Yahaha Studios announces Asset Ovi, 3D search tool to support game developers
Yahaha Studios has announced the launch of YAHAHA Asset Ovi, a first-of-its-kind platform to help game developers to search for game assets quickly. Using artificial intelligence (AI), Asset Ovi is the go-to platform to search for assets for any level of creators, from students and hobbyists to indie developers and 3D creation experts. Asset Ovi cuts out the middle-man, allowing users to access search for assets across several of the most prominent 3D asset marketplaces through one platform, including the Unity Store, Sketchfab and CGTrader. YAHAHA Asset Ovi is now live, in partnership with Jina AI.
Finding the perfect assets for game creation is not easy for developers. Yahaha Studios conducted research to better understand the challenges associated with the asset search experience. The results showed that 80% of developers spend 10 minutes or more searching for a new game asset across multiple storefronts – making it a time-consuming, as well as difficult and stressful task to find the hundreds of assets required for a new game. With Asset Ovi, creators can browse over a million assets, using search functionality based not only on text but also by model, ensuring they find the specific asset required.
By launching YAHAHA Asset Ovi, Yahaha Studios hopes to help developers create more efficiently. Introducing this new tool to its free-to-use platform, YAHAHA is supporting game developers and creator enthusiasts at all levels to have easy access to millions of assets for free, making the game creation process as easy as possible.
Chris Zhu, CEO at Yahaha Studios, said: “Yahaha Studios is constantly investigating new technologies to support creators – we are passionate about making it easy to make great content and bring imagination to life. When our research showed that some developers were spending hours searching different stores for assets, we wanted to help them. YAHAHA Asset Ovi is a free platform that anyone can use and it is integrated with other storefronts, such as the Unity Asset Store, saving game developers considerable time and frustration searching for the right assets.”
In order to make Asset Ovi as creator-friendly as possible, the platform has announced the YAHAHA 3D viewer. By using this method, assets can be viewed and closely examined prior to making a purchase decision. This tool allows users to examine the fine details of each asset, including wireframe, post-processing and material channels. Asset Ovi uses AI to power its search. Partnered with Jina AI, it supports AI-powered similarity search, making it easy to locate assets. Users can also perform mesh-to-mesh, text-to-mesh, and colour-to-mesh searches. The search engine learns from large data sets, understands the shape, text, and colour of the asset with neutral network algorithms, and finds the most relevant results. The engine will continue to learn as more people use it, meaning it will understand more as time progresses.
Joel Fällbom, Head Teacher of Game and UX Design, at Futuregames, said: “As someone who has spent countless hours looking through every single asset store, finding high-quality assets, with real-time previews, with all the necessary info such as polycount, topology, lods and textures is really time consuming and difficult. In fact, it is close to impossible to navigate and find what you need. YAHAHA 3DSearch solves a real problem for anyone developing a game, I can’t wait to try it.”
In the closing months of 2022, Yahaha Studios announced it had secured an investment of $40 million to further build upon the Early Alpha success of YAHAHA, a creator-focussed user-generated content social platform. YAHAHA is currently open in Early Alpha, offering anyone the opportunity to be among the first to test the platform and share feedback as it continues to grow. This early community has an important role to play in how YAHAHA will evolve, influencing the shape the platform takes and building its digital world.

Scotland-Founded AyeGaming Group Debuts as a Home for Industry Collaboration

A new grassroots digital community initiative, the AyeGaming Group, has been launched on LinkedIn with a clear purpose: to bring people across land-based and online gambling together in an honest, inclusive, and supportive space.
Founded in Scotland by respected industry figures, the AyeGaming Group is already drawing interest from across the iGaming world for its warm approach and people-first mission. The group welcomes professionals from all backgrounds, including operators, suppliers, affiliates, consultants, and creatives, all who believe in shaping a better future for the industry by putting the community at its heart.
The initiative is the brainchild of three passionate advocates for the gambling industry, including co-founders Jennifer Innes, CEO of BettingJobs, and Elaine Gardiner, Managing Director of TAG Media. Together, they’ve created a space where kindred spirits can connect for business and belonging.
“I wanted to be part of driving something locally within the iGaming industry. There truly are so many wonderful people in the sector who either live in Scotland or have relocated to one of the many other global iGaming hubs. Creating a dedicated time and space for us to connect in the form of the AyeGaming meet-up feels important – this is a big, global industry, but it can seem far less imposing when we all come together. It also gives us a chance to reflect on and recognise the impact our Scottish voices have across the iGaming industry as a whole.” said Jennifer Innes.
Elaine Gardiner added: “Jennifer and I have known each other for over 17 years, just as long as I’ve been in the industry. Back in January, we bumped into each other on a flight from Scotland to Barcelona, heading to ICE with a few other industry folks. That’s when we knew it was time to set the wheels in motion for a Scottish gaming meet-up. I’m excited it’s finally coming together and looking forward to meeting more people from across the industry.”
Built on a foundation of Scottish values of fairness, humour and humility, the AyeGaming Group offers something refreshingly human in an industry dominated by deal-making and fast growth.
The group’s first in-person event, the Wee AyeGaming Meet-Up, will occur on Thursday, June 19, at the National Piping Centre in Glasgow. The event promises informal networking, shared stories, and genuine connection in a setting rich with Scottish tradition.
Attendees can expect:
- Informal but meaningful conversations
- Insights from industry leaders across land-based and iGaming
- A warm, inclusive atmosphere to meet kindred spirits
- And, of course, a wee dram and the sound of the pipes
The AyeGaming Group is open to anyone who shares its values, whether based in Glasgow, Gibraltar, Buenos Aires, or elsewhere.
