With his death, the game, the official OoT2D webpage as well as the forums are closed forever.

    Too bad the whole project is being dropped, why don’t they pass the source code on, so that someone can continue this?
    Then I didn’t know Dampe, so I can’t say what he would’ve liked to be done.
    Pulling the site was a good idea for now, because it would’ve probably been bombarded with RIP messages.
    Rest In Peace fellow developer.
