It’s a truly exciting and rewarding day for the journey of Christopher’s research in to music, videogames and storytelling. His university research thesis, ‘The Narrative Role of Music in Role-playing Games - Final Fantasy VII’ was picked up by the industry hub, Gamasutra. After exchanging a few drafts, an abridged version of Christopher’s work is now available online at the Game Career Guide homepage under ‘features’.

“It’s really difficult to know where the best place for your hard work is. Many of my friends and colleagues have had a read through but I’ve always wanted it to just be out there and available to people interested in videogame music! And when your music or writing is appreciated by people outside of academia it reminds us why we search videogames and new media endlessly for an insight into the wider picture of play, interactivity and storytelling.
I just hope someone will pass it to Uematsu, the original composer for Final Fantasy!”
