A big change I'm working on is allowing BOSSES to be shot with the PEARL POWER. I think it's the right thing to do, since it make the power-up feel more meaningful.
But each of the 8 unique bosses need to be re-coded a bit to support this. Should be worth it I hope!

It's always so incredibly impressive to see how the #homebrew community is able to port the OpenLara to run on these castle underpowered systems, never meant for 3D.
I just wish we'd actually work being continued on optimizing them and porting more of the game.
