ABOUT — THE PLAYER BEHIND THE UNIVERSE

PLAYERone, READY

Vasilis Lyras. Senior Unity developer, XR specialist and co-founder who still opens Blender for fun. I build things people don't want to put down.

01 MANIFESTO
I started in games design at Brunel, fell into Unity and VR, and never saw a difference between a game and a product. A VR data experiment and a web3 creature platform are the same problem: build a system that feels alive and make people want to stay inside it. That belief runs through everything the studios I worked for, the companies I co-founded, the projects I keep shipping.
