It shouldn't be compared to MoTH, it's a different game.

Dreams of Desire is already done. Man of the House is already done. Now it's about moving forward, creating something new, not the same with new skins. Faerin is doing a great job and this game can be something really special.

I'm running windows 8.1 enterprise edition 64bit. COREi3 6gb of RAM.
My driver is updated to the latest available. The previous version of the game was running without any issue.
My antivirus didnt flag anything and i only blocked the internet connection with firewall like i always do with this game and every other one. but even tried without blocking. didnt work.

You need to have VS 2015 C++ Redistributable installed:
You must be registered to see the links
You will need to uninstall the ones you have and install this first, then update.
Get back to us and tell us if it worked or not or join Discord so we can help you live

I have that already installed. i did join the discord too so hopefully something will get this sorted.
I really wish his games were on Renpy. Makes life so much easier.

Go to Discord now and make yourself known and we can help you, as for this being on Ren'py the UI would be really difficult if not impossible to put on that platform

I usually stay out of the Ren'Py discussions here or on the MotH thread, because I've made my position known, but this is nonsense.
Ren'Py is backed by Python. You can do just about anything (possibly not make a good FPS) with it. Customizing the UI is easy.

I bow to your superior knowledge on the subject, that's not sarcasm it's the truth. I wont argue with a coder
So do I, as it's mostly people with little to no development experience repeating stuff they have seen other people (usually with just as little experience) say.
However, just because something is possible doesn't make it a good idea.
I don't get the whole Unity vs Renpy discussion to be honest, it's like people are offended when someone says Ren'py is not suited for something.
And so many people, either because they like to troll or are just not very....informed (I'll try to be nice), say this game should be made with Ren'py.
I would like to make something clear:
Ren'py is intended for VN's, so if you are making a straight up VN, I'd recommend it.
However, Ren'py not suited for a game like this (not even close).
Just because a game has pictures and text, doesn't make it a VN.
Sure you can use custom code and make "anything", but that still doesn't mean it's a good idea.
The whole intention of frameworks like these is to reduce the workload, not increase it.
It's like saying you can make a spreadsheet in Word, but that doesn't mean it's just as good as Excel for that purpose.
For all the "offended" people out there: It's not about a Renpy developer being a better or worse person than a Unity developer, it's about making smart (and informed) choices.
/end rant

I disagree. There are plenty of sandboxes done in Ren'Py; many of them actually well made. I haven't played MM, but I played MotH a ton - hell, I wrote the original Wine instructions for it. There was nothing in MotH that couldn't have been done (and done well) in Ren'Py. Doing it in Ren'Py would make Mac and Linux versions free, and get rid of the whole VC++ redistributable thing that so many people just don't understand how to do (never mind that the instructions are clear, and are posted a lot...).
Anything that's not compute-intensive I'd rather write in Python. If it is compute intensive, C or C++.
If I didn't know any better I'd think that you were trolling
Because making a statement like that without even having played MwM (which is what we are talking about here) is...a bit weird I would say.
Anyway, everyone can have their opinion of course.
I just felt the urge to clarify my point of view for those that would like to read it.
We can agree to disagree.
