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.

FEATURES:

LIGHT-WEIGHT AND EASY TO USE

The editor was created for non-programmers. It is easy to understand and navigate. It is also fast and lightweight - it runs smoothly even on less powerful PCs.

BEAUTIFUL INTERFACE

Minimalistic, highly usable interface. Two themes available: Blue and Dark.

DATABASES

The editor includes a characters database and local variables database (strings, integers, booleans). They are incredibly helpful in organising the dialogue and keeping track of player's progress.

SUPPORT FOR MULTIPLE LANGUAGES

Change the dialogue language by selecting it from a drop-down menu. There are no limits for the amount of languages you can use.

EXPORT TO JSON FILE

Export your dialogue with one click to a JSON text file.
JSON files are simple text files, which are easy to read by a human (one like you!). In it, each key is assigned a set of values, for example:

character: "Matt",
message: "Hello!",
is_happy_to_see_you: TRUE

That way it is very simple to import into your favourite game engine or framework, most of which already have lots of tutorials and plugins for importing JSON files and creating dialogues using them.

AVAILABLE NODES (input types):

• Show Message - Shows a dialogue message
  
• Wait - Pauses the dialogue for a given amount of time
  
• Execute - Executes a line of code
  
• Condition - Takes different paths based on a condition
  
• Chance - Has a chance of taking one of two paths
  
• Random - Takes different paths at random
  
• Repeat - Repeats a part of the dialogue x amount of times
  
• Set Variable - Changes a local variable
  
• Comment - Used for organizing the dialogue.

The above usage of each node is just a proposition, you can easily repurpose each node to suit your needs.

“I'm a writer, and while I do make visual novels I was just looking for something that would let me branch my stories and give me a clear overview... but I couldn't really find any nice software for it that wouldn't get me confused about my own story... this looks really nice! Even though I'm not using it for the code I think it will make the clutter in my head a lot clearer on my story writing anyway. Luckily it's a very affordable price, unlike some other software... thanks man!”

“Simply perfect. Nothing to dang complicated; enough customizability and features to keep a developer happy. Priced incredibly fair. 5 stars! I had a rough dialogue system up and running in Corona in minutes, thanks to the simple JSON exporter. OK I'm gushing :)”
