Current Updates
-Sura Hart (an author) has been brought on as a new partner to the Bella Sara Team

-On Facebook, Gitte claims new activities will be added to the site often. (This was in April 2020. No new updates have been given since).

-Facebook updates: Gitte claims new projects are coming and she hopes you enjoy the app!

-"Is the website coming back?": Gitte said absolutely not (on Facebook). They can't port the old functions without using flash, so they have discontinued them permanently. She apologized but said there are new things coming soon so stay tuned. (Personal thoughts from Admin: I assumed this would be the case anyways. It would cost them a ton of money to get someone to redesign the game to work on a new system, so I'm not surprised they had to shut it down.)
