| 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. |

Days random thing FRENCH edition
I had a weird dream where Ralph left a post and there’s written he was quitting and discontinue sticknodes and give the lead to a Lenax guy thing.
I thought it was real so I had an heart attack.
Next episode, maybe in some days.
Or weeks.
Or months.
Or years.
Or never.
Plajarism
Best dream ever.
Isn’t it
Yee
He stole your days random thing
Stealing is wrong.
So true.

thanks for verifying
He is R!CH thief

No, I wish I was r!ch though
If by Lenax guy you mean Microsoft then I have some news for you…
He knows everything.nhe bought the book of knowledge of Ralph for €888766666667788009887765543322345678222882872727646535400998887761234566776655443211125678975223568831468812124689843BC461398732888766666667788009887765543322345678222882872727646535400998887761234566776655443211125678975223568831468812124689843BC461398732888766666667788009887765543322345678222882872727646535400998887761234566776655443211125678975223568831468812124689843BC461398732888766666667788009887765543322345678222882872727646535400998887761234566776655443211125678975223568831468812124689843BC461398732, 1 22822billionth of his secondly allowance
Actually more than that
Yeah you left off a 0.
Ralph, the Sega collection thing you showed us some month ago is finally available to pre-order in France, sick stuff right there, now I just need a PS4 that I’ll never get. Ugh
http://i.imgur.com/dyOAbhH.png
Yeah, too bad it’s not in the PS69
Then again, you could use your r!ches to get it on your PlayStation 69
I may sound rich but all I own is a PS2, Gamecube, PS3, Xbox 360 and a freakin’ Nintendo 3DS.
The PS2 and the Gamecube are the consoles I’ve grown with. I bought the PS3 not too long ago (2 years) and the Xbox 360 and the 3DS were birthday gifts.
You can’t blame me for owning a PS2 and a GC, my family bought it when I wasn’t even born. They were so expensive back in the day (about 300€ each) my mom had to take a bit of money from my grandma to afford it.
Besides, the PS3, I bought it with my own money.
I really love retro video games, so if I was rich I would have a Sega Megadrive (Genesis), a Dreamcast, N64, Atari 2600, Commodore 64, Odyssey, NES, SNES, Gameboy and all those consoles.
You are R!CH
Yep, he’s r!ch
Think he meant to type ps333 not ps3
İ agree
i dont.
I do
“family bought it when I wasn’t even born”
Wow. I got a PS2 long after it first came out. It seems like forever ago and I remember the day.
To think that little DmLan was either an infant or not even existed at that point.
No.
Stop.
Lmao Ralph, I was kidding when I said I wasn’t born.
Well, it’s almost true because I was 1 when they bought it. (I’m born in 1999 and the PS2/GC came out in 2000)
İ dont have PS2
Is it because you’re poor?
Yes
Get it on PC.
Do it.
İ just need a console, doesnt matter what, just a console, i just want to touch a controller
You don’t have a consoles¿¡¡¿ noo cunoles?¿¡! Not wnwnsdmnddijdicjdicjdojvormvijrjtijgitngxlwembedy
No, i never touched a console ON MY ENTİRE LİFE
?!?!?!?!??!!??!!?!?!¡¿¿¿¡¿¡¡¡¿¡¿¡?¡?! N
You should get a Sega Genesis.
İ AM POOR
As I said, DmLan will pay in exchange for spidöh-mans death
İ am still poor DRAGON GUY
Idk who dragon guy is so I’m gonna reply instead. You’re poor because spidöh man lives.
Nu, i am poor because DmLan is R!CH
Steal his money then
İ cant, he lives in French.
Take a ride on spidöh man express
İ dont have enough money to go other countries.
Lemme get this straight, dmlan is r!ch, berke is poor, Ralph is the mana sourcerer and Sean is the guile in the mist.
Spidöh man express is free
How come berke could buy stick nodes pro? He is not poor fafafafafafafake
What am I?

İ am in the websbite over 1 year, i am one of the oldest guys in here. So R!CH DmLan is his favorite becasue R!CH DmLan gives him money.
Ralph won’t take my trophy.
Will he¿!¡¿?
But I’m the best animator out of us ?
He will
He already has!

He cant make animations.
I’m still clearly better.

