| 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. |

Hm.
I am really bored.
I’m not up to make an animation, anyone, please help.
CARD GAMES ON MOTERCYCLES
MOTORCYCLES ON CARD GAMES
MOTORCYLES ON SÄ°MULATÄ°ON GAMES.
weird question, which do you prefer (ralph), solo projects or joints?
As in, what do I like to make? Well, I don’t animate much now, but back when I used Pivot a lot I used to only make solo animations. I think I only created a joint animation with 1 or 2 people before.
As for what I like to see, as long as the animation is entertaining, I don’t really have a preference.
alright thank you đ
I just noticed your new caption, Ralph.
AND THIS IS BULCHET. I never forced you to set my Sonic Ralph as your gravatar.

I have the same email from DmLan that Berke just posted. It’s true.
Uhm, how can I send this the 31st August when I sent my Sonic Ralph picture 4 days ago?
You’re rich, you own a time machine.
Oh Jesus

R!CH.
while we are on the topic of profile icons how do i change mine
You have to make an account on http://gravatar.com with the same email you use when you comment here, upload your profile picture there.
Please make update for free version too. add the “import sound” selection for free ver. Okay???
Probably not, no, sorry. Sounds are the biggest feature that bring people to the Pro version, I have to make some income or else no more updates get done đ
BLEH
Blue lions eat hippos?
in my opinion the free version shouldnt get updated as regularly. i mean its still usable, but it might make more people want pro. Maybe this already happens, idk lol. Im no designer so u do whatever u want. I just got triggered
That’s just mean.
im not a good person. thats why i have money
DmLan have more money.
