My name is Shane Newton. I'm a 23-year old amateur level designer who lives in Milwaukee, WI. The only thing I've ever wanted to do was make games. Game design has been a hobby of mine for the majority of my life. I first started drawing maps and layouts for Wolfenstein 3D, and moved on to other games from there such as Doom, my #2 favorite game Hexen, my #5 favorite game Duke3D, my favorite game of all time Quake, my #3 favorite game StarCraft, Age of Empires/Mythology, Half-Life, Doom3, TF2, Portal and my #4 favorite game of all time Prey. All of my maps are done under the name Zwiffle (except for StarCraft), which, if you're interested but probably aren't, doesn't mean a damn thing. It's just a name I was sure wasn't taken when I made it up.
My life's goal is to make it into the games industry as a level designer, preferably at a high-quality game studio around Milwaukee, WI (ie. Madison or Chicago.) I have the ambition of making the most memorable and innovative games I possibly can. I want to be actively involved in development and help shape the final product of any and all projects I work on.
