A studio of one.
Plus Donna.

FullSpeed Games is the solo indie game studio of Darius Rosendahl in Zwolle, Netherlands. Its first game, Donna's Quest, starts with the dog beside his desk.

Darius Rosendahl

Developer & founder

I make the games, write the words, and answer the emails. There is one desk, a long list of things to fix, and Donna next to me.

By day I design and build websites under the DoorDarius name. FullSpeed Games is my game studio. In the hours around my web work, I build Donna's Quest: the rooms, the attacks, the worlds, and everything in between.

I chose short roguelike runs because every run should be worth playing on its own. Quick and heavy attacks, three places to learn, and elemental powers that change a run. A game I want to play, about the dog I live with.

Dachshund & inspiration

Donna is my real dachshund. In the evening she sits on the armrest of the couch between her people, watching whatever is on TV.

That became the premise of Donna's Quest. The title screen is our living room. Donna falls asleep watching a knight on TV, and the dream where she becomes that knight is the part you play.

FullSpeed Games makes the game. Donna is the inspiration for it, and the hero inside it.
