This website

Druidcdp.net hosts creative works made for fun by Jonathan "CD" Panepinto (also known by his online personas "Druid" and "Stopusingdruid"). Examples include "ZERO", "Paper Launcher", and "Offline Repo Loader".

Why?

I enjoy programming, graphic design, and animation very much. I drew a lot of inspiration from the Huang twins (CaryKH, Fernozzle, and Jacknjellify), Alan Becker, Neal Agarwal, Toby Fox, and my friend Doca (aka YouOrMeDraw), just to name a few. If I listed all of them, this page would be over 600 words long. I don't exactly have a reason for making things other than pure passion. I don't care much about attention, but support is always nice. :D

History

I started making things on the internet when I was about 8 years old. Everything originally stemmed from Minecraft. If that block game didn't exist, this website wouldn't exist either!

I was fascinated by the adventure map "Asleep" and its sequel. I remember watching PopularMMOs play it over and over. Eventually, I got the game, and the first thing I did was install and play the map (yes, this was on PC).

It still hasn't gotten old. That map inspired me to start making my own Minecraft maps! I learnt how to use command blocks, loaded up a creative world, and got to work. Admittedly, most (if not all) of those maps were terrible. Only one ever got published, and that wasn't until at least a year or two later.

Regardless, I kept experimenting with other mediums, going from art and animation in MS Paint, to programming in Scratch, then in VS Code. Eventually, I convinced my parents to get me a copy of Adobe Animate, which was obviously a big step up from MS Paint.

I wanted to try learning the software myself, so with practice and some help from my friend YouOrMeDraw, I learnt to animate and went on to make loads of cool stuff!

Fun Facts

• ZERO's first episode has gone through three scripts and has technically been in development for over two years. It originally had five scrapped characters. Inky was the first character created, and her voice and appearance changed very little between the earliest plans and the finished episode.
• I tried using Flash 8 a couple of years after getting Animate, and I hated it.
• Goodie Bags are released occasionally and contain behind-the-scenes content.
• I learnt command blocks before I learnt a proper programming language.
• There are no secrets on this page.
