An updated Milestone 2 Design Document for PepperTux Legacy, based on the old one from PepperTux-Mod.
The goal of PepperTux Legacy Milestone 2 is to add another island to the game, the Forest World! It’s not named Rooted Forest here due to this being based on an older version of the Forest World from SuperTux.
After Tux defeats the Yeti in Icy Island, he goes to the Forest World, hoping Nolok would be there. When he gets to the Forest World, he meets a Granito who tells him that Nolok has turned part of the forest into the Ghost Forest, and Tux tells the Granito that he can help defeat Nolok.
During the Light Forest part of Forest World, Tux finds some Granitos, gets through a level where there's water and lightning, and goes through a cave that lasts for one level (despite what the removed Ghost Forest transition cutscene has in the beginning, the cave is not the last part of the Light Forest, but I thought at the time that I would make it be the last part of the Light Forest)
After Tux gets through the first part of the forest, he finds a Will-O-Wisp in the wall of rocks, touches it and he finds what the Granito was talking about, the Ghost Forest. He sees some sleeping Ghost Granitos, trees without leaves, mushrooms and everything seems to be darker, and despite it being morning just a level ago, it's now night. This must be the magic that Nolok could be using, so Tux walks towards the ruins, going through a few levels on the way.
During the Ghost Forest part of Forest World, Tux has to avoid some tricks, like platforms that move fast and spikes that fall. He also finds some Granitos again, however, this time, they have been corrupted by Nolok's magic. They might act like Snowballs.
After Tux gets through the Ghost Forest, he finds a tower. This tower was up for 100 years, and since it was left there, it appears to be quite damaged. When Nolok took over this tower, he used some magic to turn the part of the forest the ruins are in into the Ghost Forest, and left when he knew Tux was nearby. Unfortunately, he also left with Penny.
When Tux gets through the Destroyed Tower, he finds that Nolok has left with Penny because of a letter that Penny managed to write because Nolok let her write the letter for some reason. When he leaves, he finds that he can't until he defeats a Ghost Tree that was left there by Nolok to keep taking over the Forest World, so he defeats the Ghost Tree and everything turns back to normal. When things return to normal, Tux gets through one more level before leaving for World 3.
While the already-existing forest badguys will be in the Forest World like the Vicious Ivy, there will be new badguys too.
Along with the already-existing forest tiles, there will be new tiles too.
Ghost Tree is the only new boss. The reason why it's mentioned is because it has new sprites made by FilipOK, although only the root has been added.
