The same gnomes, but with everything else improved!

Discover many different environments, interact with almost all the objects in the environment, find all the achievements, listen to the ambiance music, watch the parallax comics. There is so much to do!
Important note: The update that was announced earlier 'that I would update the existing Find the Gnome game', is not accurate anymore. Long story short: the upgrade became too different from the existing one, so a new store page is only fitting for such a nice new game.
[ 2022-02-09 11:57:02 CET ] [ Original post ] Massive update incomingMy games receive love, tender and care even after a long time. That is why I am putting time and effort in updating this game, instead of releasing a new one.
Find the Gnome is getting a massive overhaul that will address all the issues with the 'old' version, and will massively improve the game-play.
- Keep the good. Click, interact, look carefully, spot the gnomes you need to catch.
- However, now with more diverse gameplay. Some gnomes walk around, other gnomes hide in objects that you can interact with. You have to interact with the environment to 'open up' the level. Complete objectives and find hidden secrets.
- And visual consistency. Fully hand modeled by me in the low poly artistic style.
- And Improved sounds and music. With ambient music to accompany you during your play-through.
- And a free moving camera, as requested.
- And more diverse content. The first version will ship with 3 unique levels with already more content then the 'old' version had. More levels will be added in the coming months with each update also adding more to find in the earlier released levels.
The game currently is in beta testing. This is beta for the version that will release in approximately 8 weeks.
That's it for now folks!
[ 2021-05-17 19:37:52 CET ] [ Original post ] Complete overhaul comming?!I am currently working on a new title. However as you might have noticed my art skills aren't that great. the current installment of 'Find the Gnome' does show this of nicely (pun intended). So I need to put in the hours to get my art skills to a higher level.
As a practice I will be working on 'Find the Gnome':
- Give it improved visuals: A full low poly look (thus improved asthetics and consistency).
- Do a complete overhaul of the gameplay: It will be all about finding gnomes. So no story but instead interesting things like gnomes hiding in items and giving away visual clues and you needing to spot them. Also the catching of the gnomes will be changed: they will be hauled away by a steampunk drone with limited capacity to give a natural limit to the amount of gnomes you can catch per second (instead of the fear mechanic).
- It will have a rotating camera (as requested)
For a peek at the improved visuals see my latest blog post

And on the new title: This will be a sci-fi themed meshup of the RPG/4X/strategy genres. To follow you can get on

Thanks for the read!
I'm looking forward to hear from you.
[ 2020-11-25 22:05:29 CET ] [ Original post ] v1.0.2Here it is. The first update on the gameplay.
In short:
- More actions by gnomes in front of the camera

I'm aware of the confusing gameplay some of you are experiencing. I hope to address it with this update and the upcoming updates.

[ 2018-06-08 22:45:12 CET ] [ Original post ] v0.3.0On March the 18th 2018, Beta version 0.3.0 did release.

[ 2018-03-27 11:45:14 CET ] [ Original post ] This is a top-down 3D hidden object game where you need to find all the garden gnomes.
These gnomes don't like it to be found. They will interact with you once you track them!
It is a child-friendly game that is fun to play for them or together with their parents/grandparents.
(And it is a known secret those parents do love to catch a gnome themselves some time...)
What to expect:
- 2 gamemodes: story and time trial
- 2 completely different scenes
- 13 levels with increasing difficulty
- Track progress and unlock levels
- Compete against the clock or other players with the time trial mode
- Slick mouse and keyboard controls
