The only known intelligent life in this universe are humans and the now-absent creators of the portal. Humans have only been portaging for a few hundred years, and there's enough inter-planetary contact that technology levels haven't diverged widely.One more thing that concerns world-building. How are all those different planets at the same level of science and technology? For planets that weren't previously in touch with each other, that is extremely unlikely. So you need to come up with some explanation for that. For all planets to roughly equalize in science and technology it would take centuries of continuous trading and travel among them.
Sorry, this is the topic I love so I can't help myself
One planet's culture is inspired by a mix of North African and Southeast Asian sultanates. I do have it noted that their dhows and jongs are considered at least as impressive as anything designed by more European-inspired cultures. Dutch and Portuguese sailors really did feel that way about many of the Javanese ships they encountered
