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

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!

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.

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?

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). ❤️
@alexvscoding.bsky.social the trick with the butchered USB mouse works pretty well! Enjoying the game!

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.

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.

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

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.
