I just started this project over Thanksgiving break. It is going to be an old school kind of rpg with things from newer games. I got the idea from an old game I played called Lad. I am doing the programming and my brother is doing most of the art.
Here's a screenshot:

I still have a lot to do, but I am going to make this the first big project I complete.
Here's a list of what is done:
movement
item pickup
screen layout
Here's a list of what I am working on right now:
Drag and drop for inventory
Potions automatically go to quick slot
There will be more to come.
