Certainly. The most recent promising one is Pandunia. There was also Lingwa de Planeta, which I personally love and wish was more widely spoken... unfortunately there was a guy several years back who spammed the crap out of Esperanto speakers about it, which turned most of them off. I myself didn't get too into it until after it had mostly faded away.

Note also though: learning Esperanto doesn't mean committing to it as an international auxiliary language. It's a great exercise in and of itself, has a very broad and diverse community and great body of literature, and the more you learn it, the more you see just how much there is beyond the sanitized advertising image you generally read in English. Both good and bad. Above all, it's the auxlang that is (edit: socially/communally) closest to a natural lang, purely in the sense of how much is available in the language.

If you are looking for an a priori auxiliary language, check out Kotava. Luce Kotavusik on YouTube is single-handedly bringing it to popularity with her extremely fluent and funny video journals.

Or if you want a really odd language that is in the process of revitalization, check out Solresol, the musical language. However, please avoid anyone affiliated with "La Lasîrela". They have a history of defending transphobes and one of its moderators was involved with a harassment scandal.
