As a woman in the business world, I’m not always thrilled about being celebrated for successes because I happen to be a specific gender. (I’m particularly thinking about things like special awards categories such as “Top Women in XX Industry”).
That said, there is something unique about the role International Women’s Day plays in supporting a more inclusive world – which is something I absolutely can get behind. This year’s theme is
#choosetochallenge and in the words of the organization that supports this initiative:
“A challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change.”
Genshin Impact is a free-to-play open-world action RPG that brings players to the visually stunning world of Teyvat. The player takes on the role of the mysterious Traveler, who sets off on a journey to discover the fate of their lost sibling and unveils the mysterious secrets of Teyvat along the way. Currently, players can explore both Mondstadt and Liyue Harbor, two of the seven major cities in Teyvat, each with unique cultures, stories, and vast surrounding landscapes, and offering a diversity of creatures, monsters, secrets, and hidden treasures for players to discover. Further cities, stories, characters, and seasonal events will be released as the game progresses.

LOS ANGELES / LONDON – March 3, 2021 – ALIBI Music has dropped a new album of professionally composed sound effects (SFX) crafted for use by trailer editors, video game developers and sound designers, among others. Titled Stylized UI, this release is a multipurpose toolkit containing 285 different SFX across 10 categories ideal for any kind of modern-day or futuristic user interface (UI) sound, from electronic handheld devices and computers to complex machines and sci-fi spacecraft. Check it out HERE.
Stylized UI features the work of ALIBI’s longtime partner composer Jeff Dodson and his team, who designed the SFX to be particularly beneficial in boosting the quality of any user interface motion. As an example, the trailer editor cutting a pivotal sci-fi interaction with a hologram can sweeten and make that moment really powerful.
