“Planted the Industry” — Cheedaman's bio.
|
Cheedaman, also known as Cheed, Jack, or by his Scratch alias, Whitey999, is a British Roblox developer that has been on the platform since March 26th, 2013, developing Roblox experiences as the years progress. Cheedaman is known for creating the BEAR franchise, most notably, he is known for creating games BEAR (Alpha) and BEAR*.
Biography
Early Life
Cheedaman was born on August 3rd, 2003 in the United Kingdom. Cheedaman had just gotten his first teddy bear created by The Bear Factory as a gift from an unknown person. That very own teddy bear would later become the main character featured throughout the BEAR franchise, Bear.
Scratch
Cheedaman kickstarted his game development career using Scratch, by making an account named Whitey999 in July 2013, and then started to make games and animations surrounding his own made-up characters. In most of the animations listed on his profile, Bear and Whitey were the main protagonists featured among his projects, which both characters would later become prominent throughout the BEAR franchise.
Early Games
Cheedaman created a Roblox account in 2013, where he advertised it in a dedicated Scratch project, where he continued to work on projects on the platform. Around July 2014, access to his Scratch account was lost, as Cheedaman became more ambitious towards his own Roblox projects, such as Thomas Racing.
BEAR
In 2018, Cheedaman updated an old game from 2015 which would later become BEAR (Alpha)'s prototype. Then, on May 21st, 2019, Cheedaman created and published BEAR (Alpha), the most successful game he has made, and of the BEAR franchise. With the success of the first game, Cheedaman went on to make a sequel game in 2020, BEAR*. However, BEAR (Alpha) and BEAR* are set in different universes, meaning they each have a different lore and a different underlying story.
BEAR*'s Conclusion • SKENGINES
On September 8th, 2023, Cheedaman announced the discontinuation of BEAR*, which occured in 2024. Although BEAR (Alpha) is still being worked on, Cheedaman has since created another game, unrelated to BEAR, titled, SKENGINES.
SKENGINES' Conclusion • PSN!
On April 13th, 2024, Cheedaman announced the final SKENGINES update, PORTLANTIC. The update is regarded as the last update that felt like a sign-off to SKENGINES, and would also be the one that would eventually lead the game to it’s demise. Cheedaman would continue to fix bugs alongside working on other projects until late August, where he would officially conclude SKENGINES altogether. After SKENGINES' eventual downfall, Cheedaman mainly focused on other projects of his, such as his mercenary group, Personalized Studio Name, and other future BEAR projects.
BEAR (Alpha)'s Comeback • New Games
On August 2nd, 2024, Cheedaman announced the Weekly Updates 2024 for BEAR (Alpha), the games largest update since Halloween 2023, implying a return to BEAR (Alpha) and frequent updates. Cheedaman then announced a year later, that he is working on a new game to the BEAR franchise, alongside a new developer, which would eventually lead into BEAR TOWER DEFENSE's official announcement.
The Future
When asked, Cheedaman has spoken about his future role in the BEAR franchise and how he 'will become less of developing one game at a time and more so being a puppetmaster for a library of games", meaning the BEAR franchise's future will forever live on.
