2-D "The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time" Creator Died In Car Accident.

[Jale]

I made this thread because some of us won't bother to read the whole thread to find out why this game will never see the light.

Most of us remember that thread I made months ago about a 2-D Ocarina Of Time game. The creator of this game, Richard (Dampe') Denton died in a car accident in March 21st, 2007 at 4:00 PM.

It is still unknown about what happened there, but there's a sure thing: The project is officially over. By request of Richard's family, the game, alongside with the forums and site will be terminated and no demo will be released.

May his soul rest in peace.

To the administrators/moderators: you can now close this thread and continue discussion here.

sigh, I was about to post this just now, anyway, you're lucky if you still have the demo, it was written in GM6 [game maker 6]

any [lucky guy] who's able to obtain the source can continue the project.
[BUT]
as per the family requests, it is now DISCONTINUED

may his soul rest in peace.
--any idea how old the guy was?--

ooh, I saw this on some guy's siggy from some forum

91 - 07? so basically he's in his early teens, talent in such early age.
RIP

He received a cease and desist letter from Nintendo, closed the Project and used the dead issue as decoy, although I know that sounds disrespectful, but people will surely think of various stuff when shocked.

Hope someones finishes it. Dead guys get memorials, and can't think of a better way to honor his hard work.

There's a rumour that Dampe' is still alive. Can anyone confirm that?

Ocarina Of Time 2-D creator fakes his death.

Maybe conspiracy theories are true once in a while.

Looks like hes alive after all...

From squidnews.com

Update: Solitary Angel posts on Gaming World Forums:

The thing that kind of makes this topic worse is that Dampe’ is very much alive…
By signing on with an older MSN account (not just me), a few people found out that he was in fact still online…

His reasons for wanting people to think he is dead was so that they would stop adding him and asking about OoT2D, and to also kill his reputation, stopping whatever pressures he may or may not have been under to complete his game…

Nonetheless a lot of us are pissed off and I just thought I’d say this before more RIP posts pop up.

He's such a pussy. Faking his death to avoid pressure. A pussy indeed.
