Repeated intro

Hey Dino Fans! The Early Access journey of Dino Trauma continues. Today's update expands Episode 2 with a new story map, two new dinosaur species, and new secrets to find. We also fixed a large number of bugs across Episode 1 and Episode 2, and improved visuals, enemy AI, and overall gameplay feel throughout the game. This was probably the hardest update we have ever made. We had many technical problems along the way, but we made it. As always, thank you for playing, testing, and reporting bugs. Your support keeps the project moving forward.
