John Romero started writing the design for Daikatana in February 1997 and it shipped in April 2000. I don't think that's much of a record.


3 years development (2 if we discount the abandoned Quake engine work) is standard for a large project with lots of content. Although, around 1996 there was little experience in what a big project entailed.
