Concept

A Twitch bot inspired by the most legendary streamer. 🦆

Project started off in February 2020 as a meme “What about creating a Tinder-like experience as a Twitch bot?”, but I got inspired to pivot and continue working with the concept in June 2020 and a first release at the end of July 2020.

You created a profile that described your interests and favorite Twitch emotes & streamer personalities. You could then find other profiles and try to connect with them. Connecting gave you a currency that you can collect, trade with other people and combine to make unique “battle emotes”.

Battle emotes were used to battle with your friends, by doing so you leveled them up to improve their statistics. These emotes were custom-made for the BeFriendlier project by commissioned artists and friends. Thank you for making them.

Whether you were just collecting emotes, or battling your friends, all of your progress was saved and put on a public leaderboard.
