Experience game creation like never before with Co-Create, the groundbreaking tool by YAHAHA Studios, the number one mobile co-creation platform. This new feature driven by AI makes it easier than ever for game creators to create their very own no-code game- with a vast library of 3D assets and a creator-first approach, YAHAHA unites the User Generated Content community and breaks down barriers to game creation on UGC platforms. Their cross-platform game editor empowers people to work together seamlessly, transcending device limitations and fostering a truly collaborative digital gaming experience.

YAHAHA’s Co-Create game editor is the first of its kind, and users can expect to produce the highest quality and the most diverse content in the game to date. Most importantly they can do this from anywhere – bridging the gap between PC, Mac, and mobile. Backing the principle that ‘anyone can YAHAHA’.  This brand new collaborative cross-platform tool makes teamwork easy and cost-low while increasing UGC abilities for all creators- and the tool supports various genres of games including the likes of Racing, Survival, Shooter, Casual games, and more.

The idea behind this project was driven by two key factors. Firstly, the team believes that anyone has the potential to be a game creator and should be able to easily build their own worlds, games, and scenes, regardless of their skill level. The aim is to provide an inclusive and enjoyable experience where individuals can have fun and connect with others without being constrained by device compatibility or other limitations.

The platform boasts many advanced capabilities , including a seamless UI,  easy to use functionality, stability, and interactivity, enabling users to develop and experience games more efficiently. YAHAHA’s voice chat feature creates an ideal co-creation place for game developers, and its drag-and-drop functionality makes it extremely user-friendly. Real-time cloud storage and one-click sharing provide the smoothest game experience, with an environment tailored for cooperation and communication among players.

The core concept behind the collaborative game editor is to make the process of game creation enjoyable and to inspire users to continuously create captivating content. The team wants every user, whether part of their community or not, to embrace their creativity and invite friends and family to join in the fun and joy of game development.

The team’s ultimate goal with the collaborative game editor is to make it accessible to everyone. They prioritise a no-coding requirement, recognising that not all users possess coding skills. By introducing basic components that empower game objects with different abilities, the team ensures that users can create games without needing to write code- leaving creators to let their imagination run wild and combine these components to generate millions of interesting props.

YAHAHA’s Co-Create function is perfect for developers who want to collaborate with others and create something new and innovative. This appeals to all different types of YAHAHA audiences including game developer influencers who want to engage with their followers and co-create content that resonates with them, friends who enjoy expressing their creativity and exchanging ideas with like-minded people easily, and even schools and educational institutions looking to foster a collaborative learning environment. Additionally, businesses and organisations interested in engaging with their customers and co-creating content can do so using YAHAHA which aligns with their brand.

Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.

Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.

Recognizing Early Signs

“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:

Exhaustion and Irritability

Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.

Gaming Obsession 

If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.

Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests

A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.

Emotional Volatility

Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.

Physical Strain

Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.

Neglecting Basic Needs

If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.

Creating a Supportive Environment

While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.

Teamwork and Setting Boundaries

“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.

Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.

Open Communication

Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.

Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”

SPGA Introduces Code of Conduct to Highlight Member Commitment to Compliance and Safety in Social and Promotional Gaming

Published

The Social and Promotional Gaming Association (SPGA), an organization dedicated to providing stakeholder education and advocating for the responsible operation of social games offering promotional sweepstakes prizes, today announced the implementation of a Code of Conduct for its operator members.

The Code of Conduct is designed to spotlight the processes and technologies already in place at both SPGA member sites and the majority of social casinos offering promotional sweepstakes, also referred to as social sweeps games.

Social sweeps games combine the established social casino model, on which Americans have spent over $40 billion in the last decade, and add promotional prizes. No purchase is necessary to win prizes, and the vast majority of users play for free.
The foundational pillars of the Code of Conduct include the application of regulation-grade suppliers, technology, or policies to ensure: 
  • Age verification to limit real money play to users 18 and older

  • Proper identity verification (Know Your Customer or KYC) 

  • Location verification of customers 

  • AML policies to ensure proper transaction monitoring

“The pillars of the SPGA Code of Conduct highlight the technology and processes already in place at most social sweeps operators to ensure that the millions of adults who enjoy these games do so in a safe and reliable environment,” said Camilla Wright of Red Knot Communications, a spokesperson for the SPGA. 
“The standards of the Code of Conduct go above and beyond the accepted best practices for traditional social casinos.”
In the months ahead, the SPGA will release more details on the Code of Conduct, introduce additional pillars, and engage an external firm to certify member compliance with the Code.  
“We look forward to continuing to develop the Code of Conduct to further strengthen the commitment of SPGA members to compliance and player protection while providing consumers with a highly social and engaging experience that is always free to play,” said Wright.
