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.

The Honours Project is an autobiographical walking simulator. Enjoy a narrative experience, adventuring through dream-like levels, solving an occasional puzzle and listening to the dark and sometimes comical dialogue that acts as a commentary about being a student and game development.

The Honours Project is an autobiographical walking simulator about a moment where I was struggling to come up with an idea for my University project in 2024. You are tasked with helping, by inspiring me with music. Enjoy a narrative experience by adventuring through dream-like levels, solving an occasional puzzle and listening to the dark and sometimes comical dialogue that acts as a commentary about being a student and game development. Move along at your own pace, enjoy the audio experience in a fully 3D soundscape. Find notes that explore extra lore, and get an extra sense of who I am. 

The year was likely the toughest I have ever faced, and I wanted to depict these moments as an audiovisual experience with light puzzle mechanics and gameplay. The game takes around about 25 to 35 minutes to complete. The aim of this game was to help others who are in education to understand that it is okay not to know, and that the ideas will come. I too wanted to express myself in the only way I know how, and figured this would be the best platform to be able to do so.

While the game is completed, I am still relatively new in the world of game development and I expect bugs and issues, which I will hopefully have a chance to iron out. I am also not the best at optimizing due to Audio Design and narrative being my field of expertise. The game was created over the course of 5 months and was submitted as my fourth year University project that focused on how audio and narrative work together to better player experience.

This game should work with mouse + keyboard, and an Xbox controller.
