- HOLLYWOOD ANIMAL "How To Make a Quick Buck With a Shameless Sequel" - 7 March 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 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."

- Bloody Shirt - 1 November 2023
If 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 product…

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…

- Have You Played This Is The Police? - 12 September 2019
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. It’s just 180 days until Jack Boyd’s retirement in This is the Police . He’s the chief of police who has to juggle many balls and not drop one, otherwise everything goes horribly wrong. The mayor is breathing down his neck constantly, while his staff plead for time off to volunteer at the animal sanctuary, all the while the crooks are plaguing the city. (more…)
- This Is The Police spin-off Rebel Cops is law-enforcement XCOM - 6 September 2019
In This Is The Police , corruption was easy. Sitting pretty at the top, skewing your officer’s patrols to help funnel the right folk into the right jails and the proceeds into your pocket? That’s all in a day’s work, really. Someone like that needs taking down a peg. Enter, Rebel Cops . With nasties in the town hall and your squad waging a guerrilla war, it might sound like the sorta thing you’d scroll past on Netflix. But behind all that, Weappy’s newly-announced spin-off looks like it could bring an interesting twist to the tactics scene. (more…)
