We’re excited to share that Scyte Studios has been selected as one of three studios chosen for the TUEI Power Up Accelerator 2025/2026, alongside Shiverbug Studios and Pondering Panda.
The TUEI (Teesside University Enterprise & Innovation) Power Up Accelerator is a competitive programme designed to support early‑stage businesses founded by Teesside University graduates. Rather than an award, it’s a pitch‑based selection process, studios present their vision, business plan, and long‑term potential, and only a small number are chosen to join the cohort.
Being selected means we receive:
- subsidised studio space for a year
- a £2,000 software grant
- mentorship in legal, business, and operational development
This support has already been transformative. The dedicated workspace gives us room to collaborate and grow, the software grant has strengthened our production pipeline, and the mentorship has helped us navigate the realities of running an indie studio.
Scyte Studios was founded in July 2025 by three Teesside University graduates: Yenum Opone (Programming Lead), Ruixin Wu (Producer & Lead Game Designer), and Shoong Herng (Art Director) , united by a shared passion for creating games with soul and building a studio with long‑term ambition.
Being selected for Power Up marks a major step forward for us, and it’s only the beginning.
