Double Fine’s Massive Chalice Kickstarter Exceeds Goal
Last month Double Fine announced another Kickstarter, something completely separate from the adventure game, Broken Age. Massive Chalice, a tactical strategy PC game in the vein of Final Fantasy Tactics, and it looks like gamers want it because the campaign has overflowed with support.
The initial goal of Massive Chalice was $725,000. The Kickstarter campaign topped out at $1,229,015 with 31,774 backers when the countdown ended today at 4:00 pm central. Double Fine posted no stretch goals for Massive Chalice, but says there will be “ongoing conversations with the community as new features are considered…”
The next step is for project lead Brad Muir, creator of Iron Brigade (formerly titled Trenched), to guide his team at Double Fine into development.
"If I can get sappy for a moment I’d like to thank each and every one of you for believing in Double Fine," says Muir. "Tim [Schafer] has created a wonderful, crazy place where anyone can get a chance to bring their ideas for games to life. I never dreamed that I would be here, pitching a new game directly to gamers. The faith and trust that you guys have shown in us is completely overwhelming. You’re amazing. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to make another video game."
While we wait for the imaginative studio to work on the game, why not check out the extensive developer round table below?

For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
