Introduction
Lucas Lee, under his current alias, is a controversial game developer that is notorious for mainly Gacha Life, Gacha Club and Gacha Life 2. Well, the negative kind of sinking reputation as he tries to resuscitate the sinking ship of his personal army with WonderEnd, which has been delayed multiple times to the point I can say that it will never released to the public. He is also notorious for the skin censorship in Gacha Life to Club as a poor attempt of trying to stop Gacha Heat.Not only he is an open lolicon, he is a bad person to actually work with, built many controversies alone because of his poor takes and damage control against Gacha Heat, and even deflecting criticism. Yet still, children still actively support and defend him and his actions without doing research. This is shown as an another example of how not to be a game developer and how not to make games dedicated to everyone alike.
Early life
As Xyo
Pre-AE and work with AE
Early before the creation of CyanPro, Lucas is a legend amongst Adventure Quest World players around its founding in 2008 and has made a solid group of friends. Because of his immense passion of AQW, he starts making MV tutorials and animations about AQW. His first clip was solely AQW content called The Corruption of Lore (A) .During his AQW era, he even got noticed by the founder of Artix Entertainment, Artix Krieger, and both form a friendship from animation to in-game fun, and even Lucas visiting Artix in real life. In 2011, he joined Artix Entertainment as a voluntary animator and artist for AE. During his time with AE, he also has Put The Record On, his own music-themed MMORPG in the making, in which we will get into later on. Then, AE launches Hero Smash, which Lucas and some of his former teammates were asked to join the new team, lead by Randor The Red. Since then, Lucas was the animator, whilst the rest of the devs are behind its programming and artworks.
Leaving AE and Post-AE
Allegedly because Hero Smash's animations were reused in Put The Record On and Stick Quest; Lucas was kicked out of AE due to PTRO's issues and also because of Stick Quest. He then threw a childish fit to AE on his long-gone Twitter account, XyoBurst. Spictom confirmed this in 2022:His fits:

Despite good starts and expectation for Hero Smash, it unfortunately does not do well as expected. More content was needed to pull, but due to the team being lacking, they were not able to pull it off, including Lucas. Artix insisted Lucas to drop PTRO to fully focus for AQWorld promotions and Hero Smash. This was because of the game's flaws; but Lucas agreed to work with the game a bit; then he left AE because of conflicts between him and the AE staffs; and purged his AQWorld presence and went MIA from the AQW community permanently.
Lucas' very first game is not even PTRO, it is actually MyAQW, which functions both as a site for Lucas to post videos on and a dress-up game, in which the latter was a precursor to his later games' dress-up mechanic like PTRO, and later titles' dress-up mechanic. Currently there are no known snapshots of the site/game, as it has been bit in the dust. It was released in 2010 and counts as his first public game.
More games he submitted for Artix Entertainment's contest were Stick Quest for Player's Choice, in which Stick Quest won first place. It was released in February 11, 2011; in which the allegation of Lucas being fired from AE because of Stick Quest might be true, due to the game took up to 24 hours to fully decompile. Like many of Lucas' games, they all have a lot of flaws and bad coding.

CyanPro/PTRO/Luneon Saga
PTRO
Before he threw a fit to AE, he has a discontinued 2D Side-Scroller Flash Game called Put The Record On, which was released in 2011 and shut down in 2012. This is due to Lucas claims it was "dead" and made the game too big back then. It used to have its own forum-like website before it got bit in the dust in 2012, along with PTRO:

Cyan Production
After PTRO was shut down, Lucas and his friend 2046808 founded Cyan Production. Cyan Production is a group of Flash artists, animators and game creators that released various games that were either shut down or discontinued.Member list:

After Lucas left AE and AQW, he changed his alias from Xyo to Luneon.
In 2015, the team disbanded, only leaving Lucas and "Charlotte" to rebrand CyanPro to Lunime, taking a simpler logo design and starts making shovelwares. Phantom was also originally a part of Cyan Production, and like PTRO, the site has its own chat, but is buggy and poorly coded in general. After that, it, like PTRO's site, were shut down, but CyanP's reason of shutdown was unknown, most likely rebranding and changing to a newer domain.

