Repeated intro

Hello everyone! Today marks exactly one year since the release of the Hero's Story action game. During this year, the game has received two major updates, as well as several hotfixes. New game mechanics, as well as new locations and items were added. Many new players set foot on the lands of Teandria for the first time, and I would like to thank everyone again for their support of the game and your feedback! To celebrate this significant date, I decided to release another fairly large anniversary update - it fixes some long-standing bugs, adds new settings and slightly improves performance. I hope you will enjoy this anniversary update!
