Yahaha Studios

Yahaha is a UGC-based, low-coding game creation platform and game distribution platform founded in 2020. Created by ex-Unity veterans, Yahaha's goal is to build a user-generated content platform for 3D interactive experiences, where people can come together in communities to build and play games combining virtual and real-world elements.

The platform has been gradually extended to support a variety of desktop and mobile platforms. Yahaha's goal is to "democratize" game development and make the development of 3D multiplayer interactive content more accessible.

History and development
Yahaha was founded by ex-Unity veterans. After Yahaha launched its alpha in April of 2022, it gained a community of over 100,000 developers and 200,000 registered users for its platform.

YAHAHA Asset Ovi
In February of 2023, Yahaha Studios announced the launch of their 3D asset search tool, Asset Ovi. It allows users to search assets from other 3D asset marketplaces such as Sketchfab and the Unity Asset Store in one platform.

Events
Throughout the 2023 Global Game Jam, Yahaha hosted 110 people live at their site in Helsinki over the course of 48 hours, making it the country's largest hybrid-jam site. The jammers created 80 games, collaborating both on-site and through the online community, with some of the games created receiving as many as 34 thousand plays to date.
