Double Fine ventures back to Kickstarter to help fund Massive Chalice

Before Kickstarter was a viable funding operation for game developers, Double Fine decided to take a risk, and ask regular people, like you and me, to help fund their newest adventure title, without really showing off what it is. Turns out, people were willing to give a lot of money to Double Fine. Even though they asked for $400,000, the Kickstarter raised over $3 million.

It's no surprise then, given their massive success, that Double Fine would once again return to Kickstarter, and pitch us their new game, Massive Chalice. This new game will be a strategy/tactics hybrid, blending elements from X-Com, Final Fantasy Tactics, and even Fire Emblem.

Players will assume the role of an immortal King, who must defend his kingdom against a demonic invasion that's prophesized to last hundreds of years. The game will utilize the bloodline mechanic, allowing players to create generations of warriors.

Some of the other core game mechanics include:
