renpy resources

renpy is a visual novel engine built using python, so all it's programming is within python!
it's been used for a whole bunch of games, such as doki doki literature club, a date with death, slay the princess and a bunch more!

you can find it here, and it can be setup very easily within VSCode with this official extension.
though it is built in python, it has it's own syntax (writing style) and structure, so you can learn it separately to python.

samples

you can find a bunch of the example games built using renpy on this itchio page - beware some of these are adult/mature content games.
