Temporal Static Studios recorded seventeen new songs and five remixes for the soundtrack of PreVa. As well as recording the voices of in-game characters. PreVa also marked the voice acting debuts of Tonya Morris [as the Controller Alissa Saito] and George Anderson [as General Cartwright], as well as Jonathan Sharp, Glen Reece, Stacey Sharp and Jason Carter [as V.A. pilots].

The game was in development for two and a half years until it’s completion and release in 2008. It was developed on the 3D Gamestudio/A6 game engine. MangaPage created the game out of a need for more mech games on the PC. It is only the first of many other mecha anime style games that MangaPage have planned for future development.
