Our Final Hours Livestream was epic and amazing! We heard from backers around the world, were serenaded with a MASSIVE CHALICE song played on ukulele, talked game development with industry guest stars from Supergiant, Gaijin Games, 17-Bit Studios, and Firaxis, and received some fatherly advice from Brad’s dad, the one and only William J. Muir!
A few weeks ago the MASSIVE CHALICE team played the excellent XCOM: Enemy Unknown from Firaxis. Today they're going to turn the clock back to 1994 and dive into some X-COM: UFO Defense, with guest star JP LeBreton.
Come watch us get ravaged by the alien menace as we discuss the aspects of the original X-COM that have the most impact on MASSIVE CHALICE!
Brad, John and Ben Burbank turn their eyes to one of the other major inspirations for MASSIVE CHALICE: the amazing PS1 classic Final Fantasy Tactics from Square.
Watch part 2 here!
And watch part 3 here!
Brad and John play XCOM: Enemy Unknown! We’ll be talking about why XCOM is one of the key inspirations for MASSIVE CHALICE. We are also going to take plenty of questions from the chat about our current design direction. :D
Watch the second part here!
Early on in the Kickstarter the fine gentlemen of 2 Player Productions filmed an hour long design chat between Brad and John discussing the direction of MASSIVE CHALICE. If you missed that you can catch it here!
And here’s the audio link for the team roundtable if you’d rather listen to it!
Today we’ve got a new discussion featuring a couple more members of the Double Fine crew! Joining Brad and John are lead programmer Chad Dawson and concept artist Derek Brand.

And you’ve seen a ton of Derek’s art in our updates and on our livestreams, so now you can finally see him in the flesh! He’s real! We swear! :D Here are the major talking points:
