Metaparadox

Hello there! I'm Olivia Montoya (she/her pronouns), a 31-year-old former computer science major taking time off from school indefinitely for health reasons, solo hobby dev, zinester, and a graphic designer at my day job. This is giving me more time to work on old projects I had to put on the back burner, so hopefully I'll finally be able to finish one of my games! (I've started a lot...)

List of important identities: queer, bi/pan, asexual, femme, mixed Latine, autistic, chronically ill, atheist, feminist, secular humanist, zinester. I love to write, program, and create art, especially when I can combine all of these into one project! I love SF/Fantasy, magical girl stuff, queer media, superheroes, larping, snail mail, books, cats, and being a massive nerd.

Jams I've Hosted (check my portfolio website for links): 

Ace Jam, Zine Jam, Otherships Jam, Neurodiversity in Games Jam, Aro Jam, Social Distancing LARP Jam, Mixed Feelings Jam, Queer LARP Jam, Release the Magic Jam, Oldweb Nostalgia Jam

Discord Servers I Run:

I also run a Queer Game Dev Discord server! All queer identifying people and respectful Straight+cis people interested in creating queer characters are welcome! https://discord.gg/AxVTMrH 

And the Queer Indie TTRPG Scene Discord server. This one is queer-only, no allies. https://discord.gg/fcFnQkK

I also have one called Zines and Zinesters for people interested in zines and zine culture here: https://discord.gg/DrRyFx9

Check my website for more about my projects! But here's a few current ones:

• Silversiders - Post-apocalyptic dystopian secrets and powers LARP set in a frozen future city populated by mutants (with some world shattering secrets + explorations of queerness)
  
• Reflection of Souls - Medieval science fantasy secrets and powers LARP set on a space station cathedral as various factions vie for control of the future after a deadly plague (and potentially reinvent world-destroying technology)
