My newest project will be called Pennington's Jewel. I've only just started it(all I have done so far is a few of the sprites and an ever firmer idea of the architecture) but basically the idea is that I've noticed of all the games here there aren't really any story lines. So, I decided to make an RPG style game(it's going to be kind of like Legend of Zelda style... although with some major differences) that will have a full story line. Anyway, this is more of a heads up than anything else, since I don't have enough to show anything yet but I'll start posting things (videos, screenshots, the game itself, etc) as they become available.
Update: I've done a little bit of work in setting the game engine up and decided to make a VERY small demo of the game available. Note that right now there is no story line, no bad guys, no weapons. It's pretty much just showing that my system for dealing with maps read in from text files works correctly and to show what the art looks like right now, as well as showing the(admittedly basic) collision detection, so basically you can walk around a very small area complete with a building(which you can't enter), a road, and some trees.
