The Ghoul's Forest / Re: New Ghoul, Crackels! Custom made by me ENTIRELY! :)

"A long block of text which half of us probably did not read"... Another suggestion, don't put that down unless it's because the person put down unreadable gibberish. I put down that text as criticism for you to learn off of, not for you to quote me in a way which can sound disrespectful to others. Trust me, while I know better, others take this offense much harder and will slander you for it.

Anyway... Yes, I know you can do better as shown from your access denied mod. However, if you think you are improving which does not seem like improving to others, there are many different ways to improve. I'm not putting this criticism down just for the ghouls, but anything you make in particular. Apply it to everything else on out if you find it useful, but don't just blow it off or you may only hurt yourself. I doubt you will have, because I have faith in you.
Improving in the same style which people find not working for someone, yet they continue to do so anyway, will sow seeds of doubt because the person who has yet to improve refuses to do it any other way. Consider learning through alternative methods, explore other people's wads (except for the crappy ghoul's forest 4 fanmade edition, he just copy/pasted a shitload of trees and ripped a bunch of ghouls off, AND failed to put spawning variety) and even go outside the box. Look at other action wads that have enemy replacements.
The criticism I gave earlier was also based around only trying to help you, mate. Again, just keep your head up. If you don't want to work on the ghoul or something, then just keep the criticism in mind for everything else you make so you know just what to avoid and what will be awesome. While I am quite busy, you should understand that I am quite capable of taking criticism while under heavy pressure, because it CAN help me learn how to take a load off my shoulders. Sure it's risky during those times but then I can move faster and get it done sooner, so then I can relax and enjoy the fruits of my labor.
You're a promising person dude. Its just sometimes it will benefit you if you read the valid arguments, acknowledge that you read them and understand what we are trying to get at, and then you can put down your reasoning. Like my dad used to say, "Shut up and listen, THEN you can argue."
And yes, I know I sound like an English professor or a history instructor that most would blow off, but it's how I get the pointers across to some folks who are in need of the most core-driving changes which will help make their fruits better.
