Compare games with other is very correct way to predict how Anna will end up (I hope not)!
and about Manila Shaw: is a great story and works fine also in Renpy ... in RPGM restart from the beginning a game is a mess.
The differences using RenPy or RPGM are:
1) The first one is very good for people that do not want play a game for 6 hours or more before understand the story!
2) RPGM is very good when you want stay in front of the monitor screen to explore places all the day long (and even the night)
but in the
Adult game world it is assumed that gamers are no longer schoolchildren ... Renpy is more suited to the adult working public, and who don't have much time to devote to video games while RPGM is for young people who still ask for pocket money in family
so your "lmfao/s" are useless personal opinion as if you were superior or the sole repository of the truth..
I never judge other users opinions
the 2 platforms are different and the 99% of the renpy games can prove that!
If the people request to use RenPy is because they don't want play a renpy game that is very same as RPGM... they have the reasons I explained up
so this engine changing is a vary bad idea... Deep will be the First Dev that will disappoint all users... RPGM and RenPy lover will never been happy..
All RenPy users love to play by make choices and when the choice has been done the character goes automatically to the correct place without Maps.. or changing clothes requires clicking in doors where the wardrobe is locate...
those are the typical useless TIME-CONSUMING situation that will never be accepted by Renpy layer...
Also the "Journal" is useless too.. because the choices are more than enough... and if the choice is wrong you can always roll back... (this was the same error made in Fashion Business that was an RPGM game and it is still an like as RPGM but in super bugged renpy engine)
and more contents they will add in this future versions and more bugs will becomes evident.. (as it was for FB)
All RPGM games are bugged..
All games where Renpy Engine is used to imitate a RPGM mechanism comes with more and more bugs... (also from very expert renpy developers.
Being a Dick is a well made RenPy but if you search for bug...

and New Coral City
https://f95zone.to/threads/new-coral-city-v1-4-honeygames.28118/
this is a game that was in Unity in the prequel...
when a dev force game to works as it was in a different platform on renpy he will get a lot of bugs
and in this last case he have to re-wamp the full game because the old version was unplayable...
This are only 2 example... that can prove what I'm trying to say.
Just my opinion of course.
