Welcome to my website!
I’m sure you have a million questions.
“What is Zclipse Dev?”
“Who is that handsome fellow pictured above?”
“What is this website for?”
Those are some very good questions!
Zclipse Dev is derived from two things- my moniker that I ship my games by and dev-elopment, specifically video game development. The name “Zclipse” was very creatively born by combining the word “eclipse” with the letter “Z,” as I like zombie video games.
Oh, and I’m the guy pictured above- Brian Michael. I’m a student at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, majoring in Media Arts and Game Development and minoring in Computer Science. My favorite game series of all time is Call of Duty Zombies. Specifically zombies. I love indie music, and I’ve been trying to learn how to make music as well. Whenever I’m not talking to someone, you can bet I have my Airpods in.
This website exists for several reasons, one of which is a place to house my portfolio. Imagine that you are an employer (unless, you are an employer- then hello!) and you ask to see my portfolio. I’d then gladly direct you to zclipsedev.com, where you can find it. Boom, starting off strong with a custom domain. And- what’s this? This guy has more than a portfolio on this website? Wait- it can’t be… a contact form!?!?
Additionally, I’ve always wanted to start a devlog on YouTube. Alas, my very busy schedule of game development and Fortnite does not permit such activities. The next best thing, of course, is to have a blog. And here we are. “Devblog.”
Thanks for stopping by. If you’re bored, feel free to check out some of my recent posts.

Pathfinding
In the Twitch Dungeon Game (which still needs a name, by the way), the player enters 18×10 tiled rooms. These rooms contain enemies, and these enemies’ need to move in a couple certain ways: Let’s start with the melee enemies. Just make them move in the direction of the player’s position, right? Eh, it’s more…

What is the Twitch Dungeon Game?
Software Engineering. The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater’s computer science capstone class. I’ve heard whispers of it since my freshman year, whispers of excitement, frustration- pretty much every emotion you can think of. Let me break it down for you: the semester starts with some lecture-based classes about project management. However, within a couple weeks, the group…
