+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) I tried my hand at Bert's face as well as something looked off to me. I tried to make sure that the pixels still conformed to PF for the hair/face and the features don't overlap vertically for P0/P1. Changes: Eyebrows: More curved Mouth: Straighter on top Eyes: Closer together and moved up Ears: Lower down and smaller Nose: Moved up Chin: Made Shorter (could even be shorter?) - James Here's the altered Bert in 1:1 pixels: Edited August 21, 2020 by ZeroPage Homebrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 I fiddled around with the program some more. The eyes must stay as apart as they are now due to the playfield spacing. The eyes are that big to help cover up the holes Bert would have next to his eyes had they not been as big. Still, I made a few changes to the Bert head. It seems as though everyone has their own ideas of how to draw Bert. Personally, I think the bigger ears were an improvement, so they stayed in. But here's what Bert's face looks like now: I also moved the buttons used up a row since not many Kid's Controller games used the bottom row (I don't know why that is.) So now 4 is left and 6 is right and 7 is pick up box and 9 is drop box. bert23a.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Heya @atari2600land! Not sure if you caught the stream but the 4 button to move Bert left wasn't working on my console (RGB Modded Light Sixer). 6, 7 and 9 were all working great. I went back and checked my controller on Tap-A-Mole which uses all the buttons on the Kid's Controller/Keyboard Controller in both ports and all the buttons worked on that game on both of my controllers. I also tried my Keyboard Controller on Bert and the 4 didn't work either. Works perfectly fine in the emulator though. - James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Try this. I tested it on my Atari 2600 with my kids' controller and it works good. If it doesn't for you, I don't know what to tell you. bert24.bin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
