MORSE FINALLY RELEASES 11/11/2025
[p]The time has come! MORSE has a release date...[/p]![]()
[/p][p]You can check out the launch trailer here: MORSE - Official Release Date Announcement Trailer[/p][p][/p][p]Here are some of the features of the final game:[/p]![]()
[/p][p][/p][p]I got thoroughly burnt out from MORSE a couple of years ago and had to come to terms with the fact the game may never see release. But, at the start of this year I realised 2025 marked the 10th year of MORSE's existence, and decided that it had to be finished. Through a lot of hard work and the support of good friends, the goal has been reached.[/p][p][/p][p]This achievement is however bittersweet; MORSE represents my swan song for my time in games development. Whilst I love the medium of games and have thoroughly enjoyed my career in the industry, this will be my last major commercial games project before I focus on my research and advocacy around designing play for the elderly and people with dementia. [/p][p][/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]It is rare for developers (particularly during this difficult industry landscape) to end their career in games on their terms and on a high. Regardless of how MORSE does on launch, I'm very happy with the game I've built, proud of myself for committing to completion and am so eager to see if the game can help bring new people into amateur radio. The engagement with the ham radio community has been deeply enriching so far, I hope MORSE can inspire others to consider designing tailored experiences to engage other passionate communities in need of support. [/p][p][/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]Having said all this, my departure from games doesn't mean I'll be ditching MORSE. I have update plans for the project which I'll elaborate on once launch is out of the way. At the very least, I want to continue touring the game around Hamfests and events dedicated to preserving and growing Amateur Radio, MORSE serving as a tool for outreach and education. There's also still one major reveal that we're yet to share.[/p][p][/p][p]If you've found MORSE interesting, please consider reaching out to friends, community groups or streamers to tell them about the project. Whilst I feel confident about the quality of the game, I am very aware in the current climate, there's no guarantee of quality translating to success. [/p][p][/p][p]Thank you again to everyone who has been patient in awaiting the release, in particular those who have followed MORSE for years now. I truly hope the game meets your expectations.[/p][p][/p][p]73, Alex[/p]

A Long Road
[p][/p][p]I'm so excited to finally be getting the game out of the door, MORSE has been a long time coming since the Flash origins of the project back in 2015. It's gone through numerous iterations and settled on on a form that's deliverable but still true to the original's vision. I can't quite believe it's finally complete.[/p][p][/p][p]