Jet Ace (CyanP)
The original Jet Ace was initially released in 2012, acting as CyanP's very first Flash arcade game. Like many of CyanP's games, they are all discontinued, shut down and removed due to rebranding to Lunime, and possibly him disbanding his former teammates due to personal conflicts between Lucas and almost all of the team, except for Asif and Phantom.Xkour: Extreme Parkour
This is also an another side-scrolling parkour game by Lucas, released in January 3, 2013. Much like many of Lucas' games, they are reskins of other different mechanics such of side-scrolling, parkour, strategy, timing and so on. It would be shut down, removed and discontinued after CyanP's rebrand to Lunime.Archive

Luneon is his newest initial since his departure from AQW. Also known as Cyto, Luneon first started releasing shovelware reskins before his rebrand from Luneon to Luni. Nothing much to know about his history, aside from few videos from his YouTube channel which highlights his Onigiri gameplays:

Old Lunime
During 2015, CyanPro was rebranded as Lunime, in which other Gachatards refer it as Old Lunime. During his time with Charlie and "Charlotte", he releasesa list of games that were removed by the Play Store:

Some examples were Jet Ace (reskin of the older Jet Ace), Cyanity and Anime Jump!, which I will be sampling, and all of the listed games shared the exact reason why they are gone, which is because Play Store and App Store removed them for unconfirmed reasons.
Jet Ace
Jet Ace is the remake of the original Jet Ace, which I have linked above, is also a side-scrolling parkour game that was released in May 20th, 2014. Initially available for PC before, it would be soon released to Android and iOS. There is nothing much to know about it, like the rest of Lucas' games pre-Lunime 2016 before its untimely removal from the Play Store.Cyanity
Cyanity is one of the precursor of Old Lunime, released by CyanP in 2012, then to Android in April 1, 2014. There was nothing to know much about Cyanity's history, aside from it sharing the same quality Lucas does.Anime Jump
Anime Jump, which was Lunime's "lost" game that was created by Charlie, one of CyanP's oldest members, which features over 100 copyrighted anime and video game characters. Nothing to know much about it aside from its possible reason of removal could be copyright infringement from Kadokawa, or the game was sweeped out with the rest of Lucas' games back in 2014 (with the exception of Cyanity, which was soon deleted along with the Old Lunime publisher in late 2010s.)New Lunime
After everything in Old Lunime, Lucas released Anime Gacha in 2015, in which some of its character are plagiarized, which I will list later. The rest of his games soon take the Gachapon mechanic, which is still used to this day. Soon, Anime Arcade in 2015, Gacha World was released in 2016, Studio and so on.Gacha World
Gacha World is an anime-styled adventure and collecting RPG game made by Lunime. Similarly to previous Gacha games, the player can make a part of five units to battle bosses by collect additional characters via gacha and use them in various battle modes. Character customization is also a major part of the app.Originally called Gacha League, the precursor to the upcoming Gacha games, it generally rips off the game mechanic of Granblue Fantasy. Due to the same reason, Gacha World took as long to decompile as Stick Quest because of unneccessary files, bad coding, script errors, too many .png files that would make the file in general huge, costing about 23GB of decompilation.
GW is the main precursor for Lunime's boom in general, so this is the only example.
Controversies
Gacha Heat controversy and drama
At first Lunime starts out rather "uncontroversial", but it soon garner lots of drama when Gacha Studio, Gachaverse and Gacha Life hits, specifically the Gacha Heat wave since 2017. The deeper you get into Lunime's history, the more worse it gets.Read from the start to understand the community's controversy
Lucas at first felt ignorant about the Gacha Heat wave, and may secretly encourage it, but as soon as Golden Wind and his gang start to dox and peer pressuring him, Lucas went into purging mode and censor Gacha Life's skin censorship until Gacha Club. This is what he says:

During his meltdown, Lucas purged his Twitter, Instagram and half of his YouTube channel because of him getting doxxed by AGLC, and release a public statement about releasing the Gacha 18+ patch for both Gacha Life and Club. During his purge, he took to his Discord server to vent how much danger he is in right now, and how he wants to kill himself to gain respect from other minors. This is back in January 5, 2020 was the time he makes a damage control post after peer pressuring from AGLC, which is why Gacha Life was patched afterwards before Gacha Club was even released.
After the censorship update and GC, he removed it in GL2:


However, another thing I found was that as you test the game further, the censorship shows sign of poor quality. Here is my screen record example:


