On August 13 2005, the 20th episode of ''The Codex'' was released, bringing the series to a conclusion. The production team set the episode limit at 20 because they wanted to end the series before leaving for college. However, the team was also careful to leave a cliffhanger ending, so if they wanted to continue the series, they would have that option. On February 9 2006, it was announced that a prequel to ''The Codex'', entitled ''[[The Heretic (Machinima Series)|The Heretic]]'', was in the planning stages and was to debut in the upcoming summer. | On August 13, 2005, the 20th episode of ''The Codex'' was released, bringing the series to a conclusion.
