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.
Play as secret agents Franklin Benjamin and Virginia West as they attempt to stop a madman with a weather device in this single-player interactive spy novel. Track down this madman named Zeus and destroy his infernal weather machine. In other words, it’s time for YOU to bring the thunder, agent!
Play as secret agents Franklin Benjamin and Virginia West as they attempt to stop a madman with a weather machine in this single-player interactive spy novel. Track down this madman named Zeus and destroy his infernal doomsday device. You may find yourself de-escalating a hostage situation, investigating a crime scene, or even defusing a ticking time bomb. But whatever this mission calls for - it’s time for YOU to bring the thunder, agent!
We have it on good intel that a madman named Zeus is attempting to build a weather device that could wipe entire nations off the face of the Earth. Obviously, we can't let that come to pass!
Track down this madman, unravel his scheme, and destroy his doomsday device. The fate of the world rests on your shoulders and your shoulders alone. This is a single-player game, after all
There's Always a Madman: Bring the Thunder can be played with just a mouse. Gameplay consists of selecting the action or dialog you wish to take given the situation you’re facing. Although the life of a secret agent is complicated, playing There's Always a Madman: Bring the Thunder is simple
There's Always a Madman: Bring the Thunder is the third entry in the There's Always a Madman series, but it tells a standalone story. Like a classic James Bond novel or film where you can pick any one up independent of the rest, you can pick this story up without having experienced any prior stories in the There's Always a Madman franchise. However, I would recommend starting with the first game There's Always a Madman: Fight or Flight if you care to experience the series in its intended order
As a secret agent, it's not about who has the fastest trigger finger. Put your mind to good use and make intelligent in-the-moment decisions on how best to handle your current predicament. Only by out-thinking your opponents can you survive to tell the tale
A storm is coming, and only our top pair of secret agents can stop it. Whether you find yourself de-escalating a hostage situation, investigating a crime scene, or defusing a ticking time bomb - it'll take all your spy skills to rain on this madman's parade!
Although the game is text-based like a novel, an emphasis is placed on visuals and music to set the appropriate mood for each scene, changing based on whether you're in a safe location or you're exposed to danger. It also features a theme song written specifically for this game
There's Always A Madman: Bring the Thunder aims to be about the length of a movie for a single playthrough (roughly two hours). During that time, you may very well have to do some not-so-nice things to succeed. But that's okay - as they say, nice guys finish last. And we need you to come out on top
For reference, here are some similar games outside the There's Always a Madman series to help you get a further sense for what the There's Always A Madman games are like: Perfect Dark (and James Bond games like GoldenEye), No One Lives Forever, Alpha Protocol, Mission: Impossible N64, Splinter Cell games, Henchman Story, Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise, Framed, I Expect You To Die, Batman Telltale Series, The Wolf Among Us
A: James Bond, Jason Bourne, Jack Reacher, and Jack Ryan all started off in text format with novels. I believe this is the right move for the project - as they say, the book is always better, so I think a more book-like experience works here. The game's text will of course be supplemented with music to set the appropriate mood, such as whether you're in danger or in a safe spot
Go ahead, agent. Bring the thunder!
Each game in the There's Always a Madman series is designed as a standalone adventure, but if you wish to play the games in order (which is recommended), this is the order of release:
1. There's Always a Madman: Fight or Flight
2. There's Always a Madman: Do Your Worst
3. There's Always a Madman: Bring the Thunder
4. There's Always a Madman: The MacGuffin
5. There's Always a Madman: V.I.C.T.O.R.
And don't forget to check out my previous game, the cozy RPG A Weekend in Puzzleburg. There's Always a Madman is technically a spin-off of A Weekend in Puzzleburg since the series is based on the Franklin Benjamin character first seen on a channel from the Puzzleburg hotel room TV
