About

This is an OOC page discussing the meta information of Zombolini: Apocalypse Now.

This website is a host of the metafictional project Zombolini: Apocalypse Now. The project itself is based on 2000s cartoons and is heavily influenced by various media that has had rough production, developmental hell, and cancelation. It also touches on the themes of "everything will be okay in the end", in both the cartoon and the crew.

In its current state, both the project and lore site are very incomplete and will gain information as time goes on. While most will be eventually changed out for real links, some of the red links seen will be permanent. They are not clickable and are meant to emulate wikis with broken links galore.

Credits & Inspiration

Credits

This website would not be possible without the following:

• squid's -pedia HTML/CSS. I fried my brain trying to reverse-engineer existing wiki-based sites, so their template was a huge help.
• Finished assets are by myself, Udachox, unless stated otherwise.
• Placeholder images are from Place Kitten.

Inspiration

This project is an amalgamation of media that has shaped me as a person along with my own life experience and passions. I've always loved cartoons and the setting that Zombolini takes place in reminiscent of where I grew up. Anyway, here's the inspiration list:

• Steven Universe, The Owl House, and Adventure Time are the top-three inspirations. Each have had issues with LGBT representation, are episodic cartoons that gradually get more serialized, and tackle darker topics that push their Y7 ratings.
• Additional inspiration for these can be found in Gravity Falls, The Legend of Korra, and even Final Fantasy XV.
• The general era of 2000s American cartoons for their visual style and how dark they were compared to many kids' cartoons that aired in the 2010s. Invader Zim is an especially prominent inspiration due to its cancelation and popularity it gained afterwards.
• Omori's prominent sentiment of "everything will be okay" permeates throughout this project. While the theme of "everything will be okay in the end" came about from my own life experience and people I know personally, this is definitely heightened due to its prominence within Omori.
• Coincidentally, Omori and Zombolini have other similarities, such as the main cast consisting of five or so characters, the main character running away from their past mistakes, and the general setting. None of these are directly inspired by Omori but this could be seen as a subconscious influence.
• Metafictional projects such as Oneirosea and Cthonichronica. Seeing these projects in DSA is what made me realize how much fun a metafictional project could be, as well as that it's exactly what I've been missing when it came to my own stuff.
• The prevelance of post-apocalyptic media in the 2010s. While I don't have any specific inspiration from these, media such as The Walking Dead and The Last of Us immediately come to mind.
