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.

Factory
Today, the first prototype for Sky Die was due. We had several goals for it: We were able to get most of these in the prototype. Some of the missed ones included all four characters (missing one character asset), the factory stage being “finished” (missing a trap asset), and some sound effects. I’m really proud…

Lord of the Skies
I’ve never read Lord of the Flies but I hear about it a lot. Apparently (Wikipedia says), it’s about a group of boys stranded on an island and their failed attempts to govern themselves. Wikipedia also adds that “the novel’s themes include morality, leadership, and the tension between civility and chaos.” I mentioned in a…
