Hey guys, it’s been a while since an update. Got lots of stuff to talk about, so let me break it down into categories.
Why is was the website so slow?
So Stick Nodes is a pretty popular app. Apparently, it’s more popular than my hosting plan could handle. Around the beginning of December this website began to slow to a crawl due to the number of visitors per day, it was using up too much CPU power.
I’m glad to say that as of right now, I’ve upgraded the hosting plan and things seem to be great. I will be monitoring the performance of the site. Right now things are blazing fast, but that’s because many of you are still not able to access the new site (it’s no problem, your browsers will eventually be updated in the coming hours). If things slow down again, I’ll be forced to make a bigger hosting plan upgrade, but that’s for me to worry about.
Where are all of the new stickfigures?
I haven’t uploaded new stickfigures in over a month, and I’m sorry about that. I have all of the stickfigures you guys have been submitting, all 383 of them, I just haven’t manually gone through them and approved, screenshotted, and uploaded them yet.
I was waiting for the website to be fixed, as uploading stickfigures where each page-load took 10+ seconds would have gotten old really, really fast. My plan is to upload 20 new stickfigures every day until I’ve gone through the entire backlog and caught up. I will start uploading new stickfigures tomorrow.
What happened to the giveaway?
This is my bad.
I was following through with the giveaway, and actually contacted three of the winners (two of which I still need to get in touch with), but then things got hectic for me.
To keep a long story short, the craziness of the holidays coupled with personal family issues prevented me from keeping up with the giveaway, so please forgive me for the lies. I will make it up to you and hold some type of similar giveaway in the near future.
Where is the iOS “sounds” update?
I have to be honest, I haven’t worked on it for a few weeks. This is again due to the same reasons that prevented me from following through with the Christmas giveaway.
I will get back to work on this update this week, and am already very far into getting it working. I will have new updates within a week on an ETA for release.
What now?
Okay, that’s all for now. I’m sorry for the absence these past weeks, but a lot of crazy stuff just came out of nowhere all at once and I was in no position to keep up with the demand of managing the Stick Nodes community.
Things should be returning to normal now, though.

Hey Ralph, just a suggestion for the next update, it would be cool if you made it so that we could have multiple pictures per animation. Yeah, I know, you can choose to remove the current background pic, but you can only have one per animation. Is that a possible future function, or will mobile limitations prevent it?
Yeah, that’s limited because of mobile devices, memory specifically. It’s been requested a lot before, and I’d love to add it, but I think it’d cause more problems than it’s worth.
Dang, that would’ve been pretty cool for a project that I’m working on 😉 But in all seriousnous, is it a possible sticknodes desktop function, or will it be too much trouble? Also, I think I asked this before, but I never got a clear answer: when desktop comes out, will there be a limit to sound size, or will it be bigger, but still limited?
Will you post all of the 383 Stickfigures? Or just take like 20 of them each day?
Oh you will post them 20 each day. SORRY I DONT READ STUFF
Hey Ralph in the next update. When i deleted a stickfigure and add another one like goku is charging up and i deleted him and added an SSJ one. And in a split second you can see the stickfigure was deleted and added a new one in the next frame.
Hm, I’m trying to figure out what you’re referring to. Can you explain in a little more detail?
He means when you delete a stick figure and put a new one (regardless if they’re the same) the app won’t read it as the same sticknode and will instead display a brief moment when its deleted and add again
Lol, sorry, but I’m still a little lost. I just opened a new project, added some frames with the default stickfigure in them.
Then, I selected the default stickfigure, deleted him, and then added a new one (same stickfigure) in it’s place.
Nothing weird happened? I assume I didn’t do it right?
Maybe I’m Fire Hazard
Hey Ralph in the next update you should add Vcam or customize the background picture (move,strectch) is possible? by the way i`m requesting something “HOT” for animators like “FearlessAnimations” “Neon Anims” and me “Heckray Anims” we re good animating battles in Stick Nodes, is you add that we will get crazy using it, and it will be very great to do effects.
PD : my device doesnt work, im not animating for a time XP
20 new characters a day aye??…..I only counted 20 this weekend
Sorry, got under the weather out of nowhere, will resume today (Wednesday).
where’s yesterdays stick figures
