The demo hasn't been updated, though. It's still at version 1.0.2 which is the version it was first released here.
- Frame rate limiter only goes up to 120. Had to limit to 240 (my monitor refresh rate) through NVidia control panel. Without frame rate limit, the game took 100% of my GPU in the menu.

- Some artefactting at the start of the intro (see screenshot).

- There are transparent black bars in every cutscene. Looks strange, either they should not be there at all or they should be fully opaque. Attaching screenshots of this.

- The ability to instantly execute any low tier enemy seems way too strong. Makes it so that only the enemies that can't be instantly executed are relevant, as you can just chain execute a million regular dudes because you are invulnerable while doing it.

Galaxy has a build from April 13th. Offline installers probably not out yet.

This is just a notification topic. While the devs might check here for responses, you should probably paste this into the actual feedback thread linked in the OP if you want them to definitely see this. ; )

Oh, didn't realize there was an extra thread. Should probaly have read the OP fully. Thanks for the reminder.
I was going to ask why a dev was bothering with making an updated demo of a 37 years old game ?
But noticed that not only this good oldie is NOT on gog ( https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/captain_blood ) but there is another game of the same name (and a totally different one) now.

Very nice to see that there are devs that still create demos in our time and even better update them

If you weren't aware, there are scores of demos, free "prologues", etc., among the (currently) 8 pages of free game results here:

Unfortunately, I had to stop getting demos because there was no way to delete them once I purchase the full game.

At least you can hide them (it's what I do).

That is true, and I do that.
