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

[FatTrucker]

He's a young lad who got a bit out of his depth with a bit of bulls**t. Agreed it would have been better all around for him to simply have fessed up and stated the project was cancelled (or non existent in the first place), but a 15 year old lad doesn't necessarily think that way, particularly when he has a perception that hundreds of people are waiting for him to come good.

Most people have told a few porkies at some point in their life. Its not the end of the world, no one parted with any money or invested any time, so people should just move on and let him sink back into the obscurity he obviously desires.

Enough.

sad that he 'was supposed to be dead' and now insanely flaming coz he's alive?
which is which people?
if he doesn't want to continue the project then?

it's his stuff.
let the kid be, maybe he got scared of the ceist and decist from nintendo (which I think the most probably reason)

I’m glad someone could point out things like this. I agree completely.

April Fool’s Day!

His YouTube account is showing that he logged in 4 hours ago.

If you search myspace using his email address,
http://www.myspace.com/winngrin
is the only place to come up in the search results, and…
“Last Login: 3/31/2007″

So…I’m inclined to believe this, as well.

Also, he apparenly has posted a Youtube bulletin and a comment on his page under his own name, claiming he has died. Clearly, he has a different idea of what an april fools joke entails.

If he did fake his dead, you must not blame him for doing so. I know how high the pressure can get, and the easiest way to escape is saying you’re dead.
If you’d say you’d just stop the project, you’d feel a lot of guilt, especially because all the people would ask you why, how and so on.

Respect for dampe though.

Well, you try being his age and having the load of releasing a highly-anticipated software title on your shoulders - you may see things slightly different.

[Yoster]

So is the project still going?

[Jale]

Probably not. Seems like he's really dead, according to this note, but this doesn't prove anything:

Huh?? He really is dead now? im confuzzled o_0

[~!!WhoCares!!~]

Ok so which is it. Is he really dead??? Or is he still alive!!?? This is so confusing.

[Jale]

No-one knows at the moment, but I think he's more dead than alive. The info I got above was from Dampe's forum.

Hack story is hilarious.

This guy is a nut job. I do beleive he still is alive because his youtube account has been active.(I love youtube!!!!!) I checked my self!!!
Also his Myspace has shown some activety so ethier he still is alive. or some one else is using his Myspace and youtube.

No, he is alive and he use his both accounts.

He is really wrong to use the word "death" because it is too offensive and not funny.
