On the start screen, I find myself often naming my character last, but then I see the green section saying 'press space bar to start the game'. Pressing space at that point does not start the game, it inserts a space into the name edit box.  So then i have to click outside the name edit box, before pressing space. 

That feels a bit janky and it could probably be streamlined. My suggestion is get rid of the green boxed suggestion and have a button to begin game. I would also suggest having the button grayed out until everything is complete, because currently a game can be started with an empty name field, so the character is called Player, which doesn't seem very neat to me. Even if you insert a randomized name to start with, guaranteeing something valid for the lore of the game instead of 'Player'.
