The Karland Universe is the setting of the Zackulback and Laser Industries games. It is a shared universe that consists of the majority of imaginations and stories I created during my childhood. Essentially, almost everything that Karl created from 1997 to 2008 would fall into this setting.
Karland is the first ever shared universe I created. Starting near the turn of the millennium, it was originally represented primarily by a collection of drawings done with both pencil and Microsoft Paint as well as animated cartoons created with PowerPoint.

Canon
The Karland Universe did not have a strict continuity due to the ever shifting nature of my younger self’s imagination. However, in 2021, an effort was made to commit to organizing the games and stories into a more consistent timeline.
