| 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. |

Ralph, i dont know if its my ipad but in Safari, the “sidebar” or however it is named, its not working, i press tha button that opens it but nothing happens…
So im exploring through pages like Stickfigures, About Us or News, editing the link above, but i dont like it… ??☹️
Thanks for letting me know. But that’s not happening for me on any browser/device. Is it still happening? Maybe force-close Safari and re-open?
People ask a lot of mythical things like, “When will pigs fly.” Or “Is the moon made out of cheese,” These all could exist all except one .. “hEy rALph wHeRe iS tHE oPaCiTY fEaTure.”
tHe sAmE pLaCe ThAt sKeWiNg iS

You have to be apart of team Ralph to get it, I’ll need your bank details and I’ll give you one because I have one and I am a total administator.
This is true except I’m the one that needs your bank account.
GO TEAM RALPH!
PS. Could you make my headline, “My name is ironic because my animations suck.”
I’m not giving you my bank information, though. What do I look like, the idiot who posts pictures of their debit card on instagram for everyone to see?
no
What’s with ur profile pic Ralph xD
I eat potatos for a reason.
blame dmlan
Lmao Ralph, I thought you were joking when you told me you might use it again.
Oh nooo
Ralph in the about us section, is it intentional on your favourite number, when I click it I have the option to call?
lol nah, I guess it’s just the same length as a phone number so it becomes a link
Ralph, if we were to go a hold of your email, And if we to put it in the email Required bit, would we show up as you or..?
get a hold*
You absolutely would here is his email go do it: ftlralph@- *ralph intercepts reply* it’s none of that don’t listen to him……..
This is somewhat true.
I think Onehighjump did it once.
But only I have the Blue Line™ on my name, that can’t be faked.
*evil laugh*
