Probably to some effect. Though I would say more one protagonist (Lena) given how much Lena gets in terms of everything handed to her content wise while Ian, naturally is lacking. Sure, Lena is EKs likely favorite in a sense, they are going to get more of the screen time so to speak. But again, EK is the one who decided to go with two protagonists this round. If she was smart (which is questionable) she would have had this story already planned out in a sense. Or atleast a true general theory. Thats not the case here. It's all hodgepodged on a whim storytelling with pandered content ad nausaum.I wonder how much of the writing block is due to the 2 protagonists. The dev is essentially writing 2 games at the same time and trying to keep track of all the variables must get exhausting.
I think the push to maintain deadlines is to keep the dev motivated when she faces problems aswell as to prevent accusations of milking. I do think that she's in serious risk of burnout eventually and I wouldn't be surprised if she took an extended break after the game is complete or a shorter one within 2 chapters.
In all likelyhood IF EK were to do a third game, she's not gonna do two protagonists again. She's already sinking this ship metaphorically as is with the story and such.
