Ngenkathi kwethulwa u-Iván Ruiz Lozano I-Elementallis ku-Kickstarter, wayenethemba ngokuqapha ngokusekelwe emphakathini omncane ayewakhe eduze nesihloko ekuthuthukisweni. Kodwa i Zelda-Umdlalo wokuzidela ogqugquzelwe wathinta abalandeli, futhi umkhankaso waphetha ngentengo ephindwe kasithupha yentengo yokuqala. Izindaba zempumelelo ezifana nalezi zibonisa ukuthi kungani I-Kickstarter ngokushesha iba yingxenye ebalulekile yebhuku lokudlala lonjiniyela be-indie abanemiqondo ephoqayo.
U-Lozano ukhulume no-Game Rant mayelana nokuwina kwakhe okukhulu nokuthi kuzoyimisa kanjani intuthuko I-Elementallis. Isihloko singaphezu kwalokho incwadi yothando eya The Legend of Zelda, equkethe isistimu yomlingo eyingqayizivele, eyisisekelo abadlali okufanele bayisebenzise ekuxazululeni izindida, ukuvundla, kanye nokulwa. Futhi ngemali eyengeziwe, igeyimu izophinde ihlukanise kusukela kumthombo wayo ngokulandisa okuthuthukisiwe nezici zebhonasi zesimanje.

Akunandaba ukuthi kungakanani ukwesekwa komphakathi kanye ne-buzz unjiniyela angayithola kusenesikhathi, ayikho into efana nomkhankaso we-Kickstarter oqinisekile. Kwesinye isikhathi isisekelo sephrojekthi sisebenza ngokuqinile nabaxhasi, noma kunjalo, futhi amaphupho okuxhasa ngemali afezeka. Kwesinye isikhathi, Amaphrojekthi e-Kickstarter ahlangabezana nomgomo wawo ngokuphazima kweso, e Elementallis' icala, umdlalo ushaye inani elicelayo lama-euro ayi-18,000 esikhaleni samahora angama-24. U-Lozano ushaywe umoya yimpendulo evela kubasekeli.
“Bengicabanga ukuthi lo mkhankaso uzoxhaswa, mhlawumbe ngemali ethe xaxa kunaleyo ebesiyicelile (ngokusekelwe emphakathini ebesinawo ngaphambi kokuthi siqale umkhankaso), kodwa ngiphinde ngakhathazeka uma kwenzeka singafikanga lapho. Into ebesingayilindele wukuthola uxhaso… emahoreni angama-24 kuphela! Akugcinanga lapho, sithole ngokuphindwe ka-6 kunalokho ebesikucelile!"
Lapho imikhankaso ihlangabezana nenhloso yayo yoxhaso ngokushesha futhi iqala ukufutheka, kuba nesilingo sokuthembisa ngokweqile ngezinhloso ezinwetshiwe. Kodwa u-Lozano wahlala eqinile, ehlanganisa umkhankaso kwezinye izici eziyisikhombisa ezihlanganisa imodi yokujaha abaphathi, ithempeli elengeziwe, imodi ye-CRT, kanye isilungiselelo sobunzima esisha esiyinselele.
U-Lozano ujabulile ngokuba nakho isabelomali esikhulu ozosebenza ngaso, kodwa akakakukhohlwa okuwumongo okulethwayo: umdlalo ophelele, olethwe ngesikhathi. Ngenxa yalokho, ukunquma ukuthi unganwetshwa kuphi futhi kanjani emdlalweni ngaphandle kokwelula iqembu libe mncane kakhulu kuyinselele:
"Lokhu kuyakhohlisa, njengoba siyiqembu elincane kakhulu futhi asikwazi ukweqa kakhulu, asifuni ukulibazisa ukukhishwa. Izinto ezimbalwa zingenzeka ngenxa yempumelelo yeKickstarter: ukugxila kakhulu indaba nezilimi ezengeziwe."
Uma umkhankaso wokuqongelela imali ufinyelela isamba esithile, kungaba nzima ukugcina umbono. Kuyalinga ukuthatha izwe ngokwezici zohlu lwezifiso nokuqukethwe okwengeziwe, kodwa izifiso ezinjalo zingashisa onjiniyela, noma zibuyisele emuva kalula. Ngenkathi umphumela wokuphela wawuyisihloko se-stellar Metroidvania, i ukubambezeleka okuningi Igazi: Isiqalekiso seNyanga wahlupheka ngemuva kokuphothulwa kweKickstarter fika engqondweni.
Kodwa ukulandisa okunwetshiwe kanye nokuhumusha okwengeziwe kungukuthenga okuhlakaniphile. Ngeke nje bathuthukise ulwazi oluphelele lwegeyimu, futhi bayivulele izethameli ezibanzi, kodwa akufanele badinge umsebenzi omningi wohlelo noma ama-sprites engeziwe. Ngokufanayo, i- amagoli anwetshiwe angeziwe, njenge-bestiary engaphakathi kwegeyimu nezigcawu zokusika ubuciko be-pixel, izengezo ezifinyelelekayo ezingeke zidinge ukusetshenzwa kabusha okukhulu kwephrojekthi. U-Lozano uveze ukuthi uzophinde aqashe umbhali ozinikele ukuthi akhuphule ikhwalithi yokulandisa ngenkathi emvumela ukuthi agxile kweminye imisebenzi.

Ukuba nesabelomali esiphindwe kasithupha kusho ukuthi okulindelekile kuphindwe kasithupha, kodwa u-Lozano ubheke ngabomvu ukuthola impendulo evela kubasekeli. Ithimba elincane labathuthukisi abane manje selinebutho labahloli be-beta abanothando asebetshale imali empumelelweni yesihlokwana. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukusungula umphakathi wesihloko esincane kuzohamba ibanga elide ekukhiqizeni i-buzz ngaphambi kokwethulwa, kanye nezwi lomlomo ngemva kwalokho. Ukuphromotha nokupholisha sekulula kakhulu.
U-Lozano wakhungatheka ngempendulo, futhi wazwakalisa kaningi ukubonga ngabasekeli bakhe. Ukwesekwa kwabo ngeke kwenze umdlalo ube khona kuphela; izonika amandla inguqulo engcono kakhulu yomdlalo ukuthi yenziwe futhi.
