I tried to download it but when I try to extract the files I get an error
message.
"Everlong_Full..." is not a valid .zip archive! IF you downloaded this file, try downloading again.
Or something like that. Any ideas?


I just double checked the main download and the zip archive is not corrupted. I would suggest trying to download the file again. You can also attempt to open the archive with a different program. I believe I used 7zip, but the Windows archive tool should work, or winzip/winrar.

Hey DJC, where can I get those battler graphics, like the one used for Laverna? I Checked Everlong's website, but the links for the GGZ ones are dead. :o

(Also, I love this game; it's neither too difficult, nor too easy. I've died on several occasions, but I always had fun whenever I play it. Plus, it's "long" enough to keep me entertained for hours on end~ :3)


It's not surprising Gaming Ground Zero is no longer hosting all those old sprites, but I don't know where else you could find the originals. I acquired them years ago like most of the other resources used in Everlong. You can always use the music and graphics files from my game in other projects, but I'm not sure what the best source for RM2K3 resources is now. Maybe Charas Project, but that website hasn't necessarily preserved these kind of original works.

Glad to hear you enjoy the game, I'm always looking for little ways to improve it since I don't have much time anymore.

Cannot beat Aegir at Castle Alveus. Have tried several times. Utterly frustrated at the amount of hours I've put into this thing, only to encounter an unbeatable boss that I HAVE to defeat to move to story forward. One of my MAIN complaints about this game is that there is NO WHERE to level up. The monters on the maps are very few and far between, and sometimes non-existant. I cannot level up, therefore I cannot collect gold to buy potions. This game is SERIOUSLY flawed. One of the worst I've played, and I've played ALOT.


I've had players tell me this battle is both too easy and too difficult. It's designed with the assumption players will use elemental attributes: water protection and lightning attacks. I'll take another look at the balance next time I'm working on a update.

The level up system is an unfortunate consequence of the game's length and the experience curves, trying to spread 99 levels across the entire story. It was a compromise solution to players gaining way too many levels. Maybe there's a new plugin I can use that provides an alternative, like monster XP based on hero level. That way players can continue receiving encounters to win money and drops. Money has almost never been a problem reported by players, however, nor lack of basic items. There's so many to find in dungeons, and you have to fight a ton of battles to reach the encounter caps, I'd hope players would have all they need to buy potions. Thanks for the feedback, I'll give this some thought and see what new stuff is out there for the aging RM2K3 editor. In the meantime, you can always go to the world map, switch to story mode in options, and skip any boss battle to continue the story, then switch back.

Crappy font type. I don't like playing an RPG that I have to struggle to read the story for.


This is a common problem with RM2K3 games, you'll want to install the font patch.

It's available on rpgmaker.net here.

DJC, I just noted that that the Download button redirects to a 404 - Page Not Found:

Also, in the webpage for your game it still shows the SOPA Blackout:

Probably want to fix those two issues ...


Yeah, I blacked out to observe the SOPA protest on January 18th. I didn't restore the website until midday PST on the 19th because I was slept in late. It should all be back online now, and the actual download was always accessible. I appreciate the heads-up, though! Sometimes things go down and I don't notice immediately.

I could not play this game... said that it did not support a function


I'm guessing you received the "Interface Not Supported" error when the game tried to load the logo movie file. You can either choose to skip the prelude to avoid this, or install the codec necessary to play the file. The easiest way to do the latter is to simply play the file in Windows Media Player, and upon failure it will attempt to download on its own. It is a standard Microsoft codec and any Windows based system should already have it installed. The file is located in the Everlong/Movie directory.
