| 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. |

If I was Ralph, instead of getting other people to translate, I’d get Google translate and make sure it can’t translate anymore when I’m done with it, and than don’t credit no one except myself, making myself look like a supreme overlord and totally smart person.
Lmao. That would be such a terribly robotic translation I think people would hunt me down.
Whaaa…. What is happening to the website. I’m confused af..
U switchin hosts again? Dayum, dis is getting weird.
It’s done moving now! Sorry for any weird things you noticed / comments disappearing / stickfigures not being uploaded. Back to normal now, and the speed should be really fast!
Yay
Good, good… *Does extremly awesome evil laugh*
Anyways, since my caption went back to Don’t eat me…
Can you change it to..
I chose this name for a reason.
Lol xD
Oh sorry, I’ll change it.
Also your picture is still terrifying.
XD
Why is everyone asking about transparency? I get it, it’s a good idea, it there are ways around it.
What I do is if I want to make it look like a stickfigure is running fast, I just duplicate the stickfigure and make the color of the duplicates lighter.
(Ex.) Putting an ordinary stickfigure, copying it, and make the newly added figure lighter colored. It’s not perfect, but it works.
Also, if you want all-mo, just make the stickfigure’s movement slower.
Auto correct, it was SLO-mo, as in slow motion.
This is true. But it typically only works well with solid-color backgrounds, to match the stickfigure to.
I’m on iOS. Speaking of which, I made a stickfigure of Sean’s head on a stick
ANYONE EXCITED FOR THE VOLDEMORT MOVIE?? Because I’m not, I’m ready for the emoji movie RN.
Who TF are you?, “Melhisto.”
I said, “tf” in capitals to make it look like I’m mad.
Emoji movie is gonna be crap, just saying.
?
There’s a Voldemort movie?
…
…there’s an Emoji movie?
The world’s end started with the emoji movie, and since then, many events that shouldn’t happen started happening.
Except that Voldemort movie idea which sounds awesome.
cool stuff here bro
Don’t know what to post, so here’s a video featuring an elderly Turkish man screaming “MEOW” at an egg.

Okay.
Days random things
How to ruin my childhood? Sonic from Sonic Heroes holding a happy meal.
http://i.imgur.com/ioQP8ip.png
Lmao, Sonic Heroes had a McDonald’s deal? Interesting.
There are many McDonalds Sonic Heroes ads, I remember there was a french one with Cream/Amy popping out of a kid’s happy meal, and I think Sonic was running around or something, I don’t remember, it’s way too old for me, I was like 6 or something.
It was just made to advertise Sonic Heroes and sell some bad handheld games thingy. I had the Sonic one, I think.
I just want to mention, those ads didn’t made me buy Sonic Heroes, I had already owned it.
There’s a pakistan one too, and it’s quite terrible, lmao.
“TELS SOKER”
Sonic running around? Preposterous! (There’s no way you know that word.)
Lmao at Pakistani Sonic…
Preposterous = absurd, ridiculous. Nice try Ralph, lol.
Also, I just found the Sonic Heroes french commercial, I am full of Nostalgia now.
https://youtu.be/fZ3TDzKKeFw
Now let’s compare it with the Pakistani one…
https://youtu.be/m7Q0_DgXHG0
Obviously, the winner is Pakistani.
İ still cant see this, but cool.
Let me know if this works, it’s a way I’ve seen people getting around the imgur block. Just replace “imgur.com” in the URL with “filmot.org”.
So DmLan’s link would now be:
http://filmot.org/ioQP8ip
I showed you this…you never saw it.
You get 1 free punch at DmLan.
WHAT, WHY.
I am now satisfied.
Ralph where r the new figs?:(:(
Just uploaded!
Yay
