PrologueEdit

Episode 1, known as "Prologue", was shown live on the TP website 12/19/08, a full day before its official release. Fans attented the early showing and have said that it was epic, better than any other machinima, great, among other 100% positive reviews.

Major Damian leads a squad of Privates to kill Colonel Sitherius, but the mission fails after Damian is nearly killed. He was launched into the ocean by a rocket. The only way to save him would be to inject him with adrenaline enhancers to make him stronger and more aggressive. They do so, and also because they wanted to try out their new formula on a test subject. He is demoted to Corporal when the military General Musgrave decides he needs less stress. But Damian goes rogue, killing everyone in the base. He hunts down General Musgrave and shoots him. The General fell off of a cliff to his doom. At that point, Damian drives to an old friend of his, Seb, an armor maker. He asks Seb for a new armor, and is given an entirely new black suit and a robotic-sounding voice. This is just the very beginning, so this episode set up the entire series.

BloodEdit

The second episode of Project Blackknight. The "Blood" script has been finished and some of it has been filmed. Its expected release is February 2009. Expectations for this episode are high, according to members of the Thomas Productions forums.

Thomas Productions are doing their best to not let any secrets be spoiled for this series.

On April 14th, lead script writer Kyle gave some insight into why the episode is taking so long to create. "We are hoping to get a second episode out in the summer, but we'll see. Every episode is going to take a lot of time to make."

On an April 17th blog post, PBK director Layne gave some clues as to when the episode will be released. "I've been getting a few questions about Project Blackknight. From an outside point of view, it would seem like we've forgotten about it. Of course, we haven't. We had planned to release episode 2 in the Spring, however, we have shifted our priorities to resemble last year's. We plan on first finishing up Marlin the Elite Season 4. We have an internal goal of finishing them up by around June 10th (or around when school gets out). Then, we will complete and release PBK episode 2 over the summer while Marlin is not in production. Remember that we're going for sort of a mini-movie vibe from PBK, so it takes a lot more time to produce."

As revealed on the July 11th episode of the TPCast, more filming of that episode was done on that day. Two scenes were acted out.
