He developed and supported many player facing multiplayer gameplay features using Star Engine. This includes among others the interaction system, item health and destruction, the room and atmosphere system, player created missions, energy and power distribution, designer systems for item creation, spline traversal to planetary surface locations, physically moving elevators, inventory, global persistence.
And now McKinney is moving over to Blizzard. At least he's secure in another position in the industry. Just another small story in the epic saga known as Star Citizen.
