In 2015, Croteam launched Croteam Indie, a division to support small indie game development teams based in Croatia with investments and co-production. Croteam's first such co-production was Scum by Gamepires, for which a contract was signed in December 2015. The division was later expanded into a business incubator programme providing teams with office space and technology, as well as occasionally financial support. In March 2018, it was formally announced as Croteam Incubator, at the time with six studios based in the same Zagreb office as part of the programme. Among the first games released under the Croteam Incubator banner were I Hate Running Backwards, Tormental, and Battle Bolts. Ribarić acts as the division's president, Nikola Mosettig as vice-president, Damjan Mravunac as chief operating officer, and Zeno Žokalj as marketing and public relations manager.
