Guide: Installing Primal Threat on Linux with Steam Proton

This guide describes how to use Steam Proton to play and run Windows games on your Linux computer. Some games may not work or may break because Steam Proton is still at a very early stage.


1. Activating Steam Proton for Linux:
Proton is integrated into the Steam Client with "Steam Play." To activate proton, go into your steam client and click on Steam in the upper right corner. Then click on settings to open a new window. From here, click on the Steam Play button at the bottom of the panel. Click "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles."

Alternatively: Go to Steam > Settings > Steam Play and turn on the "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles" option.

Valve has tested and fixed some Steam titles and you will now be able to play most of them. However, if you want to go further and play titles that even Valve hasn't tested, toggle the "Enable Steam Play for all titles" option.


2. Choose a version
You should use the Steam Proton version recommended by Steam: 3.7-8. This is the most stable version of Steam Proton at the moment.


3. Restart your Steam
After you have successfully activated Steam Proton, click "OK" and Steam will ask you to restart it for the changes to take effect. Restart it. Your computer will now play all of steam's whitelisted games seamlessly.


4. Launch Stardew Valley on Linux:
Before you can use Steam Proton, you must first download the Stardew Valley Windows game from Steam. When you download Stardew Valley for the first time, you will notice that the download size is slightly larger than the size of the game.
This happens because Steam will download your chosen Steam Proton version with this game as well. After the download is complete, simply click the "Play" button.

What is Primal Threat? Features and Description

Blast cyborg dinosaurs and other dangerous creatures in this side-scrolling action/adventure! Explore an ancient labyrinth full of upgrades, weapons, and secrets to save your planet from a primal threat!

Story:
An ancient alien race is trying to destroy worlds and take their powers; Earth is next! Take on the role of Dean or Ellie, pick up your weapon and save your planet and possibly the galaxy!


Key Features:
-Explore an ancient labyrinth consisting of 7 interconnected zones
-Blast cyborg dinosaurs and other dangerous creatures with 6 different weapons (Primal Elements)
-Discover up to 10 upgrades to help defeat your enemies and reach new areas
-Fight alone or take a friend and play 2-player co-op
-Battle 11 challenging bosses


Developer Notes:
Local Multiplayer Notes: At least one controller is required to play 2-player co-op. This is due to both players cannot be controlled by one keyboard.
Overlay Notes: At this time, I am unable to get the Steam Overlay to work correctly at this time. I hope to fix this soon.
File Save Notes: While testing, I found that when I reopened the file 1 save, the file 2 and file 3 saves got erased (overwritten as needed games). So for now, I have removed file 2 and file 3 saves until I can get this fixed.


About Developer:
Hello, my name is Jordan and created Primal Threat in my spare time. I work at a grocery store, and I’m one of the managers, so I try to dedicate an hour or two each evening on my dream game. When my son Dean was born in July of 2020, my wife and I decided to decorate his room with a dinosaur theme and my imagination went wild with ideas for my next game. Dean and my niece Ellie are the two main characters in this adventure. I developed Primal Threat on my own, but my cousin Kristian created all the music.

My first game was Muzzleloaded. I believe it was a great learning project, but there were certain features that I couldn't create, which I was eventually able to implement in Primal Threat such as: A revealing map, multiple weapons to equip, local co-op, and multiple upgrades such as transforming into a tiny dinosaur!

Primal Threat is a short, but true Metroidvania where upgrades are necessary for overcoming bosses, enemies, and obstacles. The enemy designs are inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog enemies. The level design is highly inspired by Metroid and the shooting/weapon change mechanic by Axiom Verge.

The co-op mode is a throwback to Sonic the Hedgehog 2 where Tails gets to join Sonic on their epic adventure. It does make the game easier having a friend to help, but through playtesting it so far, it is a blast!

Primal Threat's hook is doing tremendous damage to enemies by shooting them with a weapon of complimentary color. There are 6 weapons for players to find throughout the world, each having a different color based on which zone it is found. Players who can correctly change weapons on the fly will be able to eliminate enemies quickly.

Thank you so much for your interest in my game!

Sincerely,
Jordan Keith
