The original Homeworld also scaled difficulty based on how well you were doing on previous levels.

Huh, I didn’t know about that mechanic in that series. I never really did end up liking L4D much, and thinking back on it, probably my biggest issue with the game was a feeling that I never really improved. No matter what I did, every time I played felt like I couldn’t catch up, and it wasn’t an enjoyable, “challenging” feeling. It was just frustrating.

One of the defining concepts in the game was the “director”, an overarching map managing system that kept the desired pacing of the game in real time.

Ok? I’m not saying it didn’t exist, just that I wasn’t aware of it.

All good, just explaining briefly what it did and what valve called it.

He’s not saying you said it didn’t exist he’s just explaining what it was and did since you said you didn’t know of it.
