Team Circadia Testing Application

This form will be opened periodically when we at Team Circadia are interested in adding more members to our testing team for Mega Man Shattered Diamond. If you're applying, please allow about 15-25 minutes to answer the entire form to the best of your ability. If you are accepted as a tester, you will be contacted via Discord.

Team Circadia is now accepting tester applications!

We’re opening alpha tester applications to the public for the first time. We’ll be periodically opening applications when we want to expand our testing team.

In order to be able to test, you’ll need to have a computer running Windows 7 or later, as well as access to Discord and Dropbox. We’re looking for testers that have varied experience levels with classic Mega Man, so feel free to share this with people who may have never even played a Mega Man game before!

Allow about 15-25 minutes to fill out the form. Answer each question to the best of your ability, and good luck to anyone interested!

Applications are now closed! Thank you for interest!

Applications are now open again until Monday, February 10th. We are accepting a whole FOUR new testers to the testing team. If you’re interested, then please don’t hesitate to apply!

[mmsdgame]

We have a Twitter account! (Again.)

Pixel Artist Application - Team Circadia

This form is for anyone interested in the pixel art position open on Team Circadia, the team currently developing Mega Man Shattered Diamond. Please allow about 20 minutes to complete the entire form. This Google Form is the FIRST PHASE of the application process. If your initial application is accepted, you will be contacted via Discord with further instructions.

So recently, MMSD has lost a couple more artists, but the game development must continue. We've begun designing the fortress stages and we're still behind on completing art assets for the Robot Master stages, so we're reopening art applications again.

Applications will remain open until January 11, 2019. This is a 2-stage process (the second stage involves spriting some assets for us in the SD style), and we're keeping applications open for this long in order to hopefully attract a large number of potential volunteers.

Requirements for being on the team include having a Dropbox, Discord, and Google account. You can see more information on the form linked above.

We hope everyone gives it a chance, it is very important to the project that we get more assistance in the art department.

The next dev vlog for MMSD is finally here, after 2 weeks of procrastination! In this video we see Breeze Man's stage and Bass' debut in one of these dev vlogs. Enjoy!

[mmsdgame]

Soon.

Finally, Bass's sprites are in the game and he's ready to be shown off. Anyone who's played Mega Man 10 should be quite familiar with how he controls in SD, as his abilities are taken directly from that game. While can no longer double jump, he can still dash jump and knock the shields off of specific enemies like in Mega Man 10. Look forward to seeing more of Bass in action in the future!

EDIT: https://i.imgur.com/Jeu1wdC.gifv - External link to the gif since it seems to be broken.

Here's the 7th weapon implemented for the game, Ember Twirl. While using it, you can't stop, but your movement speed is increased, allowing you to move quickly through stages. Also shown in this GIF are enemy weaknesses. Ember Twirl normally does 3 damage to enemies, but will do one extra point of damage to enemies found in Jungle Man's stage. Every enemy (except Metools) has a specific weapon weakness, so be sure to look out for them while playing!

A look at the victory sequence!

(Yes, Mega Man will fight back on the weapon get screen eventually.)
