Alayan began to play STK in the days of STK 0.7.3, and started to contribute actively in 2017, playing an important role in the lead up to the 1.0 release. Upon Hiker’s retirement from the project in 2019, Alayan became co-leader of STK. After a period away from the game, he came back in 2023 to lead efforts towards a new major version.

Sven started to play STK in 2016 on a very old PC. Because of that he could only play the 0.8.1 version, although at that time 0.9.2 was the newest one. But still he started to learn blender to create his own tracks. After several addons, Black Forest was his first track used in the main game, and he has gone on to improve his artistic skills. He is now working on many new tracks that will feature in SuperTuxKart Evolution.
