Ah yes, the beach is truly a wonderful sight to behold. And also stacks of money. Just as wonderful to behold.
And with that segue, let’s get into who won the summer collab!
“Best Animated” winners
- nonex, for literally breaking the limits of Stick Nodes and likely his sanity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtUbnuic1SY - Darkboy x Neon, post-added effects aside, the animation quality was top notch and on par with Flash
Darkboy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfszbcF2dos
Neon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2llZpPK33o - CoolBraker, crazy fire and ice effects in a short-and-sweet lovers quarrel or something idk maybe they’re siblings

“Most Entertaining” winners
- VulcAnimateHD, very unique character and powers, the ending was a funny twist as well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYUDV84aGG8 - VariousPond, this one could have placed in either category, for obvious reasons
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvoRn8fnjzY - Typical Animates, the entry that made every viewer cringe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzipRokrSig
Winners will be contacted soon!
Honorable mentions
- Mei Yamazuki, for cranking out one of the best entries to be used as the sample entry… in about 2 hours after the collab was thought up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvy3VWt-apM - PermaDeath Studio, for some of the best character designs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh63NHpdAPM - Mattsteady Studio, for the last video in the collab, blending Stick Nodes and 3D into some hybrid creation of awesomeness
https://www.youtube.com/user/mattsteady/videos - Mzati Chikoko Animation, another great blend of Stick Nodes and 3D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMtEqbKeTDI - Rendouv, for one of the most uniquely-styled entries, a potential winner but arrived too late :/
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKoDEOrvB3wxBBCFnuXSctw/videos - Coll, for likely the most grandiose and op attempt at opening the chest, also a late entry
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZiGuY_5ccklEpIF8Ier5nQ/videos
Many of the entries were absolutely great and all are worth mentioning. Thank you to all who entered, even if your entry was denied. The quality threshold was very high, hopefully you can take away some ideas after having seen the final product, and with some practice come back for the next collab!
Picking winners was very tough. It was a good idea to separate “best animated” as to give more people a chance to win, but the “most entertaining” category became somewhat of a blur between entertainment and uniqueness – which should be its own category for entries which really think outside the box. Similarly, maybe some awards for character design should be considered next time as well.
Once again, shouts out to the Stick Nodes collab team, they really went above and beyond.

Okay, gonna go procrastinate with the Stick Nodes sprite update some more. Byeee!
Please add sounds back to sticknodes because I don’t want to paying my money I pay my money for games oh the time so plz a sounds back
you wouldnt be able to use sounds even if they were in the free version
GIFs and PNGs are the only things you can render in it, and they both dont support sounds
theres no point, just buy the pro version
or pirate itwdym “sounds back” they didn’t go anywhere
Plzzzzzzzz addddddd soundsssss backkkkkkk
no
If you don’t i will say this over and over and over again
Yooo, thank you so much! This was a fun experience. Congrats to every other winners and the entries that were accepted as well.
your entry was amazing, i was debating having 2 winners for “best animated” but didn’t wanna start doing that because, it’s always gonna be tough…
since yours was also entertaining, it was placed in that category as to allow for someone else to place in the “best animated” category, tbh yours would be better in the animated category but eh
tl;dr your entry places well in both categories
I understand. You did what’s best for everyone.
Let’s goooo!didn’t expect that but here we go . Congrats to other winners as well, loved your entries <3
darkboy: haha whaaaat, little ol’ me?
also darkboy:
Tis just some sn effects , I will do better on the next collab intro and maybe ending. That is if I am hired to do it
I did it for the people 💪🏾
no you didn’t
Glad to participate!
“best character design” category next time fr tho
Ah man. Thought i would at least get an honorable mention:(
squi told me to give you an honorable mention and i still forgot
i failed both of you
fixed btw, and also added @beginninganimator too

I love you
Dude, if its any consolation, you did absolutely amazing with your part and would’ve been well deserved for a spot!
Nais collab 😮
Can’t wait for da next collab cuz I am late to start my entry
(Also did a same mistake for the winter collab)
Question
Do you host 1 collab for each seasons?
nah, not really, more for like just, whatever “major” event is around the corner
next will likely be christmas, although smaller event(s) may be held prior to that big collab
I will wait the next
