I recently started a new Youtube channel where I'll be uploading programming and game dev tutorials and maybe art related stuff. If you have any suggestions for what I could make tutorials on let me know! Hopefully this tutorial can be helpful to those starting out with Game Maker Studio 2 :)

It's been awhile since I've made a blog post. This is less of an update post and more of behind the scenes kind of post I felt like making because there's lots of cool concept stuff I want to share that I can't put on the portal. Before that though I want to Thank everyone for such a great response to Pico Untamed. Words cannot describe how grateful I am that over 17k people played it, that it won 5th place for Pico Day, and was one of the winners on Best of May. It's seriously a huge privilege to me and every bit of support I see whether that be on Newgrounds or playthroughs uploaded on Youtube seriously make my day. Thank you again.
Now with that out the way, lemme show off some cool concept art!
This is Commander Fleet, the first boss you encounter in the game. He is the heir to a rich family with ties to militia and acts as a arms dealer. Before the events of the game he helps Conquest, the third boss and one of the main antagonists, stockpile weapons to aid him and Cassandra's plan of world domination.
This is Atomica, the second boss of the game. She works for Conquest under the false impression that her cybernetic tech is for an internship. You can see some of the things she has made throughout the game via the blueprints in the background and the objects like Fleet's Arm-Gun, and Cassandra's cybernetic enhancements. There was going to be an additional phase in her boss where you had to fight a robot she created called Infernal. Ultimately it was not included in the final game due to time constraints.
This is Conquest, the third boss of the game, and the orchestrator behind the events of the story. He is a wielder of dark magic and a loyal friend to Cassandra. Motivated to take revenge on Pico for killing his friend, he kidnaps Pico's friends to bait him into making an attempt to rescue them at his prison assuming that he would be killed by one of the guards or Fleet.
For those who are not aware, there are multiple endings you can get in Pico Untamed. The bad/normal ending of the game was going to play out differently than the final version. I wrote the narrative of Pico Untamed with the intention that it could act as a "sequel" or spin-off somewhat to Pico's School and one of the ways that was going to be conveyed was through this ending. It was going to be connected to Pico vs Bear and kind of set up how Pico met the Commissioner. I scrapped it last second because I felt very anxious about the plot and that i might have taken too many risks already with the writing.
Welp, I have a lot more concept art but I don't want to clutter this whole blog post with them lol. If you made it to the end of this dump I hope you found some of this stuff interesting.
