Search Engine is a great podcast and that was a great interview. For me it didn't really answer the question though, but I guess the answer is very individual.

As we used to say.

Arrowhead initially planned to make Helldivers 2 in 3 years—instead it took 7 years, 11 months, and 26 days in c/games@lemmy.world

Likely a lot of time was spent iterating and experimenting with different ideas, testing out concepts, tweaking, etc. Haven't played the game but I do work as a software developer.

Linux and DOOM (1993) in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Carmack actually developed Doom on NeXTSTEP, not Linux. The windows and DOS ports were not released as open source, due to copyright issues concerning the sound library. So they released the source of the Linux port instead. I don't think it made much of a difference in practice since it was a fairly popular game even before that.
