I mean... It makes sense that they were all from the same place. It seems they met in high school for the most part. But it has to be a relatively small group, then. Because even if they're like minded individuals, someone sometime would eventually come up with a unique design style. To decrease the chances of this happening, I'd say the number of people involved would have to decrease.
Oooor... Here's another theory I just came up with.
How about the clubhouse members could make whatever they wanted, but someone was in charge of quality control (probably Melinda), so only the levels that fit her taste, ended up being part of the clubhouse.
?
Side note: maybe the clubhouse was fairly new back then, and they had an intention of making a new clubhouse, or add on to the original. They could've done the original clubhouse in about two years (assuming it's as simple as using a level editor, and not having to place each element by hand, like having to build each individual wall for example).
The community of chipsters have been making levels for at least two decades. Two decades is way more than two years. In two decades you see all sorts of design styles from all sorts of people. In two years, level designs would follow whatever is the trend at the moment, meaning the levels indeed could be similar to one another. Kudos to the bit busters for being intelligent enough for their earliest creations to not be randomness and guesswork marathons.
But this is starting to derail from the topic title. I'm giving an elaborated answer.
The dumb answer is: Melinda is a tyrant and does in fact have a quality control system. Only the decent but monotonous levels make it in the clubhouse. She keeps the excellent quality levels for herself, falsely promising to release them in a sequel one day.
When she has enough levels, she'll kick everyone out and make the second clubhouse out of all these excellent quality levels, cut all ties with the other members, and take all the credit for the second clubhouse. CCLP4 is in fact, this second clubhouse in such parallel universe. (As a bonus, we finally have a storyline for CCLP4 ).
So... Is CC1 a virtual world or did it occupy physical space and had to be constructed by buying/placing all the floor tiles, building all the walls, making holes for all the water tiles, etc. ?
