- Absolutely wonderful construction from Adam for MORSE! It's such a delight seeing these electronics projects come into form and the methodical documentation that comes with it.
- Feels good to finally get back to making weird stuff
- Love me some jank
- A new website about PC games, from me, @brendyc.bsky.social and @jonhicks.com. Reader-supported, which means no ads, no guff, and lots of games blogging about delightful things to play. If you liked our work on RPS, we think you'll like @jank.cool.
- Since launch, MORSE has inspired a variety of weird and wonderful homebrew telegraph controllers, so I’ve put together an article highlighting community projects. Look here at what folks are making! 🛠️📻👀 store.steampowered.com/news/app/197... #hamradio #morse #homebrew #gamedev #indiedev
- Absolutely delighted that Riley had opportunity to give MORSE a look and write such lovely things about the project! "The whole game requires a kind of intentionality and level-headedness to succeed at that, when I pull it off, really makes me feel like I’m mastering a skill."
- As an early Christmas present to the ham radio community and MORSE players...🎄 Introducing the Teaspoon Telegraph, a beautifully crafted, open-source games controller and telegraph key designed by @nachimir.bsky.social! Learn more here: ympt.co.uk/teaspoontx.h... #hamradio #MORSE #indiedev #maker

- It was such a pleasure chatting with Ross at EGX about the game and how Morse Code connected to his Grandfather, I am truly humbled by his writeup here and the palpable excitement in his voice on the Finger Guns podcast. Definitely give it a listen. #hamradio #gamedev #amateurradio #morse
- I actually got a bit teary coming across this: Someone posted to the MORSE Steam forums this beautifully assembled homebrew Iambic telegraph key. JUST LOOK AT THE INTERNALS OF THIS THING #hamradio #ham #radioham #gamedev #morse #indie
- These are my kind of people. It's so satisfying to see that with even a small amount of encouragement, folks will venture far outside the box of how we conventionally control games, and how abundant and varied that expression becomes! #hamradio #morsecode #gamedev #altctrl #morse
- MORSE will be exhibiting at EGX Birmingham this weekend, come along and try the game out with a glowing telegraph, bring your telegraph too if you fancy playing with your own key! www.egx.net/global/en-gb... @egxofficial.bsky.social #hamradio #gamedev #morsecode #morse #egx #mcm
- Hello MORSE community tonight’s stream is unfortunately cancelled, I, through a faulty usb have put my laptop into a shutdown state, I need to reset and fix it, my apologies for this mishap, I will reschedule this soon. 73, Alex
- Going to be streaming my Morse Code game on Steam in just under an hour, I'll be using my glowing telegraph and assortment of different Morse keys! See you soon: store.steampowered.com/app/1976860/... #hamradio #gamedev #morsecode #morse
- Had the pleasure of being interviewed by Bob McCreadie from the TX Factor at National Hamfest in September to chat about MORSE, a game to encourage people to engage with amateur radio. I had to share the video introduction as it put a huge smile on my face when I watched for the first time
- Case in point: I just used the instructions in the third image's instructions to configure a telegraph to work with a computer with an Arduino for Good Game Dev Festival next week! goodgamedev.co.uk #hamradio #morse #cw #indiedev #games

- We don't know. What we do know is the wiring diagram works. We built it, virtually, in @godotengine.org. We fed it scans of the books we found. And the books are very, very strange. The "game" that resulted is also strange. We're hoping people can make sense of it for us.

- Regardless of how MORSE ends up commercially performing, getting to encourage participation with alternative controllers around the world through MORSE is such a privilege, I am so excited for seeing all the different kinds of telegraphs you come up with (and to fashion your designs myself). ❤️
- MORSE rubbing shoulders with @gamemakerstoolkit.com on the Steam "Typing Games" trending list AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA this is so exciting!
- Was just sat in on a stream of MORSE on a ham radio discord, chatting with a Morse hardware designer, a Western Star truck driver from North Dakota and a ham who played MORSE at Hamfest with his homebrew Iambic key fashioned out of a plug socket. This hobby is such a trip #hamradio #morsecode #games
- MORSE has been received well : )
- The Kaisers fleet approaches! Use timing, tactics and telegraphy to thwart the attack and learn a lost language. MORSE is now available on Steam, give it a play and start your journey into amateur radio! store.steampowered.com/app/1976860/... #hamradio #gamedev #morsecode
- David has been an incredible producer and collaborator to work with, us delivering both MORSE but also co-creating games installations with local school children for Plug in and Play games festival in Rotherham less than two weeks before MORSE shipped. It has been a busy few months to say the least!

- After working on MORSE for ten years, I'm honestly so bloody chuffed to have finally got this done, thank you to everyone who has patiently waited for the project to release and thanks to all who helped me realise the game. I do hope MORSE meets your expectations.
