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.
Defend your base from all directions in this no-path tower defense. Build, upgrade, and adapt to unpredictable enemy waves, survive unique boss fights and unleash the Quantum Decimator when things get overwhelming.
Redefine tower defense in Shape Warzone, a 2D top-down strategy game where every wave is a fresh challenge. Unpredictable and randomized enemy spawns keep you on your toes as you defend your base from relentless, shape-themed attackers.
Start by mining Shape Shards, your currency, to build and upgrade an arsenal of turrets and defenses. Expand your base across a dynamic grid system that evolves into more challenging layouts offering higher XP rewards at greater risks. Customize your defenses with buildings like long-range snipers or lasers, defensive goos or shockers, and fast paced turrets to create a fortress as unique as your playstyle.
Every 10th wave unleashes a gigantic boss that requires more than brute force. Activate the Quantum Decimator, a devastating superweapon that charges through minigames, and use it to annihilate these towering threats. This skill-based mechanic adds a fresh layer of action and excitement to traditional tower defense gameplay.
Features that set Shape Warzone apart:
* Face endless, randomized waves of uniquely designed geometric enemies.
* Build and upgrade your base with limitless strategic possibilities.
* Conquer dynamic grid layouts with increasing challenges and rewards.
* Charge and unleash the Quantum Decimator in skill-based boss battles.
* Unlock enemy skins through in-game loot boxes - no real money required, bought with the very shape shards you mine through your battles!
Are you ready to shape the battlefield and take down the geometrical hordes? Because staying square won’t cut it!
My own notes:
Shape Warzone is my first solo project, developed over 1.5 years. It’s a simple but complete tower defense experience with its own twists, like pathless enemy waves, unique boss mechanics, and base progression. It may not be flashy, but it’s functional, and I learned a lot making it. -Pavel
