Michael primarily creates animations involving unique characters, though he also dabbles in game development. His first animation, Slush Invaders, involved stick figure characters with superpowers all modeled after Michael's real life university friends. He created many short animations with these characters, as well as a few flash games. 
He is also well known for winning the 2017 Twitch Animation Contest with his animated short Invincibility Knight. He also started development on a visual novel rhythm game known as Falcomaster3000 based on the game Super Smash Bros, but it was cancelled. As a part of the Hyun's Dojo community, he has also participated in many of its collabs, such as the Christmas Tree Collab and the Homerun Contest Collab. 
=== Gildedguy Stories ===
Michael's avatar, also named Gildedguy, was born in the Slush Invaders flash game. Michael was deeply interested in an online community involving stick figure battles known as RHG, where two animators would draw their own stick figure characters battling each other. Although Gildedguy was never officially an RHG combatant, Michael used the character to battle other animators many times regardless in an ongoing series of animations known as Gildedguy Stories.
The first story was a speedbattle done in only 24 hours versus Hamen's RHG character Fry. Every Gildedguy story since has been full animations. Stories 2, 4, 6, and 7 were the same battles against RHG, and later Dojo Duels, characters, including Jade by Camila Cuevas, Bog by acbeam, Oxob by Oxob3000, Andre by Stone, and Arzon by HanifAnims. Stories 3 and 5 weren't battle focused and didn't feature other animator's characters, instead focusing on more original characters made by Michael himself.
As time has gone on, Michael has gotten more and more people to work with him on his animations, with help from other members of the community like Rebonkulous, SugarRatio, Irascor, SoapyBubbles, BoksKat, Sareth, Oxob3000, and more.
