Interactive Indies is a bi-weekly community podcast featuring the stories from the people that make up our interactive, game development and creative communities both locally and abroad.
Since 2017 we have invited members of various creative industries in Winnipeg to sit down and share a deeper conversation. Through these conversations we are able to learn much more about all the diverse and unique group of people that populate our various creative communities. Through the podcast we are able to share their stories and shine a light on these people as we strengthen the bonds that bring us together.

#25 - Mike Safioles
3D Artist at Zenfri Inc, and these days I do a lot of procedural / technical environment art with SideFX Houdini, Substance Designer, and Unity. I have a few years of experience in the 3D industry here in Winnipeg, having worked with Electric Monk Media and Tangent Animation in the past. I'm a DMD + 3DCG grad from Red River College too! I love finding ways to automate or improve the efficiency of art stuff, so I end up fiddling around with Houdini both at work and at home.
I listen to a lot of metal, and play a lot PC games and Magic. I'm a big fan of dark coffee and dark beer, but not at the same time. -

#22 - Steve Chubaty
Game Developer (Surprise!), Avid Learner, King in the North? I've worked on a variety of games for a variety of platforms and game jams are one of my favorite things on the planet. I enjoy games that create interesting social situations, be it board games which I have an excessive love for, video games, or playing sports of any kind (but never ask me to watch them!). I spent 3 years in Nunavut freezing my butt off, going on wild adventures, and conquering the North. Now I've come back to Winnipeg to do the same!
