With previously released games Rebel Cops and This Is The Police under their belt, video game developer Weappy is diving into the world of Hollywood.

Announced on Wednesday, Hollywood Animal is a Hollywood management game allowing the player to run their own successful movie studio in the late 1920s and guide it through decades in the business. An announcement trailer can be seen below.

A synopsis for Hollywood Animal reads:

Build exactly the studio you want. Make it a multi-billion-dollar monster, or a trash factory that challenges "good taste" at every opportunity. Do whatever you like, if you can keep the whole thing afloat. This game doesn't tell you how to play or limit you in anything.

Of course, the film industry is just one part of a much larger world. Wars and social upheaval, censorship and corruption, strained relations with the government and criminal disputes. Make your moves behind the scenes, form unexpected alliances, lie and betray.

Any approach is good – we are, after all, only animals. You can stick to the law – or stay on the authorities' 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.

Hollywood Animal can be wishlisted on Steam here.
