I fully agree.

Perhaps sprites should get their own section on the site that cannot get the same rewards as people who genuinely use the technicalities of the app. Drawing something is a lot easier than crafting a rigged animatable figure on sticknodes.
The whole art on this site has always been using the nodes. Most of the badges and events have been revolved around this.

Would it really be sticknodes without the nodes?
A balance should be found before its not reversible.

Sprites should be downloadable, but merely as a external toolbox.
The real noded figures should be the mainstraim creation.

Trust me, once people find out that sprites will get a ton of UC votes. They will abuse it and only post these. Ripping sprites from the internet. Demotivating any real figure creator

I still believe that your movieclips are just looping. Once they’ve ended they just reloop on the next project frame.

Perhaps provide us with a screen recording of the project frame(s) and the animation itself. That would help a lot

That’s really weird.

Are you sure you haven’t accidentally added something?

I’ve had similar things happen all related to human error. Check these yourself too. They are quite facepalm worthy.

-Applying Tween to effects consisting of multiple figures may result in flickering, like with Explosion1, Explosion2, and Explosion3.
The tween adds frames in between that do not contain the figure that was deleted in the previous scene. Go to the individual ”explosion” figure and enable “keep figure during tweening”

-Perhaps it’s a movieclip relooping. I’ve had movieclips that have invisible frames so I usually forget to delete them so they reappear. I movieclip most of my scenes for performance issue.

-Perhaps there’s an auto-camera somewhere that is moving it to frame 1.

Non-Human errors:

-Exceeding the frame limit your device can handle. I’ve had mine nearly explode occasionally.
-Exceeding the node limit (by enabling unlimited nodes in the settings)
-Way too many filters and effects.
-Update the app 🤷‍♂️

If none of these fix the issue, than there is something bigger at play. Contact Ralph so he can provide better help. I do not have technical insides of the app

In all honesty, being in the spam boys section is not necessarily something to be proud of.

Most of the times, it just indicates impulsive posting.
It also means commenting on countless of things with no real added value to the conversation.

its not always the case. Sometimes it just means you’ve been well active and productive/helpful.

Find balance between joyfully answering everything. It’ll just be deadweight eventually

This is the second post about the spam bois thing within a 2 hour period. It’s not really useful to anyone besides a self-centered impulsive post.
Show us some figures or animations you’ve made. That’s what we are interested in. We can all the same “spam boys” leaderboard

I agree with Ralph\’s perspective. The scenes are notably refreshing. During dialogue the characters constantly were doing something, such as pulling out the clipboard or the cam movement.

For the 2 minutes we\’ve seen a lot of different scenery/areas.
In the scene where the soldier is standing between the trees, you\’ve placed a barely noticable car. This is detail a lot of new animators leave out making the scenery look empty.
On top of that it was really well paced. Not too quick where it becomes incomprehensible, but not too slow to fall asleep.

I loved that you\’ve added sound to most movements that would create a sound. A wider variety of sounds would have topped it. But hey. using the sounds SN provides its totally fine too! Thats why they exist.

You\’ve also managed to provide a military action that didn\’t feel pointless.

Of course the animation itself has it flaws here and there. Mostly when it comes to momentum/flow. Stuttering. But you\’ve got potential to make interesting well-paced action animation. So keep it up and keep practising
