Metaparadox

Hello there! I'm Olivia Montoya (she/her pronouns), a 30-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 Latinx, 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, 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

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
