I've been over the moon with this review, and I'm so happy that it gets such high praise from you.
As for the text, I did include message options so that players could choose a faster speed if they'd like, though if that wasn't working I'll have to take a look at it to see what I can do for it. The skip intro is a good idea, and wouldn't be that hard to implement since it'd just be a choice and setting the player in the yard. :D
