There's no guarantee I'd actually do this, BUT I get questioned about it a lot. So if I was going to make another Ghoul's Forest, this is how I would do it:
This time there's no messing around. No more copy/paste trees and 3 or 4 hi-res textures. The forest would be how I imagined it before the laziness kicked in, detailed and spooky. The WAD would have two modes, traditional and endless. In the endless mode, you would fight Ghouls over and over and try to get a high score. Traditional is how the first few games played, only there would be more Ghouls (I'm talking like 20+) but you only fight 4 picked at random and then the final boss. To keep things varied, there would be invnetory items randomly scattered around and dropped by ghouls. Items would include arrow upgrades (temporarily give you 10 fire/ice/lightning arrows from GVH), an eye that can be used once to reveal what Ghoul is next, Shield item which gives you armour, haste which increases speed etc etc. It would play more arcadey but still have some screwed up lookin' Ghouls, as well as updated versions of the old ones. In endless mode, Ghouls would get stronger, faster and even gain new attacks the longer you survive.
REMEMBER, this is not me announcing a new GF project. I still have other crap I want to do in Doom ;)

Endless.. Endless War. Do you intentionally come up with these names?
I have never played any of the Ghoul Forest games. Does that make me a bad guy?
Will any of the abilities the humans have now carry over?
-
You'd only play as the Hunter like in GF3, but you'd get his different arrow types as inventory items that can be used to upgrade your old ones.

Poor Cyborg. If he were in GF4. He shouldn't be able to fly. He should be able to dodge though and plasma should be smaller and faster but slower fire rate.

Pardon for the bump, but...
Your ideas for endlessness sound a lot like my pawn of the king expansion planning, idea-wise. Not that that's a bad thing, I'm glad you're actually CONSIDERING it. What with endless ghouls attacking, who wouldn't share the love? :mrgreen:
If you want any help, I wouldn't mind lending a hand. I've started getting quite crafty with DECORATE, ACS, mapping, and photoshop. I even managed to get those 3D skyboxes working too (with the six panels that form a cross when unfolded)
(Yeah, I know it's a bunch of clowns, big whoop. But hey, whose not to like except caulrophobes? After all, it was inspired by your Ghoul's Forest series.)
And let's not forget our beloved Frostbite now...

So, again, if you do officially decide to throw a stamp of approval down for a fourth edition, I'm offering my services wherever available.

Would you still make it? (would, being the key word here.)
it will be a big disappoint to all the fans and peeps out there, if you didn't.
I'm not commanding you to make it for us straight away, I'm just curious if you would actually make it.
I'm sorry if i'm nagging btw.
:p

If I make another horror WAD it won't be Ghoul's Forest, that's all I'll say
