+_Akigi butcher skill_
+
+[Akigi][akigi] is a WIP online multiplayer game.
+
+In November, focus was put on gameplay. Prototyping of a butcher skill was done,
+which will allow for animals to be turned into raw resources. Support for
+rendering shadows in the MetalRenderer was added, bringing it one step closer to
+the WebGlRenderer. Lots of work was put into the ability to fire a bow. This
+spanned a few weeks, however enough functionaly was added for it to feel like a
+solid part of gameplay. It still requires some polish, however, which will be
+the focus of the beginning of December.
