I fully support you!
I think 1.3 was the last before it went patreon rules nuked and there was a GitHub setup with the src's, quick google should find it for you & then you can scale it to your hearts desire, I was modding it on and off for fun once the game went bad
Game wasn't built in twine by the end (like free cities) I believe people helped dev move beyond to speed up the making.

Yes, it was fixed. PE1.3200, the one with poor performance, had it at:
Code:
Config.history.maxStates=50; //TODO Set this back to 5 after testing

I remember that bug, I may or may not have been the cause of it
...IIRC there was a version of the game with the cut content merged back in, that was released as a proper release, not a mod. It might be worth trawling through the repo to see what was checked in, also check out some of the other branches, there was a bit of a habit of running parallel branches with different content for a while there.
I think Twine/Twigo works "fine" for this style of game, but if I had a choice to start from scratch, I'd probably look at RenPy, as it seems to have good support for these story types of games, but also good state tracking and capabilities to extend. There was a lot of custom work put into this game, which was made more difficult than it needed to be by using Twine. I don't have enough experience with RenPy to say if it would be easier or harder with that engine, but I've seen other games that seem to handle this kind of gameplay well (eg, Headmaster).
At the end of the day, however, we really need to ask why we'd update or change this game at all? Engine wise, changing that would be an absolutely massive task, and you'd end up at the same place we're at now. I think the biggest problems with this game weren't the engine in the end, but rather story progression and endings. If we were to do a remake, I'd start of by re-writing it, then implementing that re-write from scratch.
This thread needs the Abandoned tag, after the initial Dev and that Bob guy stopped developing this game everything went to shit and the only thing we got in many years was a few updates to the damn cheerleader route....

Note :
I don't want to derail this thread but since there was not much new content in the past years for PE :
In case you run out of feminization literature, there is a rather new pirate site from 8Muses users who share thousands of ebooks, comics, etc. Quality of the novels varies, but since they have a huge selection of feminization stories, I thought I share this source here ...
A story which may come close to PE is

A pity, but understandable. The dev didn't inherit a sinecure.
Can't really expect the game to pass to a fifth lead dev and succeeding. If they manage to get the content that's already written coded and out the door, that may be it.
Hopefully before they give up they put up a github with all the files not compiled so modding or someone else might take it over

They already have that... It's been available for like 2 years.
Right you are & thanks for pointing that out, not sure why but I thought there was only the pre handover and another for the the pre patreon rules versions, but you are right there is one for this version as well.
All I can think is that the last time I looked I was probably being a sleep deprived moron & the version numbers bounced off the side of my brain

Twine code is notoriously difficult to take over from someone else. There can be code hidden away in the text of a simple passage, and you wouldn't know until you read that passage inside twine or visual studio.
Does anyone know how to get the guardian ending in the current 3200 version? My char already has long hair, lvl 6 perv, and completed the trophy wife training but i can't find a way to interact with my guardian on the weekend

Revisiting this for the first time in a few years - last played around when the mother>babysitter change was made. It appears a little buggier than I remember. Things like buying a pair of shoes and having it not show up, or the "mom did laundry and all panties are wet" event soft-locking you if it happens when on the cheerleader arc (game wants to force you to go to school commando, but also doesn't let you go to school without a full set of female clothes because of Rachel's stipulation). Otherwise it seems like the same ol' Perverted Education I last played in 2019.
I tried Hard difficulty this time around, with the added self-imposed rules of not going to the best friend and not gaming the arcade. I kind of expected a bit more economic pressure and points of failure where I wouldn't be able to keep up. But it's actually still entirely manageable as long as you diligently follow all the instructions and do your chores. I suppose that is the game working as intended - a debt spiral isn't the point, sissification is.
One of the TFGS reviews mention this game is a victim of "Seinfeld is Unfunny" syndrome, and I agree. A lot of it feels very old-fashioned simply because it's a relatively old game without some of the genre's later QoL innovations, but playing newer sissification/transformation games in the genre, its influence is felt everywhere. When there's a weirdly idiosyncratic quirk in those games that makes you wonder "why did they do it this way?" it feels like the answer is often: PE did it this way. Those games just aped it unquestioningly and took the feature out of a context where it made sense.
(As a side note the Classic appears to be the same artist who did/does one of the avatar versions of Trap Quest. That style is not for me but it is super distinctive.)

On the topic of the drawn avatars, the "Classic" avatar is in the public v1.3301 version, it's just kind of hidden away in Settings>tick Drawn Avatar>select Classic. The other two don't seem to be in the public 526.9MB file.

Good writeup, imo. I am curious what kinds of features you're talking about other games apeing?
Yup, that's correct. the OG avatar was done by April Ryan (one of the OG devs), and the version in PE is adapted from the one made by them for Trapquest. A good few years back I had access to the Photoshop file used to make the avatar, since I had offered to do a few things on the avatar, but never got implemented (a layered, from-behind view of the PC during inspections). I did do some work on some outfits that made their way into the game though. There were quite a few things in the file that was present in TQ but absent from PE. From what I remember, AR had adapted it from various comics by a certain porn artist, but I can't remember who.
In any case, I'm quite familiar with the OG avatar.
Unfortunately, it's been quite a few years since I've messed around with it (about around the time AR left and development got picked up by the new team), and I've since lost the file along with my copy that I've made edits to in a HDD crash. I've looked around as well and can't find the messages from AR that I had originally gotten them from either. I do remember the file being fucking hefty (even on a beefy rig), it was almost impossible to work with in PS, and I had to grab bits and pieces at a time and move them to another file to do any real work on it.
I'll see if I can do some more digging and find it. I don't really know if it's something I can really share, or if anyone would be interested in it though.