Only the skin (yellow-to-pink) ones are censored. This preset example is light-skinned, but if you change the example's skin to a different one, you bypassed the censorship and can still make naked characters easily. Even the sexual clothing works the same as the example clothing I demonstrate above. However, the dark skin for the light skin can also be used to make no underwear tights, which only makes the censorship bypassing more easier.
Lolicon, Shotacon (possibly) and possible pedophilia
Video source: Lucas is an open lolicon and a bona fide pedophile. Not only did he actually get passed/defended heavily by children in general, but fellow lolicons would defend him if he could. He has been a lolicon since Anime Gacha, and has multiple presets with suspicious question marks on their age, greatly indicated/implied they are lolis and shotas. Not only that, he also makes loli jokes and make lolis wear sexual thingss like competitive swimsuits, bikinis and lets you touch lolis inappropriately in Gacha Resort of all games. Thank you for @mojibakeguru (Xyo parts in the GLC thread), @mannic (extra info) and @Summertime (signs of being a lolicon) for extra proof.








































































Allegedly, Luni's best friend, Ramunade has bullied Yatcho to a degree that she would block him for one day, which the latter found about it and made a tweet victimizing himself and making Yatcho an evil person in the situation. Because Lucas and Ramunade are extremely close to each other, and the former did not want to hurt him, decided to kick her away from Lunime permanently, which made her suffer mentally for a few years before she returns back to YouTube, she saw nobody actually watches her content and Ramunade gets more popular than her because of Gacha Life:

Due to her using machine translations, Ramunade is mistaken as a female; it also implies that Ramunade is Yatcho's boyfriend. Nothing is known much about this situation aside from screencaps. It is unknown if Yatcho is an underage or an adult. There are yet to be any confirmed allegations to be known to Lucas, aside from his lolicon tendencies and sexual references.
In Lucas' doxbin, it's confirmed that he does also chat inappropriately with a minor before, but the site that hosts these proof has since been long gone and no archives for them exist. Lunime staff tends to sugarcoat these to make sure that the company's innocent as a meaning to deflect criticism.
The Lolicon Menace
Another thing that Lucas also allows, aside from making lolis, are allowing lolicons in his Discord server before; especially certain members in his main server:












































The most noticeable lolicons are a lot, especially the deleted user, Ace; Lander Blazer, Tashtar, Celestial "Alice" Richford and Azarelia Shadowmoon. Before they become family-friendly and catering to zoomers; the server used to make a lot of lolicon, pedophile jokes, and some does openly admit they're lolicons and shotacons directly in the general chat. However, the admins and jannies decided to play along with them as well.
Ripoffs, inappropriate characters, offensive/sexual jokes
Not only Lucas is also a creep, he also makes offensive and sexual jokes as well. He also makes these inappropriate jokes at times in-game when children are playing, and even make sexual assets in-games, even some of his games have 3+ to 9+ ratings that has these. Some examples are these, but in informal formatting and slight exaggerated reactions. Some of Gacha Life minigames are ripped off from multiple game titles like Baldi's Basic, Jetpack Joyride, osu! catch and so on, much like his previous games:










Grownup man and a shota in kindergarten uniforms.





The lopped ear rabbit boy is also a minor, along with the pill-hairpin rabbit girl.






Lifted up skirts of minors.



The catgirl is 14 y.o.











17 y.o for both.



Right girl is 16, center is unknown, left is 21 but still looks like a teen.

Both are 16.

Lucas is 31.





Third one possibly does not wears underwear.



Catgirl is 16 y.o.

Inappropriate curves in front of an audience of minors.




The horned girl is a teenager, whilst the halo woman is an adult. Lilith is 15, and if the horned girl is supposed to be her younger sister, she is also younger than her.

Merutoro/Ramunade is an adult, whilst Meguna is a 300 y.o shota.

Left one is a 300 y.o loli in a high schooler uniform. Right ones are minors.
Gore of minors. Fifth one is 12 y.o.







Lucas also has an another discontinued game "Gacha Paradise". It was initially announced in the Lunime forums and was later discontinued for "unknown reasons". This is an hentai game collaboration between a porn company, Nutaku and Lunime, according to Phantom. Nothing is known about its history aside from its mentioning and brief description of the discontinued project of Lucas'.

