THIS PROJECT IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH NEITHER HOYOVERSE NOR GENSHIN IMPACT.
All audio assets and design elements belong to said company.
What started as a small, learning test project, has made its way to be my first ever published creation. I'm very thrilled and excited to be able to share something with the community, as both an average Minecraft and Genshin enjoyer :^)
