Today is Morse Code day! This week the game is 20% off and I'll be updating the demo with a bunch of features to help with Amateur Radio outreach and plenty the polish. Read more about it here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/197... #hamradio #morse #gamedev #morsecode #morsecodeday

Experimenting with turning warm teapots into games controllers for folks living with dementia : )

Just in case there's any ambiguity, April fools : )

Extremely excited to announce I've secured a partnership with @johnromero.bsky.social to bring the DOOMhandle to market, stay tuned for more details! 🔥🚪🔥 #doom #gamedev #games

Doing a bold re-imagining of DOOM

I am really looking forward to this next week! Props to Susie and the team for bringing it all together.

I am extremely excited to announce that MORSE now has 3 dedicated training modes to sharpen your telegraphy skills - Calibration, Speed and Listening! Really chuffed with how seamlessly these educational modes integrate into the game. #hamradio #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #games #morse

Nice to see MORSE getting a mention on here! "I could describe it as a kind of tower-defence real-time twist on Battleships, but really it’s a frantic and frequently overwhelming game about using Morse to fight off incoming enemies and it’s utterly original in all the important aspects." WHEEEEEE

Connected up this little fella to the Teaspoon Telegraph 💧 #hamradio #games #morsecode

"Even if we can't go to the store together anymore, there are ways the games I've connected with her can still hold a special place." A very sweet writing by Jesse about games, care and intergenerational bonds 🍃

More videogames should be controlled with wizard staffs

My partner flashed HELLO in Morse Code at me whilst walking towards her car : ) What a gem ❤️

Here's a preview of one of MORSE's 3 new training modes: Test your ability recognising the sound of letters in Morse Code. Update arriving next week! 👂⚫ ⚫◼️ ⚫◼️⚫ #hamradio #morsecode #morse #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #games

Very excited to be finally adding a calibration tutorial to MORSE, so folks can have a better understanding of how to tweak their telegraph. Coming soon! 🎚️ #hamradio #morsecode #gamedev #games

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

YESSSSS MORE CRYPTOGRAPHY THEMED GAMES PLEEEEASE -... .-.. . - -.-. .... .-.. .. -.- . ...

noclip_2 covers areas of games development that traditional media often can't afford to. it's hard work discovering, researching and playing all these games, and we're a shoestring budget, but we're excited to do more in 2026 - so if you can support us please do. patreon.com/noclip2

MORSE's launch discount of 20% off ends in less than an hour! Grab it whilst you can! store.steampowered.com/app/1976860/... #hamradio #gamedev #morsecode

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
