YES Stick Slayer IX is still under production! I have been working on it for a year, and don't expect to see it for another year. Suffice it to say it is the biggest project I have ever worked on, including Pimp's Quest!! Over 250 unique shots take a VERY VERY long time. But thanks for your interest! E-mail me for a sneak preview!

-Ben

** YIKES, BEN -- YOU LEFT US WAY TOO SOON ** Rest in peace, my beloved. We will so miss you. As of October 13, 2009 ... the creator of Stick Slayer, Pimp's Quest and all the others will have to zap his creativity from a higher venue. :(

Oct. 22, 2009 | 11:45 AM RKthrilla says:

I never really knew you, but Rest in peace...

Oct. 22, 2009 | 11:54 AM MindChamber says:

Ben, Man, WTF.. Me and you had plans. We were supposed to do movies together.
what about our plans to do some live features!! damn it!
We didn't talk much as much as we used to, but you know how I felt about you and your work. Just know it will be forever on NG inspiring new flash artists for years to come.

I watched a part of your Stick Slayer series a long, long time ago, but never knew you well on NG. In any case, your death is a real tragedy, and the NG community will miss you dearly.

R.I.P. Ben Spurgin.

Rest in peace.

Oct. 22, 2009 | 8:23 PM MaestroRage says:

Oct. 24, 2009 | 1:11 PM Snatah says:

Oct. 24, 2009 | 4:52 PM Sonucais says:

Ugh... how... :(

Oct. 24, 2009 | 5:33 PM usodstallion says:

RIP Ben. Didn't know you but...man. It certainly is scary seeing this: something you posted, something you were working on never to be revealed, and here we are leaving you comments you will never read. Talking to a dead man. It's scary.

Once again, RIP.

Oct. 24, 2009 | 6:37 PM SlimeManMan says:

So I take it, Stick Slayer IX won't be out for a while...

Rest in peace, Ben. I hardly knew ye.

Oct. 24, 2009 | 7:47 PM Jesuslizard says:

This faggot died.
From a stupid reason.
Do not pity him, for he deserved it.

Oct. 24, 2009 | 8:47 PM iBagel says:

R.I.P. man. You were a talented artist and I loved the Stick Slayer movies. This is a sad time for NG.

Oct. 25, 2009 | 4:52 PM xXShortEmoKidXx says:

Rest In Peace, ye who brought joy to The Land of Newgrounds, and smiles to its inhabitants. Though we will not see the ninth Stick Slayer, we will see your face whenever we watch one. Lie still, my friend, lie still. For you are too tired to carry on. Lie in peace, Ben. For you aren't truly going away. You will live on forever in our hearts and memories. Heroes get remembered, but Legends never die.

Oct. 26, 2009 | 12:00 AM FireSkull3 says:

TRo all the people who are waiting for this movie to come out or trhink everyone posting R.I.P. Ben is "trolling" I am just going to tell you all right now we are not joking. He's truly 100% dead, no doubt about it. This movie will never see the light of day. R.I.P. Ben. Game over indeed.

Oct. 26, 2009 | 7:31 AM ViolentAJ says:

I was looking forward to this. Wish that you could hvae stayed with us to finish it. We'll miss you.

Oct. 26, 2009 | 9:13 AM Rokas1337 says:

i LOL at your death! only dumb fuckers use drugs!

Oct. 26, 2009 | 10:56 AM Helbereth says:

Anyone saying 'lol you died' needs a reality check. Not to mention a swift kick in the nuts.

Stick Slayer was among the short list of submissions that inspired me to get flash in the first place. It's sad to know the series will never be finished, but even sadder to know why. You will be missed.

Oct. 26, 2009 | 1:53 PM Mavorick says:

Rest in peace Ben.

Oct. 26, 2009 | 4:41 PM HULK666 says:

As an open-minded guy who thinks that the anti-drug crowd is made up of at least 80% bullshit, I gotta say that heroin has fucking killed way too many people. Damn shame that you got caught up in that shit. All I can say is that I hope at least one person will hear about this happening to you and decide to stay away from that poison forever.
