Hi again!
I believe the update demo has reduced this, and if we are funded, I will likely do a bit of rewriting of the Prelude as well.
To your question - I'm sure we can include a skip in the full game. That's a good idea (since a lot of you would have played the Prelude, I imagine, and wouldn't want to go through it again).
I hope we get funded too! We're doing as much as we can to get the word out : D
