| Main Cast | Tom R. Wilson - Wynathean Tom takes on the role of Wynathean the Wizard. Wynathean is tasked with preparing the hero for their journey. Well aware that the situation itself is dire,
Wynathean is confident in the hero's ability to meet the challenges that lay ahead. | | Cathy Carroll - Lianna Cathy plays Lianna, the wood-elf leader. Thoughtful, diplomatic, and passionate about her people, Lianna's warm heart is evidenced via her kind, encouraging
words. Even in moments of despair, Lianna is often quick to catch herself and say something positive to keep others nearby from becoming disheartened. Deeply encouraged
by the presence of the hero, she endeavors to be just as encouraging in return, and will offer any help she can. | | Shauna L. Gadient - Zanthra Shauna brings the character of Zanthra to life. Queen of the Frost Elves, Zantha is as cold and hostile as the frost realm itself. With a vicious attitude towards
others and an omnipotent character-complex, the only thing she enjoys more than toying with outsiders is tearing them apart. As the dwarves say, "if ya see
her smilin' at ya and she's sayin' sometin nice, ya better start running cuz one of 'er scouts is probably linin' up an arrow wit yer head'. | | Kevin A. Gadient - Galsty Kevin lends his voice to Galsty the dwarf. Encompassing every negative stereotype an elf has ever made about dwarves, Galsty has a simplistic mind, often mistakes his
simple ideas for ingenuity, and has a propensity for saying and doing inappropriate things at all the wrong times. Despite inheriting the typical dwarven character
flaws, Galsty is a good-hearted individual who enjoys a good laugh... along with his pint. | | Chad Hay - Zort Chad's voice animates Zort the gnome. Zort is an odd little fellow who is very high-strung, and has a mind that is always in overdrive. He's very excitable, and
is quick to jump to conclusions. From the moment he meets the hero, he concludes that will the hero save everyone. When something goes amiss, Zort's not worried -
the hero will know exactly what to do.
Chad also voices "Brave Knight #1" - a character met in Veldamir Castle. |

| Game EngineAlarameth TD runs on the Unity game engine (by Unity Technologies). Unity is one of the most powerful and most versatile game engines in the industry today, used in other popular
games such as Deus Ex: The Fall (Eidos) and Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft (Blizzard Entertainment). Unity's focus on cross-platform support, strong development tools, and use of cutting-edge technologies made it a clear choice for the development of Alarameth TD.

covers all the core aspects of a tower defence game, leaving room to build and expand the system to suit development needs. TDTK can be found here. | | Mesh Baker - Ian Deane Mesh Baker was utilized for it's ability to combine multiple models into single meshes with ease.
