the next President of the United States of America. For the greater good? More like, for your own good. Don't forget, you’ll need to get the 28th Amendment to the Constitution ratified, no matter the cost. To do so, you'll need to maintain a good approval rating, so you'll have to work on creating some popular policies. Maybe regulating those nasty video games to protect the children? Or create a legal framework on the harmonious coexistence of Man and Robot? How about running a campaign to increase the birthrate by encouraging the citizens to ... uhm, reproduce more? How you run the office is in your hands - but make sure the amendment gets ratified before your time in the Oval Office is up, or the next room where you'll spend time in will be neither oval nor an office.

With a history as a shady, rich, and ruthless businessman, you're under investigation by the FBI. They don't have proof yet, but eventually, they’ll dig something up. Being president grants you immunity and to keep it that way, you'll have to pass the 28th Amendment to the Constitution, granting you lifelong immunity! Manage your team of skilled professionals and make sure the amendment is passed - no matter the cost. How you spend your time in the Oval Office is up to you. Can the sinner become a sort-of-saint and make it look like he's actually a good president?