Gambling addiction, laziness, tracing, character infringement and lies
Lucas is a lazy weeb
He does not only pull sexual humor, but also openly admits himself to be a crippling gambling addict. By any means, gambling is addictive, and it is a potential danger to your mental health alone:
Unfortunately, he also openly posts his gambling addiction to minors, and is shown to have inconsistent appearances in the GL2 server:


He and Phantom, Keito tends to lie a lot in order to pull the former away from responsibility. Thanking @mannic again for the info needed:


Lucas has shown no proof of discussions between him and that "Djole", and for every checks of the source code, little to no changes at all, and it still triggers right object bugs as common as the previous updates. This shares the same answer when someone pulls up his code or red flags, which he would end up delete the replier's comment and block them, and told his moderators to sugarcoat them. However, "Charlotte" is a false persona, and "her" name has been inconsistently updated game-by-game from Charlie to "Charlotte". A guy named Charlie exists in Lunime and CyanP, and he is Lucas' IRL brother:

Facebook (his name is in Chinese, might had been accessed by someone else besides him) (by @mojibakeguru, thank you again.)











Copyright infringement, botched assets and asset tracing
Lucas is also a heavy tracer and tends to infringe copyrighted characters into his game. This is a no-no to do without the permission of any publishers, especially Kadokawa, Aniplex and so on.Shitty work ethics, competitor a-logging and hatred for modding
Lunime vs. Pixel Dream Labs (Chibimation)
For Chibimation, it is formerly known as "Gacha Designer," began as a Gacha Club mod before branching out to develop a stand-alone game that challenged Gacha Club. It was created by Beowulf and FemLol and began development in late 2021~early 2022. Currently still in development, but its potential popularity is enough to intimidate him. In April 2023, Beowulf received a cease and desist letter from a Lunime Staff member, probably Phantom, requesting that her original game's title be changed. Although the cause is still unknown, fans frequently speculate that Lucas wanted to take the title of "Gacha" because he felt threatened by Chibimation's popularity.

Lucas tried to hire FemLoL, the sole programmer of CM. Beowulf was upset as she felt that Lucas is taking him from her. He even subtly admit the coder is better at coding than he did, as Lucas' coding lessons are from Google.



A Lunime staff (who is definitely told by Lucas) told Beowulf that she needs to delete the offending image from Gacha Shop (which is her another project before Chibimation) or else they will take down CM in iOS and Android. The reason is because Beowulf "used GC's assets" and no other bulk reasons for the cease and desist letter.
TOC is useless




The Terms and Conditions are still frequently ignored, both by Lucas and the players. The main issue with the ToC here is that there are also adult Gacha players that also makes similar types of content like minors that are exploited by pornographic material, and Lucas ignoring criticism to his inappropriate humors, and even the audience tends to make sexual art and edits without caring about the ToC. Even so, they still resort to make offensive and insensitive material with the similar reason. Lucas is also at fault, since this was generally made to deflect criticism from his games.
Fallout of Lunime
Late 2019~early 2020 is where nearly almost all volunteer Lunime artists all left (exceptions are Ramunade, Keito, Hatsya, Harashou, PatientPlayer), specifically PurOrange, 1chi, Senpaibuns (Sleepybunsu), Radd, Teacaku, etc... has left Lunime, due to them did admit they were mistreated by Lucas, but there are yet more than any known screenshots so far. PurOrange has dated Lucas at approximately 2016 to Late 2019/Early 2020, there is yet any info about their relationship, but only proof is shown in her server's rules:
As of 2024, Purorange's Lunime fanarts has since been deleted from deviantArt and other social medias; and only preserved art of her original characters after she disassociate with the team.

After digging, this is confirmed by one of the former Lunime artists, Rambo; that she asked to be disassociated with Lunime due to the company brought her nothing but misery, art theft and undercompensation. This implied that Lucas has also treated the artist horribly, stealing art from others and underpaid her during her time working with Lunime.
Post (A)

Second post was of an another former Lunime artist, Valmavar. The team kicked out him one and a half year ago; leaving him incredibly disappointed after he found out the reason.
Post (A)
One of Lucas' former close friends, whom is also the writer for previous Lunime project, Lander-Blazer; is a confirmed lolicon and creep with a fairy fetish.









His deviantArt favorites have this:
The reason why Lander left was because of the Commander Edu drama in the Lunime Discord. To sum the drama, Commander Edu is the former janny of the Lunime Discord that was permanently banned by the other jannies and admins because he starts to inappropriately chat with a minor. After the ban, and when the drama rises; Lander swiftly left Lunime as a whole and leaving his Discord account dead in order to not involve further into the crossfire. The DM pictures has since been long gone.
