What is the Indie Dev Lounge?
The Indie Dev Lounge (IDL for short) is a sub-series that is dedicated to the Brothers' love of Indie Developers. We know that the video game world is a cluttered world with games of all shapes and sizes but we here at CGB have respect and love for the small developer who creates a game out of passion. So we have decided that we will dedicate a special line of programming to the Indie Developer and bring it to your listening ears.

Our Commitment to you:
Unlike our regular program that we have committed to getting to your ears every Sunday, the Indie Dev Lounge is part of our "Extra Content". That is just our way of saying that we are bad at doing anything outside our core programming. We are hoping in 2021 to release more episodes (with actual interviews) and these episodes will be released on Wednesday instead of Sunday. If they have an interview component they'll be as long as the conversation, if they are a highlight of a game they'll generally be shorter.

Format
So what makes an IDL episode different then a standard CGB episode, you already have guests on CGB what makes this different? Good question! An IDL episode will be specifically around one particular Indie Dev Game/Developer. The episodes also cut out the Recently Played and B/W/P & Is It Really That Bad segments from the show as well. Furthermore the intro/outro are changed because why not?
The Episodes
Episode One - Trophy
Trophy is a brand-new action platformer for the original Nintendo (NES). It is a love letter to such iconic games as the Mega Man series and Capcom Disney titles, featuring colorful characters, vibrant backgrounds, and giant bosses. The game features the classic movements of running, jumping, and shooting, and strives for a pure platforming experience, unhampered by excessive power-ups or useless abilities. Although the emphasis is on purity, Trophy features advanced technical features which have rarely been used in homebrew titles.
