What happened
Easy Fox, the small studio behind Teach My Little Sister How to Drive, says the game’s demo has grown sharply over the past month. According to the developer, player numbers increased by more than 20 times during that period, driving up the cost of keeping the demo running.
The studio says the demo now costs roughly $1,000 per day to keep online. To help cover those expenses, Easy Fox has reportedly taken out a bank loan. The game is described as a driving instruction simulator with an NPC powered by generative AI.
Easy Fox also says the team consists of four people. The studio is looking at whether the expected AI usage costs can be built into the price of the full release, so players do not have to pay separately for token usage.
It has not yet been decided whether the demo will remain online until launch. The developer says financial pressure could mean the demo goes offline earlier, but no final decision has been made.

Background
Teach My Little Sister How to Drive is a small AI-driven driving sim from Easy Fox. The story centers on the cost of a demo that relies on generative AI and has become more expensive as player numbers have grown, according to the studio.
The sources do not give an exact breakdown of the costs. It is therefore unclear how much of the reported $1,000 per day goes to model inference versus hosting or other operating expenses. The terms of the bank loan have also not been disclosed.
