Do you often find yourself under the pressure of time slipping away? That intense feeling of stress as a relentless schedule rolls towards you like an avalanche. You may feel a significant dread that stifles your creativity in order to meet deadlines. Sound familiar? Well, you’re definitely not alone!
I am quite familiar with this experience myself. I hold a degree in procrastination science. Thus, I make every effort to avoid deadlines when writing articles, but honestly, it doesn’t always work out. And if you’re not fond of how this article begins, just know that I’m writing it 15 minutes before publication, so simply enjoy what I’ve managed to post.
Today, we present yet another testament to the fact that deadlines can be a tremendous evil, capable of undermining your efforts. The development team at NewHeaven has unveiled a unique project called Xin Tiantang, pouring their heart and soul into it!
Adorned with blooming cherry blossoms and roofs made of jade glass, the creation of Xin Tiantang was brought to life by a talented French construction team gathered from all corners of the globe! You might remember them for their magnificent endeavor to recreate the Louvre in the world of Minecraft Pocket Edition.
From the moment they completed their previous project, the company began working on something new, dedicating immense effort both in scale and manpower. The core idea revolved around recreating an Asian atmosphere while blending various styles, all while maintaining a distinct theme. What does the project’s name mean? Translated from Chinese, it means “New Paradise.” 
“Of course, the project may initially seem overly idealized to exist in reality, but that’s exactly what we aimed for by naming it ‘New Paradise,'” explains the development team. They have a deep appreciation for Asian culture and wanted to pay homage through this project, incorporating numerous styles from across the continent and bringing together the best elements cherished by each member of the group.
“Asian culture is something that resonates with many people worldwide, and we are no exception,” shares the NewHeaven team. “Some members consistently draw inspiration from this theme. Therefore, our new creation became a way to freely express our love for Asian culture. Imagine a vast canvas worked on by dozens of artists, each contributing their unique style, and you’ll understand our approach.” 
Xin Tiantang showcases a thriving empire of China with modern agriculture and architecture. A massive jade palace sits at the foot of a blue lake, while quaint villages dot the countryside. The map spans 2500×2500, created by over 20 individuals—from landscape design to the finest details during the final assembly. Despite the team’s size, NewHeaven has made its design publicly accessible to engage as many players from the Minecraft PE community as possible.
“We chose a theme that would resonate with the vast majority,” – “Fortunately, we were able to fully integrate each person’s style within the team. This cohesion resulted in a project filled with diverse structures built by different builders, yet harmonizing as if crafted by a single individual.
Cynics might point out that the project was completed in just three months after the Louvre, but truthfully, work on this masterpiece began long before that.”
In fact, the groundwork started two years ago. The quickest part of the project involved selecting themes, styles, and landscapes. Following that came countless trials and sketches to ensure alignment with the chosen theme. Then the actual building commenced, which could take considerable time. Finally, we love creating cinematics that appeal to everyone in the Minecraft PE community.
The architecture for this creation draws from multiple cultural styles, including those of China, India, and Japan. A notable aspect of Chinese culture featured is the Zodiac calendar. 
“We strive, whenever possible, to avoid imposing any deadlines. It significantly hampers the design process since designers, due to time constraints, may opt for simpler and more convenient solutions, sacrificing detail in the process. Hence, the conclusion is simple—deadlines do not enhance product quality.
Recently, we’ve begun work on a new creation similar to Xin Tiantang. Naturally, we have plenty of other ideas in the pipeline. Additionally, all team members are engaged in personal projects, so the arrival of our next work will take some time,” share the developers.
Speaking of deadlines, I need to publish this article soon, so I’ll hurry…
