BMO Gameboy Rom Animated Face

Animated BMO face for Gameboy.

WHAT IS IT:

   My fifth game, released on Itch.io, is an updated version of a cartridge I sell on Tindie. The original only had static faces, and this update brings animated faces (BMO blinks)... Oh, and I added some music (which needs a little work). There are 9 facial expressions, which can be set to static or animated, and 6 different colour palettes.

To scroll manually through the expressions, press left or right. 

Up changes the colour palette, and down resets the color palette to default.

WHY I MADE THIS:

   The original cart was made so people could have a BMO face as their Game Boy screen to show off and for display purposes. I made this update because, as I have been spending more time developing projects for the Game Boy, it dawned on me that my original BMO could be extended with animation. 

FUTURE REVISIONS:

At the moment, BMO blinks every few seconds, but I may come back to this in the future and add more facial animations and expressions. Also, I needed to work on some music glitches. I think it would be fun to have BMO scroll through all the animations automatically to make him feel more automated. At the moment, you must manually change BMO's emotion. I began to add different colour pallets to the faces, which you can change by pressing down on the d-pad, but I don't think they add anything and so I abandoned adding more.

I have just about finished this to do list. Although the music still annoys me, it's very bassy in places and rattles my speaker. I would still like to add some more faces in the future and tidy up one or two of the animations. There are two in particular I tried to make very smooth by adding a few more animation steps and they look a little out of place. If anyone finds any glitches please let me know and I will fix them.

   Once again, thank you to everyone who takes a look at this page; every visit means so much to me. If you like my work and would like to support me, please think about buying the ROM for $1. If you are interested in buying the updated physical cart, they are available  here.
