SkipIntro

A BepInEx mod for MycoPunk that skips the intro sequence and jumps directly to the main menu.

Description

This client-side mod eliminates the lengthy boot screens, splash screens, loading bars, and initialization sequences that traditionally play during game startup. By patching the StartMenu.Awake method, the mod skips directly to the main menu interface, saving valuable time for players who have already seen the intro content.

The mod properly handles first-time initialization by maintaining state flags and preserving essential setup processes like profile validation, settings initialization, and auto-hosting logic. Music playback and cursor unlocking are also preserved during the skip process.
