Dampe, the creator of the 2D Ocarina of Time remake passed away recently from a car accident. I used to follow his project, but then I figured it was never going to happen... but apparently he was still working on it. It's a sad time when someone widely known on the internet dies, let us never forget him.

I feel for them, and it is sad that someone like him to die, especially the way that he did, but to risk being insensitive (which I don't mean to be)... It is also sad that no one took up the project where he left off. I mean, you'd think someone would finish it as a tribute to him...at least that is what some people do with movies/books/etc when the original author passes away, or at least they release what they were working on as a tribute as to what they might have wanted... *shrugs*

Anyways, Dampe rest in peace...

I already have a tribute to him in my custom title

If you really miss Dampe, put "RIP Dampe" or something in your custom title.

This is very sad It's to bad that the site and forums and hopes that this project would be finished are now gone. If only there was someone to finish it for him...

That's awful. The poor guy probably has so much to look forward to in life (and was probably leading a successful one too) and then that.

Not much else to say .. I feel for his family

That's a damn shame. Being hit by a car has to be one of the worst ways to go.

I could make a Zelda joke here, but... no.

RIP Richard "Dampe" Denton
1991 June 16 - 2007 March 21

I would embed Taps here, but I don't think embed tags are allowed.

(On a side note, Seumas McNally died on March 21 too.)

I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry. I admit, I wasn't really looking forward this (kinda expected it meh) but it's always sad when someone dies.

If someone actually said that they're an absolute asshat. Anyway, i've only seen a video of it, but it's tragic that he had to pass away so young. God bless his soul.

Hm. I'm skeptical.

It's so easy to fake a death on the internet when no one knows you in person. And surely there would be some kind of obituary or newspaper report?

That's fucked up.

He's posting about the wrong person anyway There's two OoT2Ds, one by Dampe, and the other by The Real Methuselah, a.k.a. Daniel Barras.

Anyway, R.I.P. Dampe

Not to mean anything, but I first looked at that title and thought of the word "Dante" as some guy from CastleVania...huh.

Car accident, car accident...what type of car accident?

I was looking forward to it (just not following it closely) and I think it was even almost done, after maybe 3-4 years ... and now this happens ...

He was only 15, too

I guess Dampe can spend all his time in a graveyard now, just like in Ocarina of Time!

(P.S. I think it's just a BS excuse to never finish it; if not, it should be finished in his memory)

.... Oh come on asdf, I thought you had a little more decency than that I doubt anyone would be low enough to fake their own death (thus you know, greatly hurting close friends of their who, by the reactions on the forum, seemed legitimately saddened) to get out of finishing a project. I also doubt any of his friends, and such a large amount no less, would agree to to along with such a terrible hoax, apparently his brother included? (at least the first post makes mention of his brother). I am however inclined to believe that someone is low enough to make these kind of commments, thanks for proving that one ;\ come on, even if you truly believe it to be fake is that really appropriate?

I mean, please don't look at it like I don't have a sense of humor, that joke MIGHT have been funny if the poor kid hadn't died, you know? It was just...completely inappropriate given the situation, and you should know that. Mrh.
