@Mr Fab, Indeed it's really gnoming time! And you are definitely part of the Gnome Rescue Team now!
Well done and thank you for playing this crazy map

I like the part where the gnome says "IT'S GNOMING TIME !" and then he gnomified all over the place

Hey! Thank you for playing @godofanything139 !
It seems that you made it to the challenge as well Well done!
Don't worry for the gnomification, it's painless...

This map has made me wonder how horrible it would be to be Gnomified.

Good job!
I don't gnome the answer to your question but I guess you have been exploring a lot :D
You are in the list of the Gnome Savers now!

What makes retrieving gnomified gnomes a full time job? Nice test!

Yeah, retrieving gnomes is a full-time job! :p

Waaaaait. Only three ppl found the gnomes? Also I used noclip to find the second gnome, then went back without noclip to make sure u could get him with out it....

@Atlas, If I remember well, even if you fall there you can quickly swim to the near coast without dying, it's very close :)

I have a crippling fear of being submerged in water and I'm disappointed I don't have any of the footage of me fighting for my life trying on the light bridge trying not to fall in the water lmaooooo

Hi Atlas! Thanks a lot for playing and commenting!
If you observe the behaviour of the light bridge, you'll see that it disappears only when the ball is back in the pipe. So you can get the ball by using the light bridge, when you grab the ball, the bridge will stay under your feet. You may need several tries but... just take the risk :)
For the missing baywatchers, one is hidden on the sandy island, the other is lost on the rock island. Good luck!

I couldn't figure out how to get the ball whilst it was bobbing in the air, and I couldn't figure out where the two baywatchers were. But it absolutely didn't remove from my opinions on this; those opinions all being super positive!

C0d3, Nope! the Boss is on the sandy island where you arrived; he has a green beard. Use him and he'll say "I'm the Boss here".
A little of the back story: The King on the rock island is an usurper; the real King is prisoner in chains, you have to deliver him to go on. You might find that (and more) while playing the game :)

jp. is the boss the king guy?

Hi COd3 ! Well done :D
The second gnome, was at the beginning on a rock, looking at the island.
You can bring it back there...
Regarding the boss, he should be where you left it.

gnomified. where do i put the second gnome, and where is the boss?

@ThatAlienBoi You don't need to use noclip to find him, You can swim on surface just enough time to get there :)
Congratulations for finding both of them!

I finally found the second gnome! To be honest the only reason i found it so late is because I tried to get him without using noclip for a long time but i finally tried doing it with noclip.
The map also said to incude the word "Gnomified" in the comment but I'm not creative enough to do that. : )

@Balonik, Thank you for trying! Well done

Found both of them! Very good map, great fun. Thanks!

Good job! there are 2 to be found; one is lost far away from his place, the other is hiding to be left alone after work :D

I found a secret gnome

@pudovvoloda, Thank you for trying this crazy map!

+cool

Oui c'est exactement ce que je voulais faire : une aventure rigolote :D mais avec un peu de réflexion tout de même.
La texture de l'eau n'a normalement pas de damier; c'est qu'il manque une texture de détail...
Merci d'avoir testé cette map non conventionnelle!

J'ai bien aimé cette map, plutôt un jeu d'aventure. C'est très bien fait et je sais que cela à demandé beaucoup de travail. C'est quoi cette texture de l'eau avec des petits carrés, c'est voulu ?

UPDATED : The annoying slippery ladder is now easy to climb!

@kelsiegraces, Do you mean entering the cave or passing the enigma?
For the cave there is a button to open the door after the ladder.
For the enigma you need to get the correct sentence, to pass the guard.

i literally can not get into that room after i actually manage to get off of the freaking ladder

@Narko I don't gnome what you have played but I'm glad you had fun ! :D

What did I just played? Haha!
Very original, thanks!!

Thank you Winnie! I see the one you mean; this gnome is a little bit shy: he is always hiding in the sand! (this gives me the idea to add a quote for this one saying something like : "don't disturb me please." ... or if you have another idea let me know... :D

For the ladder, just walking onto it (no jump) should bring you up and then jumping once toward the cliff should bring you on the log. It was not the idea to make it difficult there but sometimes the Source engine has strange behaviours... I will try to fix that.

Thanx for playing!

Thank you Jan :) Glad you enjoyed it!

very unique and creative game.

Very nice and touching adventure. I started the map 3-4 times and each time a separately lying gnome next to a lifebuoy fell into the sand and disappeared when I took him. To take a step from a ladder to a log takes me 10-15 attempts. Anyway it is a great work! Thank you for creating it!

@ZuNami911 & just plain Steward, Thanks a lot for playing, glad that you like it !

Oui. Le damier est de la couleur de l'eau (pas magenta/noir) et juste sous la surface.

Il manque peut-être un détail de texture; c'est différent de ce que tu vois sur les images?

Il m'avais semblé avoir essayé de tout brûler !
Ouf, terminé. Pas facile d'attraper la boule .
Je vois un fin damier dans l'eau, est-ce normal ?

@Colibri Suis les instructions du Roi (le vrai) :)
Il faut bruler les cordes de la boule

Très créatif !
Mais je suis coincé dans la grotte ; il faut ouvrir la grille (image 7), j'ai un nain-torche qui s'est décroché du mur, mais quoi faire avec...

that was fun

I need more!!!!!

Cool! I did know that there are two of the bay watchers missing and tried looking for both but ended up finding only one. I will probably be trying to find the other missing bay watcher again soon. : )

@ThatAlienBoi Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it :)
For the inspiration, I just found this gnome caracter and built the whole story around it :)
For the missing bay watchers, actually 2 of them are to be found!

I found the missing bay watcher!
He's hiding in the chest!

Wow i enjoyed this more than i thought i would and i did infact think that i would enjoy it alot.
What was your inspiration behind this beautifull piece of art?

C'est vraiment bien fait. Pour l'instant je l'ai exploré avec noclip. Je verrais comment les autres joueurs réagissent.
