There is no event after Anna's boss is captured and Anna kisses him in shock. Is this really the ending? Will it end without anyone being subdued this time too? Anyone who knows, please answer~!my version is 0.15.4888
The game has been dead in the water for several years. There are no conclusions to any of the arcs, as far as I can see. He never gets with his mother, never finishes Lucy's study session, and doesn't finish things off with his elder sister. The most conclusive arc is Jenny's. Unfortunately, I don't think Rainces wrote this game with any endings in mind.

The game is still being developed. It just has a different name

BBS was a great idea, but it's execution has been lackluster. And with so many attempts ending in abandoned games and patreon scams, the idea just has to die. Unless someone shadow drops an almost completed or, even more unlikely, a complete game, the idea should die and people stop giving it attention so people take turns bleeding the dead horse. Erasing content and marginally putting it back in over several months, or spending months to change the UI to make it look "better" or add more minigames are just excuses to milk money. This isn't a triple A game, or even a big indie game. It's a VN (sandbox optional) using Ren'py, doesn't even need animations since the original project didn't have them and got a huge audience. Script out the storylines, render the visual frames using DAZ, skip minigames and instead have stat building/money earning mechanics with progression/scenes locked behind them. It's harder and more time consuming than I put it, but it isn't the next BGS game.

Bobby’s Memoirs of Depravity [v0.15.53] [ZipTieFun]
It is the same game and same dev. All he did was change the name
I actually don't think that's possible because rainces makes a lot more money if he uses his own name and the other thread is a lot more popular. Just doesn't make sense.

Agreed.

Rainces was on up to $2000 at one point on his Patreon. Per month. All he had to do to keep that lifestyle was hire a programmer and Daz 3D artist and hand over his IP to someone else. He could've ''phoned in'' the script and that would've been the end of it. I earnestly have no idea why he didn't simply handover the work to someone else. At the time, it seemed to me a massive waste of the time invested.

Likewise, I've spoken to him personally. He was burned out. As far as I can deduce, he abandoned Bad Boy Bobby because he was tired of trying to keep up with it. He likely hit a black hole in inspiration and couldn't plot his way out of it, and it likely didn't help that he was the sole writer, producer, programmer and artist of his own project.

On the note of ZipTie being Rainces. I've played ZipTieFun's version of Bad Boy Bobby. Their writing style isn't even remotely similar. Two very different people wrote and produced those games. You can see it in the psychology of the sex that happens, and the nature in which the scenarios go down. ZipTie is more abusive, dominant, masochistic; Rainces is playful, perverted, embarassing, and enjoys blackmailing (in a manner of speaking) the female characters. They can't be the same author, their motivations for producing Bobby simply don't align.

I doubt that rainces left because he was burned out. He released an update about Lisa without any sex scenes. She didn't even show her boobs to Bobby. Surely he had a lot of ideas.

I spoke to him on Discord. He said he had a lot going on IRL and not enough time to do it. This was one month before his Patreon was pulled, and during an extremely long content draught.
