Latest News
Desolation Point Version 0.1 was released mainly to act as a test for the different scripts that were used to create the basic framework of the game. Although many major and minor bugs still remain in the application, Scouter thought it would be a good idea to give the public a glimpse of what Square One has been doing lately with Flash. ("For a better example", says Scouter, "Check out Gomer's latest Flash game, Libra!"). Although Desolation Point Version 1.0 is classified as a "Work in Progress", Scouter is thinking about gathering the scripts he used in Desolation Point to create a game similar to Zelda for the SNES.

Story Line
Here is the basic storyline that goes along with the events depicted in Desolation Point.
June 15, 2010
Planet Earth - For nearly a century, pollution from unclean fuel sources has plagued the air and water. With the population of the Earth currently reading at an estimated 7.16 billion people, the pollution has become unbearable. Known only to the military and top ranking government officials, a group of scientists were working on a secret project code-named "EnviroEngine." This prototype engine was poised to become a scientific revolution. Running purely off of burned hydrogen collected from separating the oxygen and hydrogen particles in water, this engine burned 100% clean. Suddenly, from an inside source, some information was leaked to the top petroleum dealers of the world. Upon hearing about what the government was poised to release, the CEO's of these companies launched a secret program to siphon water locked in the polar ice caps into huge submerged holding tanks. This, they thought would guarantee them some money in the new fuel revolution that was about to hit Earth. Scientists all over the world were baffled by the ice cap's reducing size, but they soon came to the conclusion that the heat being produced by pollution and Greenhouse Gases was to blame.

Planet Earth - The release of the EnviroEngine was a success. Soon there wasn't a motorized device that wasn't equipped with one. To many people across the globe it was also released at a perfect time. Since the polar ice caps had almost disappeared, many people saw this as the engine that would fuel the Earth for centuries to come. The whole process worked for a decade, but soon the inevitable occurred. The problem first occurred in the United States: A minor water shortage due to the water that was being consumed by the EnviroEngine. The U.S. government, who wasn't worried at the time, hired a group of elite scientists to develop a machine to distill the salt from the ocean and create fresh water.

Planet Earth - Chaos. The U.S. government's project has come to a complete halt due to the rising amount of pollutants from the air that are now floating in the ocean. The water all over the world is now so impure, that using it to make fuel would be a pointless cause. All eyes now turn to the last pure source of water on the globe - glaciers. Nations scramble to save what water they can from the glaciers before other nations can. Meanwhile, with the amount of pollutants in the water still rising, the major petroleum companies are poised to release the huge amount of water that they have been hiding for over a decade. Before they can, disaster strikes. Getting too cocky about the new wealth that the water will give them, the companies let their security barriers slide. Unknown to them, another group that has heard about the storage tanks forms, one with a single goal in mind: Either everyone in the world hands them 70% of their net value, or else the water inside the holding tanks, will be dumped into the heavily polluted ocean and everyone on Earth will perish. The group slowly attacks the petroleum companies from the inside out - starting with the security. After only a few months, the group has convinced the security guards in countless companies to join their side, if they want to survive.

Planet Earth - The group has released their plan to the public. Now that they have eliminated all who oppose them, they solely man the controls to the large underwater holding tanks. The world's government officials have no choice but to agree to the group's terms. Or so it seems. In a last desperate attempt, the governments create a vast army - The R.A.W., or The Republic Army of the World. The army only has one motive, to destroy the group's main headquarters building. Sworn enemies suddenly find themselves becoming brothers as the looming facts set in. They alone are the only ones who can save the Earth from becoming a desolate wasteland.
