Essential improvements

Skip intro videos

Delete or rename video files
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\Nova\Content\Movies.
  2. Delete or rename LOGO_DEVOLVER.mp4, LOGO_WEIRDWEST.mp4 and LOGO_WOLFEYE.mp4.
It is still necessary to press Space to skip the story cutscene before getting to the main menu; deleting MotionSeq_Sec4_30fps_2.mp4 does not work.
