Often when I\u2019m working on a story, I end up with a song or two that serves as musical inspiration and a sort of unofficial theme song.\u00a0 Sometimes I get the actual story idea from the song, and sometimes I just find a song that I think fits well with the story.<\/p>\n
So what about for Aurora\u2019s Nightmare?\u00a0 Well, when I was first planning out the story, Hotel California<\/a> by The Eagles was a big inspiration…at least for one particular scene.\u00a0 See if you can figure out which scene when you play the game.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t make it too obvious, but I left a couple of hints that shouldn\u2019t be hard to spot if you\u2019re looking.<\/p>\n But, once I decided to make Aurora\u2019s Nightmare into a visual novel and got to work on the script, I found another song.\u00a0 Specifically, My Heart is Broken<\/a> by Evanescence.\u00a0 It\u2019s a really good song in and of itself but, when I listened to it, it was like the lyrics had been written for Aurora\u2019s Nightmare.\u00a0 They just fit the story so well\u2026\u00a0 I\u2019d explain how, but that would be spoilers.\u00a0 Actually, I\u2019d like to license My Heart is Broken and make it the game\u2019s theme song for real.\u00a0 Though, unless Amy Lee reads this and decides to give me a discount, it\u2019s not really in the budget right now.\u00a0 Never say never though\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Often when I\u2019m working on a story, I end up with a song or two that serves as musical inspiration and a sort of unofficial theme song.\u00a0 Sometimes I get the actual story idea from the song, and sometimes I just find a song that I think fits well with the story.
