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 momentum based hack 'n slash with roguelike elements. Use wall-bouncing and slithering to pick up enough speed to slaughter your enemies
Begin the Slaughter is a timewaster roguelike, designed for ~30 min runs with no metaprogression. You play as a snake-like creature on a world that humans are invading, and you need to slaughter them all.
Each round of the game, you draft a number of building types in a tetrad (tetris-block-like) shape onto the map, and once placed you need to clear a number of regions by destroying the crystals before you gain the ability to play the boss room for that round.
Placing and completing the boss area presents you with a choice of 2 downgrades, and after choosing one you will 3 more building types. This continues for three rounds.
Buildings have different requirements for optimal power level; a higher power level spawns more humans, but completed regions with higher power will also produce more upgrades. Upgrades are claimed by placing them into completed regions.
The combat is momentum based: you need to be moving fast enough before you can hurt anyone. Movement tech therefore includes automated wall-bouncing, grabbing the ground to pivot quickly without losing momentum, slithering and the slither-strike, teleporting to above a dead enemy, and launching yourself from a climbing position, in addition to non-combat movement such as wall-climbing and other maneuvers.
The game makes heavy use of a freezeframe technique, (slowing the world down to 10% speed temporarily), to give the player time to process what is happening.
The demo is currently only the tutorial, which doesn't feature any active enemies. But if you want to get an idea of the movement and movement techs, it's ideal.
