YAHAHA Studios, a no-code “metaverse for games”, will be showcasing, for the first time,  its brand new AI technology platform at Game Developer Conference 2023 as a diamond partner. The new AI technology features over 1 million+ 3D assets for creators and the platform is on the road to working with potential upcoming AI partners.

At the event, YAHAHA Studios will showcase popular AI-generated content services as part of its features to make game creation and development easier and more efficient- creating a revolutionary turning point in the democratisation of 3D content creation.This feature is part of the YAHAHA product enhancement pipeline where creators can interact with new generative-AI-powered capabilities. The platform provides over  1M + 3D assets for users to create in their own space, which makes it a very valuable and impactful 3D game service platform.

The increasing integration of AI in various industries highlights the importance of incorporating this technology into products and services. As a community-driven platform, YAHAHA recognises the need to equip its users with the knowledge and tools to fully harness the potential of AI in their development efforts.

Chris Zhu from YAHAHA says “YAHAHA is revolutionising the future of game generation by empowering developers with our user-generated content platform. And now, with the integration of AI technology, we’re taking it to the next level, enabling users to create games smarter, faster, and more efficiently than ever before.”

“We believe that the integration of UGC and AIGC is a natural step forward for the gaming industry. As we move towards AIGC, we want to highlight why transitioning from UGC to AIGC is a natural and easy step. UGC was created to enable users to showcase their creativity without being hampered by the lack of knowledge in programming. AIGC allows natural language to be used to continue this focus of enabling creativity without the need for programming knowledge.” said Zhu.
