| 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 recommended changing that title
No

Shattered egg
Normal egg
Bolt action Winchester rifle
Spidöh-Man
…I actually miss seeing this daily.
No more egg XD
Hey ralph this may sound a funny question but…..how do you equip the pistol in stick nodes? Cause everytime i try to join it on a hand of a stickfigure the stickfigure always holds the top part of the gun not the part where its supposed to be held
Days random things.
Berke made the shirt that a friend offered me.
That’s the reason why he’s gone.
http://i.imgur.com/5ALu3Zjr.jpg
Lol, I don’t think I’ve seen Made in Turkey ever, or if so very rarely.
Now I need to see what the shirt actually looks like though.
http://i.imgur.com/YfSJmrsr.jpg
I would have prefered a classic Sonic shirt. Or even better, a Sonic Heroes shirt.
But I still like it.
poor knuckles
I definitely thought it was going to be a Sonic Heroes shirt, too.

Oh dat link is long.
Found a Sonic Heroes shirt within 2 minutes. It’s just the logo though.
“Made in Turkey”?
İts everywhere.
Wait, i live in Turkey…
Thats usual for me.
İs that a shirt?
Yee
Good ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Days random thing.
I have a pack of Undertale sounds. I’ve never played Undertale so idk what any of these are.
If you could have a few of these in Stick Nodes, which ones?
Yes
Also, I don’t see any hotline Miami sounds you chicken nugget. (That probably is because this is all undertale sounds)
Double also, how do magnets work
Name specific names from that too because I never played that either.
I can’t go too specific, I don’t know what the sounds are exactly but just punch noises or any sort of noise like that. I don’t think ther s too many so it won’t be that hard I don’t think
Can’t tell since I’ve never played Undertale.
What should be cool is some Super Smash Brothers sounds, they can fit for fighting animations. They may give a comic style as well.
YOU PEOPLE KEEP GIVING ME MORE WORK TO DO.
YOU ARE THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.
YOU UNLEASH SOMETHING, YOU HAVE TO CONTROL IT.
OMGOMGOMHOMG
THAT DOESN’T HELP ME.
WAIT!Before you do anything else,add super street fighter 4 arcade edition sound effects,and Juri’s( she is a character in the game) voice lines please.I NEED it for my character.
I’m probably not going to add such specific things like just a particular character’s voice. You can add the voices to your own device/Stick Nodes app though, you should do that.
https://youtu.be/rh-9xXhIe5g
Now get a audio/video editor.
Set MP3
Name stuff
Repeat until you have all the voice clips.
There’s also probably already voice packs pre-made and ready for download.
There’s about to be 0 Undertale sounds unless someone NAMES SOME NAMES OF DESIRED SOUNDS.
I would rather they Were not included so I’m not gonna say anything
I want the actual other sounds,but not the characters talking fx.
“Juri’s( she is a character in the game) voice lines please”
>_>
DONT ADD ANY UNDERTALE SOUNDS IN THE NAME OF ANIMATION(ALSO BECAUSE THIS WEBSITE WILL BE FULL OF UNDERTALE CHARACTERS AND WEAPONS SO PLEASE ?????)
“will be”
I hate to break this to you but…
Too much Undertale hates >~>
Actually SOME of the Undertale sounds are useful.
Just like the attack ones, some of the talk sound, Omega Flowey’s laugh, Save points succes, and some of the monster damages.
And yes, I have played Undertale and I used to be obsessed with it >~>
But even if u do add those sounds, I won’t be able to use them cuz I can’t buy pro ;-;
Yeah undertale is cool but the fanbase though its terrible the music that they make up for it the the same games with a twist and always end with a “tale” (Example is overtale)and one more…….THE LEGENDARY GENDERLESS CHILD and others….
-P.S Please dont be mad thats just my opinion
Hmmmm i think your right about the save point sound…..i can already imagine videogame themed animations with this one ?????
The talk sounds are good too……ralph you should add the talk sounds so some animators would use a diffrent sound when a character is talking instead of the usual *Plop* sound when someone talks
Finally someone agrees
Thanks, that will help me narrow it down.
The delicious potato stew is right.Some talk sounds are useful.And add the other sound effects as well.Oh,and also could you add more punching/kicking sounds please?I feel so limited when it comes to punches and other ass beating related sounds.I also need more slashing sounds as well.
Delicious potato stew lol.
Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll see what I can come up with.
Please don’t eat me >~>
NEXT TIME DON’T CHOOSE SUCH A NAME.
Just add CSGO Sounds Ralph, and maybe other pupular sfx like, ill be back, or maybe Falcon Punch, i dont know! Search on Youtube Chan
Wat
Uh
This image is now a part of the Stick Nodes app.
But where is it used!?
In defaults sphincter?
In the Secret Codes!
Wot
He has awoken!
He is about to reach in his pants and– I hope that’s for the cover. #cantwaitforundertalesounds
Days random thing.
I found new move on Sonic Heroes.
Power characters can make consecutives punches if you dont move the analog stick while attacking.
I’ve never seen that animation and I’m seeing it 13 years later, it made me feel strange, I can’t even describe it.
Holly pepperonis
That must be like the one time I played Spyro relatively recently and discovered a completely new world/level that I had never seen before somehow.
Pepperonis indeed.
That’s the first time it happens to me, this is so unusual. Guess we had the same “feel”, it’s kinda striking when you recently discover something on a game you used to play a while back.

Communicating with a french friend in english might not be the best idea.

ptetre ke c sa
and
MDRRR no
Can absolutely not be French words so wtf is going on.
Also I think you like Sonic a little too much. A little.
Lmao.
Ptetre ke c sa is “Peut être que c’est ça” (maybe it’s that), it’s just poorly written instead.
And Mdr stands for Mort de rire, which is pretty much an alternative of Lol, except it’s in french.
Nah, I don’t like Sonic that much, really. It totally didn’t made my childhood.
*Make
Don’t you dare
If you correct me one more time I’ll be forced to destroy you at smash flash.
(noticed DmLan forgot a period, waiting patiently for Onehighjump to point this out, ps this doesn’t count)
:O
?
You can’t start a sentence with and.
*French
Come at me bro
1v1 me club penguin or smash flash, I’ll destroy you with my main…
Kirby!
Okay lemme prep up.
Club penguin is shut down…
Yo.
What, Club penguin got shut down? They better make Toontown remastered now.
So…I take it you two didn’t play?
Hey mr developer i looked on your website and saw that you made a lot of games and i saw one that is for android but it says unfinished….is there a beta for it? I would like to try it out ?
Also the site seems a bit broken or buggy since when i checked the recent comments page it shows comments from yesterday….even though someone commented on this day but they do not appear
So if you click this https://sticknodes.com/recent-comments/ it’s not up to date? Click the refresh button in your browser, what happens?
Lol, nah sorry. Those are old projects. I do have another game “in the works” right now but never have time to work on it.
Oh ok
I wouldn’t be surprised if he was talking about stick nodes there
Hey mr developer saw the new stickfigures…..why is there too many animals though
Just call him Ralph…
