I first downloaded Ren'py, but already had problems on the start. When opening any of the scripts, that belonged to demo projects, I have been seeing syntax errors on almost every keyword. I tried to search for something like "define is not defined ren py", but found nothing - seems there are no special forums for Ren'py, except its own Github. Python was updated yesterday - installation folder is default, same for Ren'py - I tried both 7.5.2 and 8.0.2. Ren'py cannot be installed wrong, because the app is being downloaded ready to launch. What can be wrong about my installation process?enter image description here

rpy is Ren'py's own specialized Python dialect. You're seeing syntax errors because your VSCode has been told to try and parse rpy as Python. You'd need to use a package for Ren'py syntax (e.g. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=LuqueDaniel.languague-renpy – disclaimer: haven't tried that out).

Furthermore, you don't run rpy files using the vanilla Python interpreter (as you're attempting to); you'd run them via the Ren'py launcher as described in the "Getting Started" tutorial.
