Chex Quest was based on the engine of Doom. The engine could be officially licensed thanks to the game technically not making a profit of its own as a free game, only profit for the food company General Mills, and the release of Quake rendering the old Doom engine obsolete.

The Chex Warrior in Chex Quest's original design was an anthropomorphic Chex rather than a humanoid in Chex armor - this was redesigned for looking too close to the M&M's mascots. The final design was influenced by Buzz Lightyear, as Toy Story had come out one year prior.
