Talk & Dev is presented by our main sponsor, CipSoft:

CipSoft was founded in 2001 and arose from the success of Tibia, one of the first MMORPG’s of the world. In 2003, the company from Regensburg published TibiaME and with that the first online role-playing game for mobile phones. Panzer League, the first mobile multiplayer online battle arena for tanks, is currently in soft launch.
