| Favorite animated show |
Insert Jojo reference here. Also the Dragon Ball series for sure because that's what started it all. My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, Dr. Stone too. Non-anime (kinda) however, the Avatar series (ATLA and Korra) too. |
| Favorite non-animated show |
Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Game of Thrones. House gets an honorable mention. |
| Favorite movie |
Not much of a movie person, idk. I did force myself to watch the Marvel movies and they weren't bad to be honest so, yeah, Endgame I guess. |
| Favorite video game |
I don't play much of anything so in terms of nostalgia there's Tomba 1 and 2, Spyro, Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter among others. The original Genesis Sonic games are up there too. |
| Favorite food |
Orange chicken but, like, not the authentic kind. More like the sugar-chicken version where it just rots your teeth away as you eat it. |
| Ralph started making Stick Nodes one day because he was bored. He grew up practically addicted to a stickfigure-animation program called Pivot which sparked his interest in both animation and game development.
Eventually he got into Flash animation and Flash game development. He released quite a few games into the Flash gaming community, check out his portfolio for links.
Once mobile devices started taking over, he moved over to attempt Android games. After a few failed attempts, he released Plunder Peril - a quick 2-3 week project that was meant as Android-development practice.
After Plunder Peril, Ralph began work on Stick Nodes and in August 2014, Stick Nodes was released on Android with the iOS version following in November. Stick Nodes is built in Java with the LibGDX framework and uses RoboVM to port to iOS.
Fast forward to March 2020 when he was revising this page and he honestly can't believe Stick Nodes is still going so strong. Onward to world domination...
Fast forward again to August 2023 and really, I haven't been cancelled yet? |

| Sean is the site administrator and creator of the stickfigure submission system as well as a majority of the DBZ stickfigures. He also has a funny accent.
At around age 12 he discovered Pivot, ended up on Droidz.org looking for stickfigures to use in his animations, got fairly good after about 2 years.
He decided to make a website to host his animations on after having been on the forums for a long time. That's what got him into webdesign since the first iteration of his website was a terrible looking flash-based thing that at the time he thought was the best thing out.
After a while he realized how stupid it looked and behaved. So he looked into HTML and CSS, got it looking slightly better but it wasn't until he found WordPress that it started looking decent.
After that he went off the grid for a bit, got his Cert IV in IT and Webdesign, cemented his understanding of the internet protocols.
Lately he's been helping out around the Stick Nodes community and has been managing Animation Alpha. He's also been looking into game development and has begun a project that he hopes to finish one day soon, he can't really reveal anything about it but it's for mobile devices and will be a 2D sidescroller. |

Hi Mr. Ralph
my 8-year old boy loves your stick node so much & I turn it into pro version. he created a lot of animations & all saved in pro version in iOS iPAD. At some point, he can’t no long load his own project & file. whenever he clicks the “open project”, it just crashed & ended. really don’t know what to do. caused those files are all his hard works.
Please help on this, thanks
A regular dad
Mr.jason.. please can you check if there is a update for the stick nodes Pro app or check your device for virus and malwares or did you download the pirated version?
A regular user
@ralph this guy seems sus, but tell him what he can do
Is that because of my IP Address making me sus ? We comes from Taiwan not hacker with weird address. so, I am just try to solve problem for my son who feel sad.
thanks for the reply. let me updated
1.spending 2.99 in App Store for the iPAD. It’s official version
2.no virus found
3.stick node pro is already updated.
4.Is that because of my boy downloaded project which is created by others ?
let me updated.
It’s back to normal now after I asked my boy to delete some project he downloaded from others.
I assumed something wrong in the project he downloaded
maybe
Hm, I’m not Ralph but try uninstalling the app and getting it back.
thanks for the reply but uninstalling means all saved projects will be gone. My boy can’t keep everything he created. It will be frustrated because spending lots of time on that.
that’s the last thing you should do 💀
hey, i just saw your same comment on the FB page and replied there, hope that helps
(long story short, “Open Project”, select the project, scroll down and make the slider something like 90%, then open the project)
Hello, Mr. Jason. It crashes because your sons Stick Nodes Pro is loaded on too much (or maybe there is an update.). Try deleting some projects, and then open them. If it doesnt work, your Stick Nodes Pro projects might be downdated, and your Stick Nodes Pro might be updated.

happy birthday but i still do not get how to download stickfigures
In next update pls remove stick nodes Easter egg it scares my please, for the sake of all of your supporters, remove the stick nodes Easter egg. It’s when stick nodes has a red white tint to it, and there’s a weird, high detail face on the stickman, and there’s smoke surrounding it. Please remove that feature NOW!
