| 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 like how you randomly post some random stuff, just to say that you’re still alive.
Spidöh-Pan
Thats brilliant.
How can you know my secret plan.
Wait, i know, you used your money to find my secrets.
You R!CH.
It’s been a while since I’ve heard of DmLan’s copious amounts of CASH MONEY.
I not rich
Yes you are.

21 minutes wasted because this game is glitchy.
I assume something is going wrong here and it involves those pink lines but I’m not sure what.
Im supposed to go invisible with Espio but the game didn’t wanted to play and didn’t let me pass through those lasers.
I had to exploit the game with glitches, which I hate to pass through this.
I ended up playing nearly 1 hour on this damn level.

Days random things.
I realized how much Sega loved Sonic Heroes.
I turned on Sonic Generations to watch some artworks and there’s a load of Sonic Heroes artworks. In the Sonic Gem collection plus, there are 2 beta of Sonic Heroes intro. 2 betas. This is incredible. A normal game would only have 1 beta.
In Sonic colors, they used for the invincibility theme the Sonic Heroes jingle. In Sonic Generations, Seaside hill theme also includes Ocean palace theme, so they’re like 2 musics for one level. Also there’s a dialogue when you deliver Espio that is only french exclusive I think, and in this dialogue Espio says “I once got fooled by Eggman and his stupid ermits” which is a reference to Team Chaotix’s first mission where Eggman tells them to catch 10 ermits.
DAAAAAAAMN THOSE REFERENCES ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE. It’s like as if Sega wanted to bring Sonic Heroes back. I’m pretty sure Sonic Heroes 2 is going to happen soon, there are too many clues to hide it from me.
I actually thought that their was a sonic heroes 2 when I was younger…
There is, it’s a fangame though. I tried it when it was on beta, I was crying tears of joy lmao.

Funny, I played a little bit of Sonic Generations a while back.
…
I didn’t catch any of those references >_>
Also WHAT EVEN is an “ermit”?
Idk what an ermit is. Ask google translate.
By the way, I don’t really complain because I like to type a lot, but man I’m only halfway through and I already can’t feel my fingers
http://i.imgur.com/LxV8UhH.png
Lmao wow. Seriously, there’s no rush.
Also is that really “stickfigure” in French? That’s fine in the listing, but when you get to the other file (lol at “halfway done”) what do you think about only using “figure”?
I don’t know if all that as it is will fit nicely in, for example, “Add stickfigure” button. Maybe just “figure” is smaller/easier.
I’ll probably email this to you too.
Also I just looked up ermit in Google images.
…I don’t recommend anyone else do it.
Yummy.
GODAMMIT RALPH YOU SHOULDNT HAVE SAID NOT TO AWARCH IT UP!!!!
Hey I was wondering, will we ever get a new UI by chance?
Not sure if joke.
2.0.0 which is nearly done is a big overhaul to how the UI looks and behaves.
Onehighjump’s Stories/Discovery: Neo Tribeam/ KIKOHO!
A move used by Tien is actually really underestimated. Kikoho! While researching one of my favorite characters move on Wikipedia it says “The attack does damage 100x greater than the user’s own power.” With this said somebody like Goku,Hit,Beerus or anybody else learn this it would be deadly! Just imagine 100X SSGSS Goku’s!
So Tien teach Goku KIKOHO!
Bye…Well…I forgot…
İ didnt understand none of these but, cool.
This is true but I believe it drains the user’s “life energy” or something.
Source: Tien almost died after using it to stop Semi-Perfect Cell.
So used in moderation, might be worth it as a last-ditch effort.
…What are we talking about again.
Im confused
Who’s Tien?
That dude with an extra eye?
Triclops yes.
These are both correct answers.
Spidöh-Man, just Spidöh-Man.
I agree 100%.
Indeed
Ralph If i copy sticknodes and I change the name to I dunno “nodesticks”? You would demand me?
Sedonkcits is much better
Demand.

Hey Ralph, I sent u a Terraria Kun stick, and I dare you to change his pickaxe into a shovel.
$5 and I’ll do it.
Uhhh…
How about a stick request instead? ?
What I meant by stick request is:
I will make a stick that u want (Most likely going to look horrible) so u can do the dare.
If you add opacity to Stick Nodes I will say Ralph is better than Sean, but if Sean adds the opacity then Sean will be better.
Lol I agree
Sean can’t add anything even if he wanted to.
He doesn’t want to btw he’s a horrible person.
#TeamRalph
Why are you guys so mean to Sean? >~>
Did something happen here before I got here? XD
