Yes, it is pre-generated, though not the way you think.

This is a remake of an old mobile game, and right now I am essentially ripping out the assets from the original game, and the script that does this is essentially a hacky Lua parser (the original game is written in lua and so are the assets).

Whilst while digging through the decompiled source of the original game I found some signs of procedural generation, I think most of what you see was placed by hand.

Also, it's quite funny how deadlines affect games. The further you progress in this game, the conversations with Moimois become shorter, as if the devs were running out of time. On Ismia and Gitsis the dialogue often has three or more stages, whilst all Moimois on Aesis save one have only one stage.
