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.
Void Ascendancy is a UI-driven space empire simulation where you colonize planets, manage specialized worlds, and build interstellar trade networks across a procedurally generated star cluster.
Void Ascendancy is a UI-driven space empire management game focused on economic expansion, planetary specialization, and interstellar trade. Starting from a single home system, you grow your influence across a procedurally generated star cluster by colonizing worlds, developing efficient colonies, and linking them into a stable trade network.
There is no combat. Progress is driven by planning, logistics, and long-term strategic decisions.
Each star system contains multiple planets with different climates and resources. Through the Star System Management interface, you select individual planets to:
Develop districts and buildings
Assign and optimize planetary jobs
Balance production of food, energy, and minerals
Specialize colonies to support your growing empire
As your empire expands, planets shift from hands-on management to high-level economic roles.
Local production alone is not enough. To sustain growth, you must establish interstellar trade routes that move resources between star systems.
Connect colonies through trade networks
Overcome distance and capacity limitations
Research technologies that expand reach and efficiency
Unlock new buildings, districts, and empire-wide bonuses
Research gradually increases your ability to explore and colonize more distant stars, opening new strategic opportunities within the cluster.
Your long-term objective is to integrate the star cluster into a stable economic system. Expansion without planning leads to shortages and collapse, while careful specialization and trade enable sustained growth.
Victory is achieved by building a connected, self-sufficient interstellar economy that spans most of the cluster — after which you may continue in sandbox mode.
UI-focused empire and planet management
Procedurally generated star clusters
Planet specialization and economic optimization
Local and interstellar trade routes
Research-driven expansion and progression
Non-combat, systems-driven gameplay
Void Ascendancy is designed to expand over time with additional resources, economic systems, and events, building on the core management and trade mechanics.
