Before we jump in to the patch notes, we just saw Miscreated is partnering up with Moon Collider to implement Kythera AI into their game! This not only will affect the behavior of mutant enemies, but wildlife and even human bandits will become extra challenging.

Now onto the patch notes!

Miscreated: Patch #33

Original post

Bicycles
This patch adds bicycles to the game! The physics for the bicycles still needs to be improved, but we feel they are good enough for now to release to all servers. They do not require any parts to work, but they also despawn after a few hours of not being used as a result. We welcome your feedback on what you think of them!

TrackIR
This game update adds support for Natural Point's TrackIR head tracking system: naturalpoint.com/trackir Support has been added for adjusting the camera's pitch, yaw, roll, and left/right leaning. Keybinds have been added to recenter the view and to also disable TrackIR when not being used.

FaceTrackNoIR/Opentrack
Support was also added to perform head tracking using a face cam, but this solution isn't as fast or a precise as using a dedicated hardware based solution such as TrackIR.
