| 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 love TOONAMI. And Xanthe is just what my parents named me. Really, I was raised in England for about two years after my toddler years. haven’t really payed attention to any meaning of my name, nor have I really thought of it. It’s pronounced “Z ah n the”. But yeah, it was a big trip. It was really new, especially for things like PG ratings for movies, back in England, we used numbers for movie ratings and stuff like that. My Father got into motorcycles, too.
Good, good, another Toonami fan.
Pretty cool though. I can’t imagine moving countries, let alone continents. I imagine it must be quite the shock depending on how old you were to remember things.
Hi Ralph! Say What Is The Name Of The Stickfigure Of Yourself? Ralph? ForTheLossGames? Or Ralph Daminao?
I know this is a late reply, but yeah. I think I was maybe 7 or 8, and seeing how extremely impatient I was then.. Yeah. I didn’t like the time it took, but I was excited for going to a new place.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaase SUBMIT PSHYCO M ANIMATION STUDIOS PACK TO STICK NODES HIS VIDEO LINK DOEENT WORK
It’s kinda been on the website for a month now https://sticknodes.com/sticks/psycho-m-pack-zip/
No i mean he has another one
Oh wow. Well, he should submit it to the website, I’ll ask him when I get through the stickfigures I already need to approve if he hasn’t already submitted it.
Oh and he made 2 STICKFIGURES of you and you look cool in the!
And anyway i downloaded them and it worked and i used his ralph sticks for my animation with you as an power rangers and then as an super hero
I may have to see this animation.
For some reasons I NEED to comment a youtube video when there are one of my sticks in it, I can’t avoid that, I am forced to, something deep in me forces me to comment.
So yeah, I’ll probably comment your video teodor. 8)
I AM NOT A YOUTUBER
So where are your animations? I need to know.
I am just commenting to videos
I wanna send them in the STICK NODES site
I mean i wanna send the animation on STICK NODES
Uh… what? Just export your animation as a .gif and go on imgur.com , then post it and then send us the link to watch it.
Yeah, pretty much what DmLan said. Though there are better places to showcase your animations than this site, as it would just get lost in the comments.
Hmmmm… i like the way you advertise animation alpha 8)))))
If SOMEONE would ever update that site, that would be great.
Oh dmlan i forgot another favourite character from star WARs. He is starkiller from the force unleahed please make the starkiller STICKFIGURE and the other star WARs and angry birds STICKFIGURES. Oh i forgot. Are some of the star WARs and angry birds stickfigures Done?

Wait your impatient butt.He said he would create them.Now just wait and be patient.
THANK YOU CRISIS.
I failed very hard on these angry birds. The other ones are okey, but these ones… nope, it’s garbage. Total failure (the other ones doesn’t look like this at all, I just rushed these ones)

So how many stickfigures do you have to make now? Like 40?
And my parents wont let me send my animations but i will ask them if they will let me send it
Just a note, use the “Reply” button under a comment if you want to reply to it directly. When you don’t, it’s hard to tell what you’re talking about since we have no reference of who you’re replying to.
Lmao it doesn’t matter to me since the website on my phone looks like this:
http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2016/22/1464892920-screenshot-2016-06-02-20-41-22.png
What kinda phone is it? Mine looks deathly similar other than the Wi-Fi symbol. I use a Huawei Raven LTE.
My Phone is a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime lmao
You need to get a tablet. Have you ever visited this website on a computer? There’s so much room for activities.
How can i download the pc Version of stick NODES?
It doesn’t exist, lol.
I’m guessing you mean by that the Samsung is small? From the ones I’ve seen they are. But really, my Huawei is too big for my hands. Perfect for the Animations though.
Dmlan please show me a imgur image link of the star WARs and angry birds stickfigures you made i wanna see them and i love all of your STICKFIGURES you are making especially the modern sonic
Oh wow, thank you a lot.
I’ll show them tonight, I’m sending my comment in high school right now lmao.
STOP PLAYING ON YOUR PHONE AND PAY ATTENTION. ESPECIALLY IF IT’S MATH CLASS.
lol no I have the worst math teacher in the world. Using Sticknodes is the best thing ever.
Okey teodor, let’s recap this:
– Star wars stickfigure (Luke and Anakin, starkiller, finn, clones, yoing obi wan, han solo)
-Ninjagos
– angry birds
-penguins of madagascar
Is that right?
Penguins of Madagascar, lol. That’s just random.
But not NINJAGO cause it will be a mess
Oh and yes
AND DON’T YELL AT ME YOU’RE NOT MY DAD.
I AM STILL IN MATH CLASS THIS “TEACHER” IS BLIND I THINK BECAUSE I AM USING MY PHONE RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM.
IMA BAWSSSS
What are you learning? I need to know.
Oh YOUR modern sonic is soo cool i couldnt rezist the tentation to use him for my animation i gave him the super speed surprise attack power
Learning how to calculate the third side of a triangle.
Yayyyyyyyyyyy. You’re actually supposed to learn this when you are in 4th class thing, when you are 13 years old. This is boring.
Funny how many times something like that is used in game development, even Stick Nodes development. Pay attention, it’s actually useful stuff.
Or animate during class. Whatever.
Good morning ??????
How many stickfigures you made? Can you post a pictures of them on imgur and can you show me a link imgur picture of them? I wanna see how it did worked
This is the first comment I’ve seen from you without some word in all caps.
Oh i forgot another favourite character from star WARs please make and finn from star wars the force awakens
Please dmlan show me an imgur picture link of them i really wanna see how do they look i will follow you on imgur
I’ve read a few days ago that you could be a video game programer and stuff, and I was interested. But I’ll just keep these kind of maths I’m learning right now to the other developpers 8))))))) Except that, I’m really good at math.
I wanna work for Sega, because they make cool stuff. But I’ll not help to make Sonic Boom tho. Chidhood ruined by this monster. 🙁

Yes
How many stickfigures i told you to do did you made? Please show me an imgur or an noelshack picture link of all of the stickfigures you made.
Well sh.t
🙁
I’ll work for Nintendo then.
MARIO AND LUIGI BOWSER’S INSIDE STORY 2 8DDDD
No you can work for Sonic Boom.
I’d rather die than work for Sonic Boom.
I even made the mistake to buy Sonic Boom for the 3ds
I came back to the shop where i bought this… “game” the next hour and I was so mad that I said to the shopkeeper “ITS A F SCAM WHY DIDNT YOU TOLD ME YOU STUPID HJZJDNZKZZN”
I’m still mad.
I could buy GTA 5 with these 45€.
You yelled at the poor shopkeeper in English?
Of course not. I’m just transating.
…
Hey are you trying to troll me?
