Three things:

1) the current release version of Kivy (1.11.1) does not install under Python 3.8.  Use Python 3.7   

2) Looking at at the depdencies, you appear to be using obsolete install instructions. Use this https://kivy.org/doc/stable/installation/installation-windows.html

3) pygame is not required to run Kivy

so, what  Kivy==2.0.0rc3  can work under python 3.8 or 3.7

yes

But is a release candidate, and (to my knowelege) there are no install instructions, so I would not suggest this to a beginner.

Of course you can try whatever you want to. :))

And don't forget to install the right dependencies, use kivy_deps.whatever   not kivy.deps.whatever
