YAHAHA, a revolutionary new social entertainment platform that makes it easy to create 3D content and games, is inviting anyone with a creative mind to be a part of its Early Exclusive Insiders Group. Creatives can sign up now to secure a unique username, ahead of the platform’s Early Alpha launch. These digital pioneers will have a key role to play in the development of YAHAHA, by testing the platform and creating their own content, building a virtual community.
A unique, new user-generated content social platform, YAHAHA is a digital world in which creators and players will come together to combine virtual and real-world experiences. Like TikTok did for video creation, YAHAHA is on a mission to democratise 3D content creation – making it accessible to anyone with a creative mindset to make games and social environments. With an interactive Studio tool, thousands of free pieces of art available to use, tutorials, and peer to peer feedback, it’s easy to unleash creativity. From giving creators the freedom to distribute their content, to offering users the chance to spend time playing games with friends in new and exciting worlds created by fellow players, YAHAHA has it all. If you build it, they can play it.
YAHAHA has a team of almost 100 people, with headquarters in Finland. In January, the trailblazing platform announced that it had secured an incredible investment of $50million; created by a team of Unity veterans, YAHAHA will be built by its players. Ushering in the next generation of social entertainment, YAHAHA unifies the creator and player experiences. Imagine a 3D virtual landscape where friends can come together to create, share, collaborate and play – that is YAHAHA’s vision.
Patty Toledo, Director of Developer Relations at YAHAHA, said:
“Our goal at YAHAHA is to make it easy for anyone with little or no experience to become a digital content creator. Through no-code entry levels, creating a new social environment in YAHAHA is as easy as drag and drop – all you need is a creative mindset and your imagination. The Early Alpha launch is the first phase in a planned schedule of launches throughout this year. By signing up early, users will be able to secure their own unique username, the first step in creating a new virtual lifestyle with YAHAHA.”
Once in YAHAHA, everyone, no matter their level of knowledge, will be able to test the platform, creating a universe of fun social experiences and paving the way for others in the future. Users can hang out, explore social environments, play games or dive into the simple, fun and free to use tools themselves to design something of their own.
YAHAHA will be made up of the following components:
YAHAHA app
YAHAHA will be available to use for free on mobile and PC. Within the mobile and PC app, users can come together across platforms to experience and enjoy YAHAHA’s virtual social experiences. This will include digital worlds and games made by users as well as existing YAHAHA content, alongside relaxing social areas, with a variety of control schemes available.
Within the PC app, as well as socialising, creators are also able to use the Studio tool to build content, to manage their creations and to publish any games or environments they have created.
YAHAHA Studio
The 3D creator tool is where users can build content, games, and worlds using existing assets from the YAHAHA Assets Library with little or no coding experience. Several gameplay components will be provided to help new creators to create. The goal is to make it as easy as drag and drop or leveraging templates to make something new. After creating content, users will be able to save and publish it.
YAHAHA will also be introducing further elements this year, such as personalised avatars: users will be able create their own digital avatar to start a new digital lifestyle – a virtual identity, if you like.
By joining the Early Exclusive Insiders Group, users can secure their own custom username, and be the first to test YAHAHA. Anyone with a creative mind can become a digital pioneer, building this new virtual frontier. YAHAHA is opening an early access programme in March. Staggered content releases will also take place throughout 2022, unlocking more and more exciting features.
Creators can visit the Discord server of YAHAHA to secure a unique YAHAHA username and join the Early Exclusive Insiders Group now.
With YAHAHA, the only limit is your imagination.
