NeuroLeveL is an innovative open-source project designed to significantly enhance the user experience on Discord. Its primary goal is to foster improved user interactions and provide a more enriching environment for large communities on the platform. For those new to NeuroLeveL, a deeper dive into its origins and previous updates can be found in the introductory articles ‘Intro to NeuroLeveL’ and ‘What was 1.01?’.

During its development, the creators faced a crucial decision: whether to build a complete user environment directly or to establish a foundational framework that would empower other bots to create their own unique user experiences. This, combined with simultaneous work on various other projects, shaped the focus for the next iteration.

With the upcoming version 1.02, the development team is particularly focused on understanding and leveraging user emotions and engagement within conversations to intelligently distribute experience points (XP). This approach aims to make XP gains more meaningful and reflective of genuine interaction.

The plans for V 1.02 include several exciting new functionalities:
* Contextual Message Processing: Implementing advanced contextual analysis for messages exchanged in Discord channels.
* Relative Scoring for XP: Introducing a system where messages that are supportive, communicative, or generally improve user interactions will be rewarded with higher XP gains.
* Channel Mood Decider: A new feature to assess the overall mood of a channel, which will be instrumental in triggering various bot events (currently under development).
* Involvement Latency Checks: Incorporating mechanisms to gauge user activity and interest levels, ensuring more accurate reflection of engagement.

These outlined features represent the current roadmap for V 1.02. It’s important to note that these plans are flexible, and additional functionalities or refinements to existing features from earlier versions may also be integrated.

The development team is enthusiastic about these upcoming additions and encourages the community to share any suggestions in the comments below, contributing to the evolution of NeuroLeveL.
