Hey, I’m DeadEagle
I am the mind behind Spitfire-Games™ and a lifelong game enthusiast.
Who is DeadEagle?
My name is Daniel, born in 1998 in the Netherlands. Known online as DeadEagle, I'm the creator of Spitfire-Games™ and a passionate game developer. Every project you see from Spitfire-Games™ is built entirely by me (Besides 3D Assets).
Fun fact: What does the name DeadEagle mean? Does it make any sense? Yes, it does! Back in the day, I used to play a lot of CSGO (Counter-Strike), always rocking the Desert Eagle. I landed so many headshots that people around me started calling me "DeadEagle"—Eagle referring to the Desert Eagle, and Dead... well, that’s what happened to the enemy team when I had one.
My Journey
In 2021, when life hit hard, I lost my job and faced some serious health challenges. I turned to something that had always filled my childhood with joy: Battlefield Heroes. I started creating custom maps for Rising Hub as a way to pull myself out of a tough spot and share that spark with others.
Those early projects weren’t just a creative outlet; they sparked a passion for game development that I never knew I had. Experimenting first with Unity, I soon discovered Unreal Engine, and UE4 completely transformed the way I create. Its power opened up a world of possibilities that quickly became the backbone of my work.
Fast forward to 2024, and my games have reached over 100,000 players. Titles like Stewart the Fox and The Stranded Traveler on Steam are just the beginning. I'm constantly refining my skills and exploring new creative frontiers.
Fun Fact: Stewart The Fox originally started as a small project, never intended to become a full game. However, I decided to see if I could get it on Steam. To my surprise, it ended up reaching #4 on the New & Trending (Free) chart!
Spitfire-Games™
Spitfire-Games™ was created in 2022. It's more than a label; it's my creative hub where I experiment, learn, and bring ideas to life. Beyond releasing games, I'm heavily involved in the game development community. I manage an Unreal Engine Discord with over 40k members (as of 2025) and run a coding community where I mentor aspiring developers.
Which Games Do I Like?
I’ve played tons of games throughout my life. I mostly enjoy Call of Duty (especially the older ones – I still hop on Black Ops 2 sometimes in 2025), Battlefield Heroes (my #1 childhood game), Skate 1/2/3, Titanfall, FIFA, GTA, Mario, Crash Bandicoot, and other classics in that vein.
