Hi Christian,

It seems to be broken, yes...

Same for me (I'm using Guix System with guix 4716cea).

When running renpy-launcher I also noticed that the sample projects "Tutorial" 
and "The Question" are listed but grayed out, you can't launch them. Then I 
found out that these two are provided as separate outputs of the renpy package 
in Guix, so I installed them. However, after that, they are still disabled in 
the launcher (even after clicking the "Refresh" button).

Same here. I saw the same error when clicking on "+ Create new project" in the 
first screen of the launcher, and when trying to set a projects directory in 
the preferences screen.

I don't know, but I think this is a bug and should be reported to 
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/. I don't see any open issues about renpy there.

I think the launcher should just work, as you say, and you should use the GUI 
to set any preferences.
