Here's what that outreach mode looks like in practice: MORSE is currently on display in Strasbourg, so I tracked down the name of the local (REF67) and national (REF) amateur radio clubs and added them to MORSE to give players a direct local connection to engaging with the hobby.

Pushed an update out for MORSE today with a suite of features to support Amateur Radio including an outreach mode for radio clubs to use, a non-visual Morse input mode, support for Vband and more! Read about it here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/197... #hamradio #morse #gamedev #morsecode

My 2026 prediction is that as devs lean harder into the harmful aesthetics and mechanisms of an explicitly addictive industry, the escalating arms race of indie gambling "simulators" will quietly rot games from the inside out. It's wild how the scourge of Loot Boxes faded from memory so quickly.

Unironically getting to build outdoor games tailored for nuns would be such an interesting design brief

I worked on my final indie game, MORSE on and off for ten years, it's been moderately successful (to a point I could feasibly make something else) but I'm at peace with never making a game that big ever again. Looking forward to making much, much smaller experiences for audiences outside of games.

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

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."

In keeping with New Year Festivities, I'm pushing out a small update to overhaul the explosions in MORSE! Your artillery is now composed of animated fireballs, smoke and splashes. 🎆 #hamradio #morse #gamedev #pixelart #vfx

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

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

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

Thanks to all for the wonderful response to MORSE! One of the highlights of the games' development I'd like to shine a light on was showing it at UK National Hamfest in September, as guests of the Radio Society of Great Britain! (- .... .-. . .- -..) #hamradio #hamfest #indiegame #gamedev

This is just such a lovely, kinetic and characterful UI.

if you're a streamer looking for a way to stand out, have you considered getting really into morse code and only playing games that support a telegraph key?

My strategy game, MORSE released this week! MORSE teaches you Morse Code through timing, tactics and telegraphy. Learn a secret language, build your own telegraph and jump head first down the rabbit hole of ham radio. 🔥⚓️⚫️➖ #hamradio #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #morsecode

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 : )

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!

I really enjoy when a person's such a huge nerd about a subject that they make a whole videogame about it. You can tell it's made with so much heart

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.

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

I cannot quite describe how excited I am about MORSE coming out tomorrow, pretty certain I'm not going to sleep a wink this evening.

My grandmother was a telegraph operator during WW1 while her "boyfriend" (my soon to be grandfather) was overseas dodging god know what the Germans were throwing at them. She taught me this one with a wink in her later years ⚫⚫⚫ ⚫⚫⚫⚫ ⚫⚫ ⬛ 💩

MORSE by @alexvscoding.bsky.social This #roguethingie #indiegame is ridiculously neat & coming out in 3 days. Use & maybe even learn morse code to defend against incoming ships. Trust me, try the demo, or, better yet, just buy it! bit.ly/MORSEgame #indiedev #towerdefense #strategygame #roguelite

Ahead of MORSE's launch next week, I'll be streaming the game with my glowing telegraph setup on the Online Amateur Radio Community (OARC) Discord at 5pm (GMT)! Join us! oarc.uk/join #hamradio #morsecode #gamedev #games

.... . .-.. .-.. --- #pitchyagame! MORSE is a strategy game that teaches you the lost language of Morse Code through timing, tactics and telegraphy. Designed to be compatible with different Telegraph Key types, releasing on Steamdeck and PC, November 11th! #hamradio #gamedev

Indie games, people. This mechanic is so obscure, I love it. The demo has been quite the experience. Also, just in time for me tackling the Short Range Certificate!

It has been a long, long road finishing this project, but MORSE, my strategy game that teaches telegraphy, finally releases on Steam November 11th. To those who've waited, thank you for your patience. #hamradio #morsecode #gamedev #games #indiedev

Highly recommend checking out the demo for MORSE, a game where you essentially play battleship against the Kaiser using Morse code inputs. store.steampowered.com/app/1976860/...

Holy crap, someone beat the MORSE demo not missing a single shot, that is absolutely bonkers and I love it

Play is disappearing from public life. But it's not too late! If we take even a fraction of what we pour into in a wasteful, extractive games industry and use it to engage the playless majority such as those in care homes, we can take the first steps to address play inequality.

MORSE featured on @newgrounds! ❤️ Had some lovely comments about the game too : )

Ten years after the original game prototype made its debut on @newgrounds.com, MORSE is back on Newgrounds with a fresh look. Give it a go and let me know what you think! www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/...

Got such a silly big grin on my face from seeing this review, I really hope I can live up to the hype!
