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.
UNDERKING KINGDOM is a belt-scrolling action RPG inspired by classic arcade nostalgia. But it’s more than just the thrill of victory. Set amid the horrors of war and senseless violence, it challenges players to reflect on the humanity and common sense we must strive to protect.
Hello! I am a solo developer who fell in love with Unreal Engine through self-study, learning from YouTube and various lectures. UNDERKING KINGDOM is my precious first project, finally brought into the world after countless trials and errors.
I poured my heart into every moment to deliver the best action and presentation I am currently capable of creating. Compared to games backed by massive budgets, it may seem modest, but I worked hard to fill it with all the passion a single developer can hold. Although I still feel some regret for not fully reaching the goals I set for myself, I truly gave it everything I had. My heartfelt thanks to every player who joins me on this humble first step! :)
UNDERKING KINGDOM is a belt-scroll action game that evokes the nostalgia of old arcades. However, this game does not merely chase the thrill of victory. Amid the horrors of war, where senseless violence runs rampant, it raises questions about the “humanity and common sense” we must ultimately protect.
More than simple entertainment, this is a game that delivers a deep resonance about modern society, where common sense and absurdity are intertwined.
Recently, our society seems to be seeing more and more people who feel no guilt even while committing senseless acts. Reflecting this reality, the game portrays the dark side of irrational wars in which countless innocent lives are sacrificed because of the selfish desires of a few.
By deeply exploring the inner world of the “King,” the central figure of war, the game seeks to deliver a message that makes us reflect once again on the true meaning of good and evil.
The game presents a combat system that combines the deep tension of soulslike games with the satisfying action of hack-and-slash combat.
Amid countless enemies, you can continue chaining combo attacks while freely changing your attack direction. By reading the wind-up of enemy attacks, you must make split-second decisions on whether to continue your combo, evade, or defend. This goes beyond simple button-mashing action and delivers strategic combat filled with tension at every moment.
The legendary sword techniques are activated only when both a “sword” and a “magic grimoire” are equipped at the same time. Only when both pieces of equipment are prepared can the swordsmanship sealed within the grimoire manifest through the sword.
This magical grimoire randomly summons the sword techniques of legendary knights at the start of battle. Because countless sword styles are mixed within it, it is impossible to predict which technique will appear each time. Each magic grimoire has its own unique skill sealed inside. Depending on which grimoire you equip, the type of legendary swordsmanship that manifests will differ.
Each stage symbolizes a single nation, and the game progresses by clearing them.
Stages are composed of multiple branching paths, and depending on the player’s choices, you will advance along different routes before eventually facing the final boss. However, on some paths, you may encounter unexpectedly powerful enemies.
Instead of a typical level-up or stat enhancement system, the game focuses character growth on skins in order to preserve its unique atmosphere. By collecting materials obtained from defeating enemies, you can craft various skins yourself and enjoy customizing your character. Special NPCs also await you in certain stages.
When crafting items, only the materials currently in your bag can be used.
We carefully explored various ways to implement a feature that would automatically recognize materials stored in the warehouse as well, but due to technical limitations in the current system environment, that feature could not be included. We kindly ask for your understanding regarding the inconvenience of having to move materials into your bag before use.
When I first began developing games, my standards were set by blockbuster titles backed by massive budgets. I believed that with enough effort, I could reach that level, but now, facing my first project, I am left with much regret that my current abilities could not meet that goal.
There were many moments when I wanted to give up because of the high standards I had set for myself. But because this was my first challenge, I wanted to see it through to the end no matter what. The development period of over a year became a time of tremendous learning and growth for me.
Although this project may still leave some regrets, I will use the precious experience and workflow I gained here as the foundation for creating an even more complete game next time. My sincere thanks to this project for filling me with the energy of passion, and to every player who joins me on this humble first step! :)
