Who is CGNDC

CGNDC (born 2001) is a Filipino game developer and programmer. He was born and raised in the Philippines and first learned programming at the age of 10 through game development using GameMaker 8.1. Throughout his early years, CGNDC developed several games, though none were published or archived. They were primarily personal projects that were never completed or shared publicly.

In March 2022, CGNDC released his first publicly available game, 001 Earth. The game's development was slow, as CGNDC was a first-year student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at the time. Prior to college, CGNDC had little focus on programming, as, like many children, he spent most of his time playing video games. His extensive experience with video games later served as inspiration for the mechanics in 001 Earth, where he sought to implement features he believed could improve other games. However, due to the demands of his academic life, development of 001 Earth experienced limited progress.
