Optimizations

Happy to announce that the blood & gibbing is now performing much much better - you should for sure see an improvement in framerate, especially on the more heavy maps such as the prison one.

Speaking of the prison, I've disabled shadow casting on projectiles on the prison map, the shadows were very hard to spot but had a big performance impact.

Further, I've optimized the loading screens - they are now a bit faster hopefully, alongside optimized projectiles and their explosion/impact particles.

Oh, and buildsizes, way way smaller now (game only 380 mb now)

Check the changelog for the remaining bugfixes / performance improvements

New achievements

I've added 3 new achievements - sorry about that first one haha (be glad it's not locked to gym map only)

I figured I should also make achievements for unlocking Knight Bob and Plague Bob, as those are considered secrets.

This follows the other secrets which also have their own achievements.

Read below for a full changelog
