SparkIV 0.9.0-alpha.2

Second alpha of the new SparkIV: mostly cutscenes looking more like the game.

Install: download reditec.SparkIV-win-Setup.exe and run it; an installed 0.9.0-alpha.1 offers this update by itself at start. Windows may show a SmartScreen warning because the app isn't signed yet: choose "More info → Run anyway".
