Scroll to the bottom for the Stick Nodes plans for 2024!

Firstly, congratulations to DownwardGhostly for winning the Rock, Paper, Krampus event – the Christmas website event this holiday season. Below is the final scoreboard as of January 1st, the game ran for (nearly) the entire month of December and the winner was promised a $50 prize.

So, here’s another “yearly roundup” post for you to see today. These past 365 days saw a lot of events on the internet. Back when the year began, Twitter was still Twitter and “Barbie” was just a doll. Later on, Grimace launched his lethal shake and “skibidi” would have made no sense if you were to say that word to someone. (To be honest, it still doesn’t make sense even now but whatever.) But now let’s look back on Stick Nodes specifically.

When the year began, Stick Nodes was at version 3.3.4. This version was actually released in April of 2022 lol. This was the update that introduced Drop Shadow filter, frame repeat, auto-saving created stickfigures, and a doubled node frame limit. Also, this was the wind-down from the community collab, Merry Madness.

Ralph gets another year ancient, Demonbot breaks the site, the “sprite update progress” meter continues to troll, Jade stops sleeping, and “annoy Squidward day” breaks the site to a laggy and unloadable mess for weeks.

The website continues to be unusable until Mike makes an appearance and fixes it – the website is now hosted with Hetzner and has a speedy dedicated server. Also the SNU gets some backstory and Fedora enters the fray with the typical villain-turned-ally anime trope.

More minor 4.0.X updates to SN continue, entries for “Stick Idol” continue to flood into the community as Ralph releases pics of Stick Nodes PC. And on August 19th, the collab launches (worth a rewatch for the banger music videos). The winners are announced and Stick Nodes turns 9 years old!

Lots of normal September stuff and also ItzQwerty comes back with his Kin series, the website mysteriously started showing ad popups for a week or two, and Gigan comes out as trans (okay again, maybe this is fake news).

Stick Nodes 4.1.0, the “Curves, Holes, and Fills” update launches and has subsequent minor updates. Art, music, logs, stickfigures, and general normal chaos! Also, Arcionek manages a smaller #Stickmas2023 event, which is just a general Christmas-themed community event to showcase anything and everything “Stick Nodes but it’s festive”.

📅 December

The website undergoes its usual Christmas decor and Rock, Paper, Krampus launches as the holiday website game, the #Stickmas2023 continues, and scarlet loses her mind due to lack of Spotify.

What Does 2024 Have In Store?

A few things maybe! Updates will continue to the Stick Nodes app. Currently at version 4.1.5, there are a few more 4.X.X updates to add small (and somewhat big) things. But eventually, a 5.0.0 is planned that will change the game.
