YAHAHA to Offer Sneak Peek of its Text2Game Generative AI at San Francisco’s Game Developer Conference 2023
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.
With the trend of AI integration in various industries, the relevancy of incorporating AI into products and services increases. YAHAHA would like to ensure its community is able to utilise this capability in their development and understand its significance as they use it.
With this note in mind, YAHAHA would like to invite all like-minded individuals and community members to join them in an open discussion to better define the requirements for creators on UGC platform paving the path towards AIGC.
In addition to the showcase, YAHAHA Studios will host four technical talk sessions. These sessions will cover topics such as data-oriented design, runtime game editors, stylised worlds, and no-coding gaming platform architecture.

Stats Perform, the global leader in sports AI, data and technology, has announced an official data partnership with the Northern Super League (NSL). The partnership will allow world-leading Opta data to be collected live from every NSL league game for the next three years.
Beginning this month, the Northern Super League (NSL) establishes a new era in Canadian sport as the country’s first professional domestic women’s soccer league — an ambitious and transformative initiative co-founded by former Canadian international and Olympic medallist Diana Matheson. Its inaugural season kicks off on April 16 and will feature six teams who have assembled multinational player rosters with extensive club and international experience, including 100-cap Canadian internationals Desiree Scott and Quinn.
Once the action begins, detailed data from every on-ball event, including advanced AI-powered Opta Analytics metrics such as Expected Goals (xG) and Expected Assists (xA), will be captured and distributed via feeds and Stats Perform products, including OptaAI Studio. This will enable various broadcasters, publishers and rights holders to generate stories and insights throughout the NSL season and provide them straight to the league’s fans in real time.
As part of the agreement, the NSL’s League Office and every NSL club will also have access to Opta Search, part of OptaAI Studio. This will allow their content creators to leverage all Opta data collected during the NSL season in the creation of data-led stories on the stand-out performers, and will help them generate key talking points for publication on official league and club platforms. Opta Search will also empower the NSL’s media team to create a range of data visualizations, including player shot maps and touch maps, to visually illustrate the impact of different players’ on-field performances.
Christina Litz, NSL President, said: “We are thrilled to have Stats Perform on board as our official data partner. When we talk about detailed performance data in soccer, Opta is the gold standard, so we are delighted to have it powering each of our official digital channels. As the season progresses, we want to put the spotlight on all the on-field heroes who emerge and having access to world-class data will help us tell their stories and inspire a new generation of Canadian soccer fans.”
Steve Xeller, Chief Revenue Officer at Stats Perform, said: “Stats Perform has been a huge supporter of expansion leagues around the world, so we are very pleased to be partnering with NSL in the lead-up to their first domestic campaign. Seeing a fully professional women’s soccer league launch in Canada is an incredibly exciting development for the sport in North America and we see considerable potential in working proactively with the League’s Head Office to help the competition grow, using the power of AI and data-led storytelling to build fan communities across the continent.”
