| 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. |

I dont wear shoes at home
Cool, because DmLan wears.
What’s wrong with it?
Everything
You make your home dirty.
So, the people you invite in your house to eat makes your house dirty, so they’re bad?
No, they are gud.
No, they are supposed to take their shoes off too.
No they shouldn’t.
Yes they should
Look, let’s just leave it at take off your shoes indoors,
Don’t start a world war,
Don’t waste food,
Don’t do drugs (unless they get you friends),
And buy stick nodes pro,
True
It’s not a big deal is the US. Shoes, shoes everywhere.
Ralph, I actually have a serious question
How long do you plan to work on stick nodes for?
Probably once I run out of ideas to add. Lol.
I like how Alex comments a lot, it reminds the old me, now, I’m just commenting here and there, probably because I’ll soon have a work, and I need to study a lot.
I just comment a lot cause I have no control over my life
I don’t care how much studying or work you have, you better keep your place on the comment leaderboard or you’re fired.
You are basically telling me “KEEP COMMENTING, DO NOT STUDY”
He’s not basically Telling you that. He IS telling you that
YEE
I am.
Well guess what!
No.
Yee!

İn Turkey, there is a exam named TEOG *dadadaDaaa*
TEOG, is very important, it determinets your high school.
İ am sure there is something like that in other countries.
First TEOG is in this wednesday and thursday.
Second one is on april.
So, only 8th grades entering this. (Like me)
And it is compulsory.
And it is 2 day.
First day you do Math, Turkish, Religion Lesson.(Yes, there is a lesson named Religion Lesson)
Second day you enter History Lesson, Science and English.
And this exam nearly determinates your life too.
İn Turkey, if your English is too good, you cant be English teacher, you need to good at all lessons.(İ know, that sucks)
So, this exam is important.
İf you read all, you are man.
Lol, thats probably longest comment i ever posted in my life.
So it’s like the Turkish GCSE?
Also, geography? Teo? G? Teo confirmed
TEO
Similiar.
This was an interesting read.
So basically don’t screw this up or you’ll end up just being a Spido:h Man for the rest of your life.
Also I don’t understand how if you’re English is good you can’t be an English teacher. What.
İ live in Turkey.
İn Turkey everything is possible.
İ mean, in Turkey you need to good at all lessons to be English teacher, or math teacher, or doctor, or programmer.
What about astronaut?
Same.
Bonus fact: in 2017 a Turk will go to space.
How normal is that.
An actual turkey, like the animal or a full grown bercheeee?
Lmao at Bercheeee.
BERKE
