History

2014–16: Early years

[edit]

The KreekCraft channel was created on April 9, 2014,[2] after a previous channel which was deleted.[8] His first video was uploaded the next day, which was on Minecraft, showcasing a modification about cardboard boxes.[10]

2016–present: Roblox

[edit]

Waldron first played Roblox in 2015 after many requests from fans.[7][11][12] His first Roblox video was a gameplay of Phantom Forces.[13] He continued to upload Minecraft videos, but would now upload Roblox videos as well. After the release of Jailbreak, Waldron slowly transitioned into mainly uploading Roblox videos.[14]

Waldron grew in popularity in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.[15] Around that time, Piggy was released, and Waldron started to play it over Jailbreak.[16]

Due to creative differences between myself and Misfits, as well as some of my own projects that I want to pursue, I made the difficult decision to leave Pixel Playground and Misfits. This decision was made official as of mid-July, but I had to finish a few contractual obligations first. I want to thank everyone, especially Karl, who helped make my experience with Pixel Playground something I'll never forget. I’m looking forward to working with Karl on more stuff together. 🙏❤️

In March 2023, Misfits Gaming announced that Waldron joined the organization as creative director and co-founder of a new Roblox-based game development studio called Pixel Playground, alongside streamer Karl Jacobs. They launched their first Roblox game called Gameshow in August 2023.[19] But on September 30, 2024, KreekCraft announced he would be parting ways with Mitsfits and Pixel Playground on a post.

Collaboration with Dhar Mann

[edit]

In January 2023, Dhar Mann posted a tweet on X (formerly Twitter) about making a collaborative video, asking people who they would want to see him collaborate with.[20] Many people requested KreekCraft. KreekCraft accepted the collaboration and the video was published in May 2023.[21]
