Getting Started
byttenapple.com is the official community hub for the RottenAppleee Twitch stream. It's where every drawing from Gartic sessions lives, where stream regulars build profile cards, earn apple points, adopt pets, duel each other, and hang out between streams.
Most of the site is open to everyone β you can browse the gallery, look at profile cards, and read the feed without logging in. To earn apple points, customize your card, use the shop, or post in the feed you'll need to log in with your Twitch account.
Click "Login with Twitch" anywhere on the site. You'll be taken to Twitch's authorization page and then brought straight back. Your profile card is created automatically on first login β no extra steps needed.
No. This is a fan-built community site for the RottenAppleee stream. Twitch is only used for authentication (logging in) and for detecting when the stream is live.
The Orchard
The Orchard is the community profile system. Every logged-in viewer gets a collectible profile card that tracks their activity, level, apple points, duels, and personality. Think of it like a trading card that levels up as you hang out on stream.
It's automatic. Log in with Twitch and your card is created instantly. Visit /profile to see it and start customising. Your card starts at Level 1 as a Seedling and grows from there.
Character type reflects how you engage with the stream. It changes automatically as your stats grow.
XP is earned through stream activity β chatting, pulling apples, winning duels, and watching. Your XP fills a bar that advances you through level milestones. Each level unlocks a new title shown on your card.
Levels go from 1 upward with no hard cap. As you level up your card title changes (Seedling Keeper β Shadow Keeper β etc.), and your character type can evolve. Higher-level players appear first in The Orchard leaderboard.
Go to /profile and use the card editor. You can change your portrait (upload any image), card colour, frame style, background pattern, title, lore text, mood emoji, and active pet. Everything updates live in the preview before you save.
Yes. Every card has a public URL at /profile/[yourtwitchname]. The Orchard page (/orchard) shows all cards. Your card also shows up on stream overlays during events.
Apple Points
Apple Points are the main currency of the community. They're earned in real time while you're watching and chatting on the RottenAppleee Twitch stream. Your total is tracked on your profile card and shown on the leaderboard.
There are three ways to earn apples β all happen on stream:
When you redeem Get Apples there's a small chance you pull a Diamond Apple instead of a regular one. A Diamond Apple is worth 25 apples. It also counts for 3Γ toward your pet's level score and shows as a special badge on your card.
No. Your apple points accumulate forever. They only decrease if you lose a duel or spend them in the Shop.
Two ways: the Shop (/orchard/shop) lets you buy card frames, colours, patterns, and pets. You can also spend apples on song requests β use the song request channel point reward on Twitch and it'll cost you apples.
Duels
Duels are 1v1 apple-point battles you start from Twitch chat. You wager a number of apples, your opponent accepts, and the outcome is decided. The winner takes the pot.
In the Twitch chat type: !duel @username [amount] β for example !duel @4pplee_ 500. The other person then has a short window to accept with !accept. If they don't accept, nothing happens.
Win: you receive the wagered apple points from your opponent's balance. Lose: those points leave your balance. Both outcomes are tracked on your card (Duels Won / Duels Lost) and influence your character type progression.
Yes. Your card displays Duels Won prominently. Winning duels is also one of the four factors that level up your pet, and a high duel win count can push your character type toward Duelist.
No. The bot checks both balances before confirming the duel. You can only wager up to the amount the other person actually has.
Pets
Pets are animated companions that live on your profile card. They sit above the portrait area and have their own level that grows alongside your activity. Each pet has a unique look and personality description.
Buy one from the Shop (/orchard/shop) with Apple Points. Prices range from 300 to 2000 apples depending on the pet. Once purchased, go to /profile/pet (or the pet editor) and activate it on your card.
Your pet's level (1β10) is calculated from a score based on four things:
Every 10 points = 1 level. Max level is 10 (Legendary). Level label goes from Hatchling β Baby β Young β Growing β Playful β Bonded β Loyal β Veteran β Elder β Legendary.
On the pet editor page (/profile/pet) you can give your pet a custom name up to 20 characters. This name shows on your card instead of the default species name. Call it whatever you want.
Yes. You can own multiple pets and switch between them any time from /profile/pet. Only one pet shows on your card at a time, but the others stay in your collection.
Community pets are custom pet artwork submitted by stream viewers. If your submission gets approved by an admin, it goes into the shop for anyone to buy β and every purchase sends you 100 apple points as a royalty.
Go to /orchard/pets. Upload a PNG (transparent background works best), give it a name and description, and submit. An admin reviews it and either approves it (it goes live in the shop) or rejects it with a note.
The Shop
The shop sells card customisation items and pets. Categories include card frames (visual borders with glow effects), card colours (the accent colour throughout your card), card patterns (background textures), and pets (companions for your card).
Patterns are background textures in the portrait area of your card. Options include Plain (solid), Leaves (leaf motif), Apples (apple rings), Stars (starfield), Wood (diagonal stripes), and Bloom (radial gradient). Pick one that matches your vibe.
Yes. You can own every frame, colour, pet, and pattern β they all stay in your inventory. On the card editor you pick which ones are active. No need to re-buy anything.
The Common frame and plain pattern are free for everyone. Your starting card colour is the default green. Everything else costs apple points.
Gallery
The Gallery (/gallery) is an archive of every drawing created during Gartic Phone sessions on the RottenAppleee stream. You can filter by session, by artist, or browse all drawings sorted by date or likes.
A session is one Gartic Phone game played during a stream. All the drawings from that game are grouped together under a single session entry with a title and date. Browse them at /sessions.
The Streamer.bot setup on stream automatically captures and uploads drawings at the end of each Gartic session via the bot-upload API. Drawings are matched to the artist's Twitch login and stored permanently.
Yes. Go to /upload to submit a personal drawing. It gets added to your artist profile and shows in the gallery as a personal upload β separate from stream session drawings.
Yes, click the heart on any drawing card. Likes are tracked and feed the /leaderboard which ranks the most-loved drawings of all time.
Each artist has a dedicated page at /artists/[twitchlogin] showing all their drawings across every session, plus their personal uploads. There's also a link to their profile card if they're an orchard member.
Community Feed
The Feed (/feed) is a simple community board where stream regulars can post text updates, announcements, stream highlights, or anything else. It's like a lightweight message board that lives alongside all the other features.
Log in with Twitch, go to /feed, and type in the post box. Posts can be any length. Other people can like your posts with the heart button.
Keep it related to the community and stream. Spam, harassment, or anything that would violate Twitch's community guidelines doesn't belong here. Admins can remove posts.
Artists
The Artists page (/artists) lists everyone who has ever drawn during a Gartic session on stream. Each entry links to that person's drawing archive. Artists are added automatically when session drawings are uploaded.
No. Artist profiles are created from the Twitch login in the drawing filename β you don't have to have ever visited the site. If you drew on stream, you're in the gallery.
Yes. If your Twitch login matches a registered orchard member, your artist page will automatically show a link to your profile card and vice versa.
Jump into the Twitch chat or the community feed and ask. The orchard is friendly.
