Yahaha, founded in 2020 by Chris Zhu (CEO), Pengfei Zhang (COO), & Hao Min, is a low-code 3D game creation platform that allows users to make their own games & share them with players. Yahaha offers users millions of ready-made 3D gaming elements that they can use to create unique scenes for their games.
The platform is a gaming multiverse where players & creators can interact socially & share gaming advice & feedback. All of Yahaha’s tools are free to use, & users can create & play on both PC & mobile.
The Yahaha studio for game creation is similar to Unity’s studio, & users are not limited to basic tools. Possibilities include cars that “drive,” interactive environmental assets that players can move, carry, change, & destroy, as well as prefab gaming assets that creators can duplicate & change in tandem. In fact, the options for creators are endless & only limited by their imagination.
Yahaha’s Node Graph provides users with functionality for their games’ logic. Users can create, edit, & use functions. Functions offer creators the opportunity to encapsulate pieces of logic & reuse this logic across the game. The graph also supports dynamic events, such as multiple trigger signals & trigger logic. These tools mean that creators can produce no-code or low-code, dynamic, interactive, multiplayer games in minutes & share them with hundreds of thousands of on-app players.
The platform has received over $50 million to develop its idea, & they plan to improve its tools & library offerings with these funds. In addition to upgrading their tools, Yahaha has plans to allow creators to monetize their games in the future, but for now, they can practice developing games & testing out players’ reactions without having to pay for tools, which is the norm.
Yahaha is democratizing 3D game development, & anyone interested in creating or playing indie-creator games can sign up for a free account, build their unique avatar, & become part of the immersive multiverse of gaming.
