    Marianne Gagnon (aka Auria): Main Developer

    I joined the SuperTuxKart team a few years ago, originally to help with the graphics. I quickly started doing programming on the game’s core, especially the GUI and the various blender plugins. My little experience in blender allows me to sometime help with artwork and track making.

    Jean-Manuel Clemençon (aka samuncle): Lead Artist

    I’m the lead artist of SuperTuxKart. When I installed for the first time Linux in 2009, while searching for games available on Linux, one of the most popular game was SuperTuxKart. I started to mod maps for fun and eventually I made my first map, Hacienda. After more than 7 years working for SuperTuxKart, I created some of the most complex and challenging tracks like Cocoa Temple or Antediluvian Abyss. My last project was to create an haunted mansion to showcase our android version and designing our new website.

    I started playing SuperTuxKart release 0.7. A few releases later, I came across a very helpful tutorial series by LinuxGuides about creating STK tracks using Blender, and that was the point where I started my first projects for STK, most of which are now avaible on STK Add-ons website. My modeling skills improved gradually over the years, and one of my latest projects entitled “Ancient Colosseum Labyrinth” was included as an official arena in the 1.3 release of STK.
