==Further notes==
* Aurora Creek is located in the same real-world location as the unincorporated community of Elsie.
* Early into development, the nearby real world city of Aurora was to serve as the story's primary locale, particularly due to the town's origins as a religious commune. However, author Todd Cooper felt the town was a bit too small and close to the major hub of Portland and vouched instead to invent a fictional location due to the artistic and geographical freedom inherit. As such, Aurora Creek also borrows notable influence from several real-world communities including Jacksonville, Cottage Grove, Hood River, Silverton, and Tillamook. 
*Snow In Summer's setting of rural western Oregon (as opposed to Washington) arose partially as a nod to the 2013 video game Gone Home and from the desire to set the story in a more geographically isolated locale. After deciding to make the setting a fictional one, the name of 'Aurora Creek' was chosen, partially in homage to the initial real-world setting, but also to another video game property: Life Is Strange (as 'Aurora Creek' itself was a name used early development name for what would eventually become the coastal town of Arcadia Bay). Much like Snow In Summer, both games are set in small Oregon towns, and center around teen-aged female LGBT protagonists.
