| 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.
I’ve worked out a potential solution for the thumbnails. Need to wait for my host to do something to the database on my behalf before I can apply the change to the site though.
Could We have more sounds?Such as: more glass breaking sounds,electricity,voices,more Dbz sounds,animal sounds,phone sounds,etc.
And lastly, a Spidöh sound.
Ey guys you can help too!
There’s something awesome to search all these sounds…
It’s called…
THE INTERNET!
Wow
Dude that website is amazing why hasn’t anyone told me about it before.
More DBZ sounds!? There’s like 50 million already in the app.
Give or take.
We need gun reloading sounds now. And a Spidöh sound for berke so he shuts up
The gun reload isn’t a bad idea, surprised I forgot that.
Add it now you filthy frog boy
…frog boy?
Yee, frog boy.
Hey Ralph Can You Check The 3 Stick Figures I Submitted There Called LOL Master Yi.LOL Master Yi’s Sword And LOL Talon
I just checked, they’re there. Haven’t gotten to them yet, sorry for the wait. Been slowing down submissions until I have the thumbnail issue sorted out.
Master Yi? Lame. Bring me Twitch, Teemo and Zilean, Aatrox and all those good characters. NOT MASTER YI.
Master Yee. Oh god
OK Thanks
What’s today’s major F*ckup?
http://imgur.com/a/8ePKi
Lol, what? Are you saying something’s broken? Looks good to me, look at that CSS. Just look at it. Beautiful.
Also Scratch though.
Thought that was Html…
Also why you look at my browsers?
Lmao Scratch.
Technology is so beautiful.
I actually started with GameMaker a little over 10 years ago probably. It wasn’t as robust as it is today, but it was something like Scratch, sort of, Scratch is more simplified or at least was.
Anyway what were we talking about again?
İ still cant see these pictures.
You should probably fix that.
What happens when you click the link?
For imgur: http://imgur.com/a/FSnT7
For i.imgur: http://imgur.com/a/GRpb7
İ hate i.imgur, its forbidden in Turkey. (i dont know why lol)
Lol, i even cant see my own pictures, i hope you guys can.
Also, thats not spam
Yeah I can see them.
So I Googled it and it does look like Turkey is banning it for some reason. Some guy says this as a way to get around it:
– In mobile Google Chrome enable data saver.
– In your modem enter Google Public DNS.
– Don’t vote for medieval candidates during the elections.
Step 3 sounds the best.
Days random thing.
This is what the Stick Nodes website looked like in 2014 http://web.archive.org/web/20141218064523/https://sticknodes.com/
Cool
It’s actually not that cool.
Wow an archive
Or, wayback machine
It won’t let me download an archive stick
I was wondering if I could change my profile picture (I don’t know how) to a sexy alien
Well not sexy alien but a alien…
Any one know how to?
