Available for free to both creators and players, YAHAHA offers its hundreds of thousands of users the freedom to build their own unique games and environments for others to enjoy.

With YAHAHA, anyone with a creative mindset has access to a plethora of options to help create their own games and virtual spaces, with easy-to-use tools to create multiplayer 3D content.

Its unlimited range of assets supports users at all levels to build their own signature style. With an endless supply of options to choose from, there has never been a better time to try creating a game or social experience. The one million high quality assets combined with YAHAHA’s AI-based search engine means that creators can now make games and environments quickly, without compromising on quality of assets.
Yahaha Studios was founded in 2020 by a pioneering group of Unity veterans, with the aim to support everyone to create, publish, share and play content on its YAHAHA platform. The social entertainment platform supports users of all levels to create 3D content: lowering barriers to entry with no-code creation, tutorials and now over a million assets. YAHAHA has grown since it launched in Early Alpha this year, and recently announced it had secured a $40M investment to further support creators. Thousands of games and social experiences are now available on YAHAHA to play for free, with creators adding more each day. This new range of innovative assets are available for anyone to use, compatible across platforms including iOS, Android and Desktop.

One of our goals is to continuously give our creators new materials to design and engage with, whilst lowering the barriers for 3D content creation.
“We love to see all of the amazing creations that are developed on YAHAHA, using our extensive range of assets. We have partnered with great renowned asset marketplaces this year, such as Synty Studios and CG Trader, and we are looking forward to some more partnership opportunities in 2023.”
David Mullich, Director of the critically acclaimed Heroes of Might and Magic III, said: “I find YAHAHA to be a great platform for quickly and easily transforming my designs into playable games. It is also a valuable tool for enabling game design students to create professional-looking prototypes without first becoming adept in programming language. Anyone who is interested in game development can leap into YAHAHA, I would definitely recommend you try it out!”
YAHAHA has partnered with multiple asset marketplaces to give its users a wider range of creative and diverse materials. The first marketplace, CG Trader, was announced earlier this year; with over 1.5 million models in its marketplace, CGTrader is truly pioneering and one hundred percent designer-friendly. YAHAHA has also partnered with Synty Studios, an innovative 3D asset publisher. This partnership introduced even more high-quality, game-ready assets, so YAHAHA users can develop more diverse and fun virtual spaces.
YAHAHA is the next generation of entertainment and will be sponsoring and hosting the 2023 Global Game Jam, to give creators a chance to unleash their creativity on the platform.

Rapidly expanding content provider serves up a juicy sequel in Bonanza Trillion
Popular iGaming content provider BGaming is excited to announce the launch of Bonanza Trillion, the highly anticipated sequel to the hit slot, Bonanza Billion.
The game builds on the success of its predecessor while also upping the ante with a range of captivating features, enhanced visuals, and higher volatility.

Zimpler Live With Swish As First Payment Institution Ever
For the first time, businesses can now offer Swish without signing their own bank agreements. Zimpler’s new direct connection simplifies and speeds up onboarding across industries.
Zimpler, a leading Swedish company in Pay-by-bank solutions, today launches Swish Handel (Swish Commerce) and Swish Utbetalningar (Swish Payouts) for its partners. The company becomes the first non-bank operator ever to integrate directly with Getswish, the company behind Sweden’s most widely used payment method. For the first time ever, Swish can now be offered directly through a payment institution, without applying through a bank.
“This is a turning point for the Swedish payments market. By opening Swish beyond the banks, we are not just simplifying payments, we are reshaping how businesses can access one of the most trusted payment methods in Europe”, says Johan Strand, CEO of Zimpler.
“This is also an important step in the stability of the Swedish financial ecosystem, which has recently seen recurring disturbances and downtime. Through our focus on the Swedish market and our long experience of payment infrastructure, we can improve the customer journey with a more stable and reliable payment experience.” Strand adds.
Until now, access to Swish has required a direct banking relationship, a costly and time-consuming process that excluded many companies, especially in regulated industries and for international businesses. With Zimpler’s direct participation, businesses of all sizes can now access Swish faster, at lower cost, and with greater stability.
Swish also highlights the significance of the step:
“Swish has always been about speed, security, and ease of use. By opening up to Zimpler, we can now reach more companies and industries than before. This is an important step to meet the growing demand for flexible and secure payments,” says Urban Höglund, CEO of Getswish.
Market impact
- Increased stability: As more providers can offer Swish, dependence on individual banks decreases and the resilience of the financial ecosystem increases
- Focus drives quality: Unlike banks, specialized providers can focus entirely on the service, delivering higher service levels for both end customers and businesses
- Lower costs and faster onboarding: Businesses can now avoid lengthy onboarding processes
- Access to Sweden’s largest payment network: 8.7 million Swedes and 300,000 companies use Swish
- Wider application: International and regulated businesses can now offer Swish to their Swedish customers
- Future expansion: Zimpler may also act as a Swish provider for other payment service providers, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape
The launch also signals a broader shift in Sweden’s financial ecosystem. With account-to-account (A2A) payments growing rapidly across Europe, Swish’s opening to new types of operators could accelerate competition with card networks and change the role of banks in the payment ecosystem.
