Some of you may remember Sunbeam by Falken Entertainment, a very promising looking french RPG for the GP32.

Sadly, the developers have stopped with that project.
However, they have released playable binaries for the GP32 and the sourcecode (and graphics), so that anybody who wants to pick that project up (or port it to a different system) can do so.

Sad that they've discontinued the project - I remember thinking this was one of thos egames that would really show what the old 32 could do. On the other hand, cool that what there was is now released. I wonder how complete it actually was, and how easily portable to the 2x it might be...
 
I remember when this was announced. It's too bad it got cancelled (though I can't say it surprised me)--especially since they made such nice artwork for it. Of course, the logo's a rip of Golden Sun, but maybe the whole game was based on that. I should try it and find out. :P
 
Pretty cool, can't figure out how to equip weapons or anything but it's looking nice :) Too bad there's a lot of gfx glitches off the main first area...

It's pretty incomplete (gamewise) but it is open source so hey, can't complain there :)
 
Seems like it's not much more than a proof-of-concept :(

Still, depending on the license, the media included could make a great game if someone decided to continue development.
