I Thalassa background

Hej Liuk ;(

Who I am

I am Manuel Hosseini, a game developer with a strong background in 3D animation, modeling, visual effects, and technical art. I created San Liuk.

Recently, I collaborated as a VFX & Technical Artist on ERA ONE, a game that reached over 200,000 wishlists on Steam in EA. I worked on real-time visual effects, shaders, and technical art solutions using Unity HDRP.

My journey and experience in game development have led me to focus on my own project, I Thalassa, a sci-fi exploration game.

My expertise spans multiple industry-standard tools and pipelines.
Born in 1995 in Italy with Iranian heritage, I explored my artistic side through painting and graffiti before moving into technology. I studied languages and later Chemical Engineering at the University of Bologna.
My passion for creativity and technology led me to work on a variety of indie and commercial games, developing both single-player and multiplayer experiences for mobile and PC platforms.
