According to his recent save format post [1], he spends a lot of time thinking about something before he starts prototyping.
> So I've been thinking about this for basically months, but the way I work, I actually want to have a good mental picture of what I'm doing before I start prototyping. And while I had a high-level notion of what I wanted, I didn't have enough of a idea of the details to really start coding.
So two weeks seems reasonable to me, especially if he built a prototype first. (Did he?)
