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.

A 2D turn based strategy and management game with a dynamic soundtrack and emergent gameplay starting in the 1960's. Balance different mechanics as you progress through the Cold War without being voted out or starting World War III.

Strategic Stalemate is a 2D turn based geopolitical and strategic video game with a dynamic soundtrack and emergent gameplay set in an alternate beginning of the 1960's. Take charge of the US as both president and micromanager, managing everything from pressing international events, internal politics, managing the country's economy and energy demands. All while threading the needle between success, reelection and an all out nuclear war.

KEY FEATURES

The core part of the game will have you set in the Oval Office as acting president. Making individual choices for as many as 32 unique events based on your current circumstances. Events affect the five key elements, World Tension, Soviet Aggression, Military Strength, Popularity and Political Power which you will need to balance. To help with the delicate balance (and avoid nuclear annihilation), you will have access to the office's red phone from which you can make key calls to different officials.

Presidents come and go, only being allowed to serve two terms and as such, under the course of a playthrough, several different presidents will be elected. All with unique strengths and weaknesses which you will need to take into account under their presidential terms.

[MORE TO COME]

To better organise and manage the country, you will need to establish and fund executive departments such as the Department of Energy. From the Department of Energy, you will be able to see and manage the country's energy demand, production and the funding of new power plants. Furthermore, you can also establish R&D Labs, which with the necessary funding and time, will provide certain bonuses to the nation.

[MORE TO COME]

Each turn, you will be given a yearly income which you can either spend in the executive departments, or invest into the national economy. If the economy grows, your investments will increase in value and vice versa. The economy is unpredictable and thus an investment risk. However, you are not the only actor in the economy. As the world's largest industrial power, American companies have rapidly expanded and amassed considerable influence. In response, labor unions have emerged to protect worker's rights. Both sides vie for control each turn and it is up to you to support a side or choose to balance the power.

A lot of different factors such as events, elected president, energy demand and to a major degree, the economy, have an RNG aspect to them, keeping each playthrough unique and unpredictable. Combined with 3 endings, it gives the game a certain degree of replayability.

Composed by my good friend and aspiring indie artist, Theodor, the game includes a fully dynamic soundtrack in the style of dystopian ambient with spiraling high tones and a subtle undercurrent of tension. Meaning as World Tension increases or decreases, the soundtrack will respond in tune, providing a level of immersion.