I’m kidding man. And nu
Name clicking is illegal
Don’t tune me in to Ralph. Plz don’t. I don’t want to be arrested
With you out of the way I will be favourite. It’s not like Berke will be favourite
Speaking of, Berke has been here for a year without a ban? I’m impressed with Ralph’s restraint
Yee, i am older than all of you.
But not oldest one, oldest on is DmLan, i think he find sticknodes in 2014 lol.
İ think this is the oldest guys list
1-Ralph
2-Sean
3-DmLan
4-Berke
5-OneHighJump
…
İ think its like that, i am not sure.
Ask this Ralph
I discovered sticknodes in December 2014, I arrived to the website on April 2015 because making my own stickfigures wasn’t enough to make animations.
Yee
But I’m stiiiilll the best.
Plz.
It’s all I have in life
Ego
Again joke. And besides, everyone has flaws. Like your need to post one word comments all the time, mostly containing “ye” or “nu”
;3
Ego just happens to be my flaw
Spams
The first guy who downloaded and used sticknodes (except Ralph & Sean) is a living legend.
Wait, really?
He could be dead. You don’t know.
Hehehe
Laughing is forbidden
Nuu
I am eating chocolate right now while playing Crash Nitro Kart.
What was the point of that comment
İ will eat macaroni soon(tm)
İtaliano
Your comment is as useless as mine.
But playing Crash Nitro kart is better than eating macaronnis soonly(tm)
Pasta means macoroni
BUT
İn Turkish pasta means “CAKE”
Okey.
Okay
Can I join the okey fest?

Tell meh
I’m too ashamed of you
TELL MEEEH
I’m pretty sure you can access google via whatever you’re using currently.
Lol, no it’s my very first amiibo.
I’m not really interested in Amiibos and all those extra useless stuff like the skylanders but I just need a Bowser Amiibo for my life to be complete.
So I got it right!
Right about what?
I guessed which one
İts Sanic
It’s really not
Do you have a proof?
Yes, I do.
Proof:
First one to solve this gets admin power?
Answer is 4
N*
Who made this, Einstein?
And no, I’m not interested in a Sonic Amiibo.
THE ANSWER IS 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was joking about the admin thing, but is it actually 3?
If my math is correct it should be 3
So you actually sat around to work this out?
Your 62nd bowser?
Or Sonic
No it has to be bowser. Or a mii fighter that looks like Sean
Sanic
Sean. Or Ralph. Not sonic
I also say it’s Bowser.
I also appreciate how DmLan changes his profile picture almost daily.
No! I’ve got it! Pit! (Kid Icarus uprising)
It’s Benoit
Days random thing
*Still waits for Half-Life 3*
It will come as a preorder bonus to stick nodes desktop.

Wow.
Just, wow.
I don’t even have CSGO, I have CS Source, and I suck so bad at this game.
1v1 me Parappa the Rapper 2 anytime, I’ll crush you with my skills.
But you are R!CH
If I was rich I would have everything.
Unfortunately, I just have the worst Pc on Earth (Windows vista), and some old consoles that makes me look rich because I never sold them back then.
Because you hide you’re R!CHNESS
Get windows xp
You should upgrade to Windows 7.
Do you know why I stopped the car?
No
That’s in Parappa 1 though.
THATS BECAUSE YOU FORGOT TO CLOSE THAT DAMN DOOR
Only CS game I’ve ever played is CS:S, too.
I never was good.
So true
Years random thing:
A day in the life of dmlan edition:
Dmlan wakes up. He decides to take a bath. Since he is so r!ch he gets his camera man (Ralph) to take a picture for him
https://imgur.com/gallery/yomxS
After his bath he dries himself with a money towel. He doesn’t brush his teeth because he’s r!ch. he goes downstairs and eats his favorite food for breakfast.
Bowser meat! After his meal he goes on stick nodes and comments such me stuff. In the middle of his comment session he eats bowser meat sandwich. When he’s done he does some more stuff and goes upstairs and…
Well that’s it, I’m out of ideas. How does berke do this everyday!?!
Also, r!ch dmlan should change from vista to XP.
“Also, r!ch dmlan should change from vista to XP.”
No joke Sherlock, but they stopped to product XP’s, they announced it in 2014.
I don’t care, Xp is superior Alien technology
Why. Why am I the one taking that photo?
