Guide: Installing Impulse: Space Combat on Linux with Steam Proton

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.

What is Impulse: Space Combat? Features and Description

Impulse: Space Combat is a first person, realistic, action game. In Impulse, physics play a major role in determining which team will be left standing. All movement and interaction is controlled using physics. When your ship is hit with a projectile you will feel the impact!

Impulse: Space Combat is a first person, realistic, action / survival game. In Impulse, physics play a major role in determining which team will be left standing. All movement and shooting, whether by the player or Impulse's ruthless AI pilots, is controlled using physics. When your ship is hit with a projectile you will feel the impact! In survival mode, harvest the asteroid field's metal resource to build your own fleet of fighters and turrets to defend against the next wave!

What are the current features?

There are currently two gamemodes, skirmish and wave survival. In skirmish mode, two teams of AI controlled fighter spacecraft are pitted against each other in a customizable, randomly generated, asteroid field. This is a battle to the last man, each team must completely wipe out the other to secure victory. Survival mode is a more gradual and calm experience (at first). The player must navigate a large asteroid field, mining metal, and building defenses during prep-time. When the counter runs to zero, a wave of enemies hunt down the player and his/her defenses. This gamemode starts off seemingly easy, but becomes frantic as the waves increase in difficulty.

The newest gamemode addition is the level editor (called the battle sandbox). This mode lets the player set up battles with as many ships and asteroids as they wish and test out new ships before they make it into the rest of the game, such as the Corvette. This mode was inspired by games like Totally Accurate Battle Simulator.

  • New Level editor mode
  • Corvette class ship (two flak and two machine gun turrets)
  • Survival mode (new), fight off against increasingly difficult waves of enemies
  • Player building, build fighters, turrets and support crates to help defend yourself in survival mode
  • Fighter-class ships (armed with impulse cannons)
  • Gunship class ships (armed with a cannon and rocket pods)
  • Minelayer class ships (armed with dual turrets and the ability to deploy mines)
  • Turrets (regular, double-barreled and flak)
  • Customizable randomly generated asteroid field (skirmish only)
  • Physics based combat and movement
  • Customizable skirmish gamemode, two teams fighting to control an asteroid field
  • High level of ship control (fire-modes, toggleable headlight, even the ability to disable inertial dampening)
  • Asteroid mining (survival only, using lasers)
  • Full six-degrees of freedom
  • Realistic sound system for space

What can I expect for the future of this game?

With the recent Greenlight success, development of this game will return to a more regular pace. As a developer, I want to put the power of "what happens next" in the players' hands. This means that in the near future there will be surveys that can tell me what you, the player, would like to see next the most. Before this however, there will be a period of optimizing and making the game more modular to support such additions. Here is a list of possible additions that the players could choose from (or suggest their own ideas, of course):

  • Level editor (workshop support along the lines of Paint the Town Red)
  • More advanced survival features such as new resources to mine/scrap
  • An open world variant of survival where the player can roam around, attacking/defending against enemy outposts
  • New ship classes (anything from bombers to carrier ships)
  • New weapons and weapon variants/customization options
