I'm glad you're still enjoying CK :)
As for your idea, the problem is - as with so many ideas - that I am but a mere solo dev, and the more content I add to a particular character or mechanic, the less time I have to develop content in other areas. So everything becomes this balancing act, where I have to decide whether or not the loss of content in other areas is worth the increased content in this specific area.
In this case, adding a custom death scene for every single character you can execute would require exponentially more work as time went on and since very few people ever pick the execute option it would be a lot of work in return for almost nobody ever seeing it.
Finally, I don't actually reward players for executing people in CK. For a bunch of reasons, really: first is that the MC hasn't been portrayed as a killer throughout his interactions in the first two acts and suddenly having him get stab-happy is a little odd. Second is because tactically it's just a terrible idea. And third, because I don't really want to turn CK into a blood-spattered tale of murder and visceral vengeance - for all the dark events that occur, CK is at its heart quite earnest, a little goofy and contains as many wholesome moments as horny ones.
So, as much as I'd love to fill every possible interaction with depth and variation, it's sadly not possible - and in this case, even if it was, I likely wouldn't do it because of issues of tone and consistency.
But I do appreciate the feedback and the suggestion!

Every point you made is completely understandable and agreeable. You are a one-man army after all, there's only so much you can do. 😅 And yeah, not everyone wants to intentionally be a bad guy, so those options would be usually bypassed.
Going back to the third point you made (because I love storytelling elements); as much as a certain someone would deserve to die, that feeling of satisfaction is then left with.... emptiness. What I mean by that is after I executed Maven, the forest area felt... Empty. Dead. Lonely. Sad. I didn't like that feeling at all. It was like you the Dev saying:
"You got what your thirst for blood sated. Was it worth it?"
So yeah, I hear you perfectly well The Arc.
And thanks for taking the time to dissect why, as plausible of an idea it is, it really wouldn't work in this case. Awesome stuff 😁👌🏾
And where can I post fanart? I've been wanting to draw some for a while now😎
Regarding the fanart, I’d suggest joining the discord server, there’s a channel for that.
And if you’re agreeable, it might get added to the Extras section in the main menu.
I'm always happy to talk to players and explain my reasoning behind things (it accounts for about 70% of every livestream I do...) :)
As for the fanart, I'd love to see it! As Chris says, if you post it in the #i-made-this channel on the CK Discord (and ping me so I see it!) I'll even add it to the fanart gallery in-game, with your permission and links to any portfolio you may have.
