Here's a sneak peek at the upcoming map of Europe...

Europe has more populated cities than the U.S. & Canada seem to have, so the map is pretty crowded compared to the U.S. & Canada.

Obviously, I'm working my way from west to east in adding cities.

There's a few things worth pointing out on this screenshot:

1. The map is now zoomable, which helps add more cities into tight spots, as well as give you a wider view of the entire region.
   
2. Several major cities have a jet icon and slightly larger text, indicating that travel between regions is permitted to & from those cities directly.
   
3. Europe is filled with major islands and ferry service for crossing the water with ground vehicles. In the game, ferry routes are indicated by the yellow lines.
   
4. Some cities now have their name on the left of the dot instead of the right, which makes things much nicer to avoid overlapping city names.

I'm working on some big stuff for the next update.

Rising Star 2 (and the original) has always had the most dedicated, hardcore fans. More than just veteran gamers, you guys are music lovers. You're from all over the world. In my book, that puts you above and beyond the best fans!

Valve has told developers about an upcoming awards event, where players get to nominate their favorite games for various awards. So, I'm inviting you to consider nominating Rising Star 2 for the "Sit Back and Relax" category.
