Cheapest pre-order I can find on a game that looks remarkably like Zelda, yet has a far more immersive looking world, despite having a development budget that is only about 100 million times smaller in comparison. Also helps that the developer/publisher isn't charging la la prices like Nintendo.
Yonder is set on the massive island of Gemea, a lush frontier with eight distinct environments ranging from sunny tropical beaches to frigid snowcapped summits. Each location has its own flora and fauna, along with changing seasons and a day-night cycle. Gemea, once a paradise, still maintains the appearance of one, yet an evil murk has enshrouded the land and its people in despair.
The hero of Yonder will explore the island, uncovering its secrets and the mysteries within them self as they embarks on a journey of self-discovery, while saving Gemea and its people. On the quest to become the island's champion, he or she will join forces with natives and Sprites, ethereal creatures whom are the only thing capable of dispersing the murk.
Cheers Mixi... I thought the game might be of interest to you.

I'm a fan of indies (not as a gamer) and I do love supporting them. Especially for this which has been developed by a few people (think it was 3?). :smile:

It's preorder so obviously no reviews. It's not relying on combat. It's an open world crafting based type of game.

Seems a good price,concept is good but I think it looks like it will grow repetitive and boring without any combat.

Looks good, despite the poster's obvious Nintendo bias

You mean anti rip off bias, yeah? Thought that was the whole point of this site.
