- Toon, on 10/12/2007, -3/+270I tried calling in dead to work before. The second time I tried it, they caught on.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+253He used the infinite health cheat.
- XdigitalXdeathX, on 10/12/2007, -3/+158Saw that coming a mile away...
- PaddyTheChump, on 10/12/2007, -2/+143If he follows in the footsteps of Tupac he will still release the game. No need to worry folks.
- pikpikcarrotmon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+118Wait, if Dampe's not dead how the hell am I supposed to get the Hookshot?
- Waterispoison, on 10/12/2007, -8/+119...April fools?
- theworldisround, on 10/12/2007, -5/+93Pretty low? Don't we all fake our deaths to get out of working at least once in our lives?
- TheNik, on 10/12/2007, -1/+79Can we expect the developers of Duke Nukem Forever to do the same?
- Taffaz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+78Very well written and researched piece. If what you've written is true then it's a pretty low thing to do.
- pikpikcarrotmon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+75Bottled fairy or just a cruel charade?
- EmileVictor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+59^^ Somebody needs a hug! ^^
- BrynoMite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+51I seriously doubt that they'll need to fake their death.
*old age* - Phocion55, on 10/12/2007, -1/+48I believe the term you were looking for was 'nagger'.
- PickledJesus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+42It was damn obvious that he did on day 1, you just had sift through the cries of RIP to see a lot of people saw through the charade.
- dampe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+43Attention Mr. Dampe
I have hijacked your following accounts:
Gmail - dampeoot2d@gmail.com
Youtube - dampe
Myspace - dampeoot2d@gmail.com
Aim - avaluablething
If you would like them back, admit you are not dead.
Thanks, and have a good day. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+41Of course he faked his own death. In the 5 years that OOT2D was being made, less than 1% of the game was ever finished
- Sneakernets, on 10/12/2007, -2/+40What a creative way of saying "I don't wanna do this anymore".
- blobzorz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+37They're already dead to me.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34My site's running a little slow now, so here are two mirrors if it goes down:
http://www.duggmirror.com/gaming_news/Ocarina_of_Time_2D_creator_faked_his_death/
http://squidnews.com.nyud.net:8090/2007/04/01/dampes-not-dead-ocarina-of-time-2d-creator-fakes-his-death/ - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33It was in production for 5 years? That would mean he would have started it when he was 10... from what I saw the artwork/technical skill was slightly above elementary school level.
- HAKdragon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33I think Eddie Izzard said it best, "I was dead at the time"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+32oh look, a self-imporant ass.
and now he's blocked - DeathBorn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26Right before the car crash, he was saved when he yelled "God Mode Turn On!" Paramedics found him lying unhurt in the pile of rubble, and proceeded to say "you're banned."
- IMustBeEmo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27I knew it from the start. All credibility was lost when they claimed he had a girlfriend.
Not to mention Australia has a terrible drought. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25I didn't know George Costanza was a game developer.
- Matt174e, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24"April Fools! He IS dead!"
- greenlight2001, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26seek and ye shall find... your ass blocked.
- mikeazorin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22jockser = dampe, or so the rumors say.
- adeadwaffle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22If that really is his account the ironic thing is in his history the story named "5 Minutes to Kill(Yourself)" is there!
- ShBm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21Consulting police departments and car accident statistics are assumptions?
- buckeye45, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22i hear Richard Denton has been using the alias 'jockser'
- Tunguska, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20We didn't hear about it here in Aus, and you honestly do hear about virtually every suspicious or abrupt death here through the news (especially that of kids') down under.
I say he just wanted to give up. Fair enough. It was a huge project. - gldfshnpcklejar, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22http://digg.com/gaming_news/ocarina_of_time_2d_creator_DEAD#c5833650
Ya, ***** told yall.. - XdigitalXdeathX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Another account of somebody commenting before reading the article...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18I don't think I'm a hotshot investigator. I wrote the article based on the available facts. Richard doesn't get any special treatment just because he's allegedly dead - and dead to a very low standard of proof, at that.
I'll be the first to turn around and issue a correction when I find out that I'm wrong. But until then, I'm sticking to my analysis.
PS what part of "Official road statistics don't back this up" don't you understand? - knodi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17That son of a bitch.
- edeliz, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21It was a Controlled Demolition!
oh wait.. - SultanTravi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17By secede, did you mean you're seceding from Digg? Perhaps to create your own website?
- Skafia, on 10/12/2007, -6/+21Yes. So dampe was responsible for 9/11. It makes so much sense. The physics behind it are indisputable.
- championchap, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18Seems a little extreme to me that he would fake his own death to get out of finishing a hard project.
If it were me.. i'd just open source it and leave it to the community to help finish it off.. no doubt it would be improved ten fold. - muffins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Called BS on the original article and this guy brought up a lot of good points I didn't.
- DeusNova, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Meh, it was probably a mediocre game anyways since it's made from Game maker.
- 1iProd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Makes you wonder why you even had to type that out, you know?
- dudeman88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I think the kid is full of himself.
Really, how much demand is there for a freeware PC game? Christ, just say "I quit" to anyone that has been following the project and let it pass. Don't fake your own death. On the other hand, perhaps this was a ploy to grab the attention of those who were not aware of a 2D Ocarina of Time being made. I, for one, didn't know of this game's existence before this kid's so-called "death." - Retrocide, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13So instead of Manning up and admitting he bit off more than he could chew he fakes his death. Kids these days
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 11/06/2007, -4/+16I've used up all my sick days, I think I'll call in dead.
- BrainDance, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14I was waiting for someone to do this.
Well done, you get a golf clap. - mwharrell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Honetly, he's 15, what did you expect.
- SharinganBob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?PHPSESSID=446d6b7bf3d0d113ad8239eca6cf1980&topic=58796.40
A couple of forum members on there confirm seeing him on MSN and when they messaged him he signed off. However one time he didnt sign off and confessed to faking it. - h3xZ, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Duggy - Me farm or family dies - Love becky says:
I was sick of randoms adding me asking about Oot2D
Duggy - Me farm or family dies - Love becky says:
I give up
Christof | Aaaaaaamy o: says:
...Man. :/
Duggy - Me farm or family dies - Love becky says:
I faked it to kill my reputation
Duggy - Me farm or family dies - Love becky says:

Christof | Aaaaaaamy o: says:
