Ocarina of Time 2D - Image 1 


Well, if it isn't April Fools Day, it's certainly a time for strange news. As reported on digg.com">Digg and first broken by Squid News, it seems that Richard "Dampe" Denton, the creator of video game Ocarina of Time 2D, may not actually be dead.

The post on Squid News outlines a rather plausible account of fact-checking the events behind Dampe's death. Furthermore, it seems his accounts on MSN and MySpace have remained active, which does indicate that someone's using his accounts, at the very least.

Unfortunately, due to the timing of this news, we're still calling this a rumor for now. It could just be a very bad joke, but it also could be an attempt of the developer to get away from the pressures of having to work on OoT2D. In either case, we're hoping more evidence points to his being alive than dead, just so everyone can breathe a sigh of relief.

If he wanted to get away from the pressures of development, he could have told the community, "Hey, I'm taking a break from this for a while". That would be the logical thing to do. Although the evidence that the death was fakes seems worth considering, I just dont think any intelligent human being would fake death to get out of developing a piece of freeware.

That begs the question: What defines "intelligent" these days?

You know, it could be one of his friends or family members on his accounts making sure the word that he died has been passed around. It's happened....

It could be that his accounts are active due to his family going through his friend's list and telling them the bad news.

# Why do people pull crap like this?Guest 2007-04-01 17:37
If he was tired of working on the game why didn't he just say "I'm taking a break now..."? It's not like anyone was paying him to make ocrina 2D... He can just say "I don't feel like doing this. Tee Hee." and no one could do anything about it... No need to fake your own death.
