Factory Policy Update

Hollywood Animal · published 20 Nov 2025, 14:54 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

A new update is rolling out now, bringing more depth to the gritty world of Hollywood Animal. We're introducing the Factory Policy, which is all about predictability, steady profit, and producing precisely the kind of films your audience is waiting for. If you’ve ever dreamed of running a studio that treats filmmaking like a finely tuned assembly line — this is your moment!

Alongside new content, this update includes a list of fixes and improvements:

  • Fixed a bug which prevented scripts from being deleted.

  • Fixed a bug which allowed you to purchase a technology that was about to become obsolete.

  • Fixed an issue which allowed the Film School to train your talents while they were away at war.

  • Fixed an issue which allowed the mafia to kill characters involved in active quests.

  • Fixed an issue which caused writers to freeze indefinitely when demolishing the Script Department.

  • Reduced the cost of legal protection.

  • Minor improvements to the sequel system and Pollux algorithms.

  • Some new sound effects.

  • Some UI fixes.

As always, thank you for your incredible support and feedback. It's what makes these updates possible.
