Why are people so insistent on Ian being a bad lover? Gillian thought he was great, this has been confirmed by Allison, Lena thinks he is great and we can see proof of that in her internal monologue. Every single character that Ian has slept with will say he is great. So I am genuinly curious where this comes from.
Axel fanboys.

Can you point out where I am insisting upon anything? I was only commenting for the sake of the discussion.

She could close Robert off for Lena if she wanted to and just keep him around for the occasional still image with Holly, that doesn't necessarily take a ton of development time.
Robert already is pretty much just copy and paste of scenes with another guys (Ian or Mike) so i don't think getting rid of him would speed things up to any noticeable degree. Tbh, aside from possible development with Stan there isn't anything at this stage i can think of that could be easily discarded... and one or two routes out of dozen isn't going to shorten the development time much, so i don't feel it's even worth it.

I shouldn't have made a broad statement like that when directly quoting you. I apologize for that.
I was thinking about and adressing some of the sentiments I have seen pop up in this thread regarding Ian's capabilities as a lover that paint him as incapable, when all the evidence we have seen in the game shows otherwise.
Alright. It should be said that Ian does have variables in the game with certain women, Alison mainly, that manage his performance with them. I don't think he has any of those with Cindy though. I don't know how much these variables are used but at least to a degree, with certain options, Ian's performance is a player choice.

Easy route to cut is Ian/Ivy :devilish:

Ah, Eva did end up using AI. I suppose this is an example of when it can be used without too negative of an impact, since those pics are just filler material.

I recall it was a discussion if the background of the town road in this chapter was AI.
It was pretty obviously used for some of earlier backgrounds too -- chairs with missing legs and weird windows in one of the interior shots were dead giveaway. It blended well enough with rest of the game's style though.

Ah, is that so? I only really paid mind to that one background with the winding path because the style itself looked quite different from Eva's usual backgrounds. I think the others mostly melded well.

There is, in fact, game variable which tracks Ian's performance with Cindy:
Python:
default cindy_satisfaction = 0            # MAX 2 (ch9). Ian's performance on the bedroom. MAX 3 (ch10) /// MAX 4 (ch12)
Others are for Lena, Cherry, Alison and Emma. But no Holly. :sneaky:
