Eight years ago Stick Nodes launched on the Google Play Store. I’d ask how old you were when this happened, but for some of you I’d imagine it’s actually a negative number. So to avoid the risk of feeling extremely antiquated, we’re gonna move on.
Eight Years of Nodes
So yeah, the story is I decided to make Stick Nodes one day because I wanted a “Pivot” but for mobile devices (but with tweening). Fast forward eight years and the nonstop requests for more features never ends – so I guess never will the updates. (Want to see the first mention referencing Stick Nodes ever?)
Stick Nodes has become my “job” but (and this is extremely cliche) I love it – and even though I feign indifference and being greedy for comedic purposes, I really want Stick Nodes to be something special for lmao I can’t even finish this sentence sike.
Happy Birthday!
Shouts out to PsychoM, who is the illustrator of my now infamous Jo-Ralph profile picture. He is also the artist behind the awesome “birthday celebration” photo for this year’s anniversary. One day a couple months ago I asked him for a quick job and in about thirty minutes he sent over this, so he’s a little slow but he does good work!
Here is the full resolution of the original art, and full resolution of the polaroid photo.
Sprite Update
Quick news on the upcoming 4.0.0 “The Sprite Update” update of Stick Nodes – it’s still in development! A lot of work left to do, but lots of progress being made. You should really keep an eye on my profile on the website, and also follow me on Twitter for the latest Stick Nodes news.
Or else you’re missing out on stuff like…Minecraft coming to Stick Nodes?
(Don’t forget to smash and subscribe to the like button or whatever. Bell icon.)
Accompanying this update will also be something many people have been requesting for years now…
The Splash Screen 2022 Contest
After many requests, bribes, and criminal-level threats – the time has come. If you want your OC on the splash screen of Stick Nodes – potentially exposing your art to thousands upon thousands of random users of the app on startup – now is your time to shine. For full rules and how to submit your entry, please see the group dedicated to this event.
As stated in the rules, you have until September 12th to get your entry in. Upon the launch of the next Stick Nodes update, the old OC’s that have graced us for the past couple years will be cleared away, and the new winning submissions will be featured.
Alright, see you in another year!
I’m in the picture you just can’t see me
i know your joking behind the tears, but i would’ve liked to add a lot more people
its just, obviously it’s a lot of work for the artist and also – we kinda ran out of room
so :/
The joke is that I don’t even have a character.
oh, then he is there
@jack i have a request for a certain chibi stickfigure……..
Called it

AWW THE FUNKY THE DIO
im hte crewmate
you made two comments on this page

Make it 3rd
PL Team Slave OwnerDamn. It’s like a DOOM cover in the the background where I am. I love it.
Psycho M is pretty impressive with his artistic skills. Can look at all the little details in that art for hours. Excellent stuff.
it came out amazing, i gave him the most basic of basic vague ideas of what i wanted and he did this
PL Team Slave OwnerYou gave him 2 sticks and a rock.
He worked with it. Very impressive.
Another coincidental time for me to have a peek at the site after leaving a while back.
Can’t believe it’s already been 8 years… Sure brings back some memories, considering I’ve been here since the start (with the exception of the past year lmao)
Kinda makes me want to try the splash screen thing again, just for the heck of it. I might just go ahead and dust off the app I haven’t touched in so long… Maybe my skills as a digital artist will prevent my stickfigures from looking as awful as they did in the past?
Anyways, happy 8th birthday, SN. You’ve come far.
this is a sign that it occurred right now
do it
