I haven't voted for anything yet but I have to say that sometimes it's a combination of time and motivation. Also, too many projects obviously slows down the progress on each individual project.

  1. Lack of time
  2. Lack of motivation
  3. ZQuester's Block (Lack of ideas)
  4. Lack of Resources (Tiles, Music, Scripts, etc.)
  5. Lack of Coordination in Group Projects
  6. Lack of Experience with ZQuest
  7. Other

I'll take one of everything on the menu, please. Except for 5 & 6 I guess.

Right now? Terraria. All the Terraria.

Seriously though, it's mostly gaming that keeps me from working on my quest. At the moment, that IS Terraria though, but soon enough it'll be other things. XD

For me it's making everything as perfect as possible, lol. But I haven't really slowed down too much yet because I'm new to this site ;)

 

And I guess lack of time works as well, because, well, I GET TOO MUCH HOMEWORK! :)

Lack of time, mostly. I normally don't suffer from Writer's Block (I've got enough ideas for at least 5 quests at any given moment), and if I have a lack of resources, I can normally ask somebody to make them for me, or just BS my way through it. I'm certainly not lacking in experience with ZQuest, and I coordinate with others pretty well. Occasionally, I'll have a lack of motivation, but I can generally get that back pretty quickly by looking at some really cool thing in nature and thinking "Wouldn't it be cool to make this in ZC? Yeah, I should try to." Or sometimes, I'll just get tired of working on a certain thing I'm doing in a quest, in which case, I just work on something else. So time mainly, although once in a blue moon motivation slows me down.

Hehe, I almost forgot about a big one: Beta testing a lot of quests at the same time! (I'm not even joking, I have lots of people that I am helping) :D

Since there's no category for wacky depression adventures, I guess I'll go with "Other".

 

I only ZQuest when it rains

I only ZQuest when it's complicated

And though I know you don't appreciate it

I only ZQuest when it rains

 

So yeah, that's pretty much it.

I get distracted by mixing ZQuesting terms with Garbage songs. this is a daily problem. I was singing Stupid Gel pretty much all day today.

Lack of resource is the main problem for me for my main quest. Before and during I develop my quest I have to sprite most things that only exist in my head.

Lack of motivation, and depression, for the most part.  They're both the reason I'm not done with my 5th quest entry yet, since I'm only two dungeons away from completion, but well... Just been really stressed out and depressed lately.  Can't seem to focus on my work this week. :(

Scootaloo- I'm sorry that you're feeling unmotivated. It happens to me too, so I know the feeling. :( Sometimes you've just got to wait for inspiration to come; sometimes you've just got to push ahead the hard way. I sincerely hope you'll finish in time. Good luck! :)
