Amarillo Productions

Amarillo Productions is a studio company founded on October 16, 2012 currently owned by Merrill Studios since May 25, 2020 after its former parent company Liza Amarillo LLC dissolved nearly five years after it was initially founded on June 26, 2015 to hold Amarillo Productions and other studios founded by Sunny Amarillo, and even made his niece Liza Amarillo sell her studio Liza Productions while she still controlled it on her own. Liza Productions was sold to Ahmonic Studios, which is a subsidiary of CCTV Productions since September 14, 2018.

Sunny had planned to sell his studios to Merrill Studios as early as at least December 2019. It was announced on March 7, 2020 in a blog post, which announced that he would be selling his companies because of financial issues and had not been able to make money since at least mid 2018. Liza also stated that she would have gotten her studio back if she could afford to run it, but due to not having enough funds at the time, she instead sold it to Ahmonic Studios. All assets except Liza Productions have been sold, with TV production companies sold to Merrill Studios and game productions to Ramworks Software. Signature Studios announced a bid to get the TV and game assets that same time, though got into a fight with both Merrill Studios and Ramworks Software, which both companies were already after the assets. Signature Studios lost the bid deal to Merrill Studios and Ramworks Software respectively.

Merrill Studios won the bid to Amarillo Productions, alongside Yellow Sun Productions and Sunny Day Productions against Signature Studios, which lost the bid to those two companies to its competitor. Amarillo Interactive and Dusk To Dawn Studios were both sold to Ramworks Software, which won the bid to those companies against Signature Studios, which also tried to buy the companies. Liza Productions was excluded from the deals which in turn was sold to Ahmonic Studios, which is a subsidiary of CCTV Productions, which in turn was founded by Kirti Mang, who also founded Ramworks Software.

The battle between Merrill Studios, Ramworks Software, and Signature Studios was also to blame for Kirti Mang's financial crisis, alongside Caltrose25V5 that attacked online multiplayer games between March 26, 2020 and May 3, 2020; California City Defense and California City Street Racers, both released by CCTV Productions under its interactive division. Because Kirti Mang runs both Ramworks Software and CCTV Productions as president, as well as being the sole person responsible for founding both companies, it has been clear that the financial crisis he had suffered from both companies (mostly CCTV Productions due to Caltrose25V5) had impacted both him and his companies, though in Ramworks Software's case it was due to them trying to buy the gaming assets from Liza Amarillo LLC. Between March 8, 2020 and May 23, 2020, Mang lost 46% of his net worth; 67% from CCTV and 33% from Ramworks.
