Rising Star 2 has been gaining traction lately, and in its continued run on revealing its feature lists, there's a new wave of additional features that have been showcased. Over on their YouTube, there's now a set of videos highlighting a variety of ways in which your band can rock out. Whether it's creating their banner, writing songs or perfecting your setlist.

What's particualrly interesting about Rising Star 2, as a small indie title, is the fact that it's fairly unique. The nearest equivalent - certainly for me - is Football Manager. Even then, it's still incredibly unique due to the systems Gilligames have put in place. It's also super neat that you can buy your own apartment and drive around the city. 

There's still a long way to go until it launches on Steam, but defintiely one to Wishlist if you're after something that little bit different. Feature list and trailers below.
