Renmazuo (siebtzen) wrote : [DSE] Dating Sim Engine example game doesn't show variables properly

Steps taken:

1. Download the latest version of Ren'Py (in my case 6.13.7.1646) and extract the DSE downloadable from renpy.org in the projects folder;
2. Run the DSE.

Results:

As soon as the first variable is displayed in game you will see that it shows like this:

It's day %(day)d.

Would it be possible to make it so that older projects that use the old way of calling variables are still compatible with the newer Ren'Py versions? I found this while experimenting with the DSE to figure it out and explain it to someone else who wants to create their game with it but seems to have difficulties making sense of the documentation. This bug can be fairly confusing for people who don't have any programming knowledge or help and may lead (or may have lead many before) them to just drop the DSE due to the negative first approach.
