About Dog Days of Summer

Vivian spends the summer before her final year at college in New Amsterdam when she meets Tara, a woman who redirects her toward new experiences and possibilities. Dog Days of Summer is a choice-driven visual novel where your decisions shape how the story unfolds, and their full weight only becomes clear later in the narrative. Like Wet Sand, it treats player agency seriously rather than as window dressing, meaning early choices can have consequences that ripple across later scenes. The game is still in early access at version 0.5.1 and runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.

The premise draws on familiar territory for adult visual novels, but the execution depends on how well the game balances its erotic content with genuine character development and meaningful branching. Early-access status means the story is incomplete, so players should expect gaps in narrative and the possibility of future changes to existing content. English is currently the only supported language.

This suits players who enjoy sandbox-style narratives where choices matter and aren't afraid to engage with adult themes as part of character development. If you prefer linear stories or finished products, wait for a full release.

Developer's description

-!THIS VN IS STILL IN EARLY ACCESS!-

Dog Days of Summer is a Lesbian Adult Visual Novel about a young girl named Vivian living in the fictional city of New Amsterdam entering into the last summer before she graduates college. She soon meets a mysterious woman named Tara who sets her on a more erotic course. Where she takes it and how her summer plays out will depend mostly on the player.

A choice driven visual novel where your choices will have rippling effects on the outcome of events. With a story that encourages you to pick what you think is the best in the moment and just like in real life you wont know the outcomes of those choices until much later.

Rework v0.3.1

I was hopping to get to the party but there is just so much content that I hit a bit of a wall and need a break. But wanted to have a new update up by August.

And yes some of you might have noticed I redid all of the sprites and reworked Vivian again. A lot of people complained about her change so I tried to get her closer to her original. And this is the last time I am going to make any changes to her character because I will not be doing that ever again.

So this is a beta to do bug test and assuming there are no problems there will be another release the first Monday of August which will probably have a bit more content. Maybe.

Rework v0.2.1

Hello everyone. Whatโ€™s this a DDoS update? Yes. So most of the recoding is done. I wanted to have everything up to the Rebecca party for you guys but I wasnโ€™t able to finish the renders and I had set a Hard deadline for today. So instead this is everything up to the sleepover with Des. but donโ€™t worry. My goal is to have everything up to the party done by the end of this month.

Also be aware this is a completely new game/build. No old saves will work or carry over.

So whatโ€™s different?

First, all the images have been redone. That includes reworks of all the characters. While most of them I doubt you will really notice, all of them have been reworked, and Evaline and Tara have been upgraded from Gen3 to Gen 8. Mainly did this because all the clothes I wanted for both wouldnโ€™t work for a Gen3. I might do this for Ms. Harper as well but we will see what comes of that later.

Honestly reworking all the images and characters was what was holding me back. I didnโ€™t want to start from scratch but then I was finding it harder and harder to put in my old stuff so I ended up doing nothing.

Most of the early story beats are going to be the same. Mostly just reworking some wording, adding a bit more world building, fixing some things that I hadnโ€™t quite nailed down about the setting when I first started.

However on the back end everything is way cleaner. And because I have a better understanding of how python works, managing all the choices is going to be so much easier and as such allow me to keep things more on track.

Also all the images are now 1080 before they were all over the place.

Iโ€™ve also been working on adding more dynamic sprites, so itโ€™s not just two static images talking the whole time. I will add more in the future.

What to expect in the future?

So I am going to trim a lot of the branches of the tree as well as give more chances for the player to be on all the paths. For instance the Evaline/Harper choices will not prevent you from choosing the other options. No matter how you decided to help or not help Evaline there will be the option to be blackmailed by Harper or become her apprentice or for her to be a sugar momma.

And by extension you will have more options to allow Evaline to move in with you.

Now after Rebeccaโ€™s party the story is going to deviate significantly from the original game. I fell like I was really rushing things, trying to get to some of the โ€˜goodโ€™ stuff and ended up tangling everything.

So after the party several things will then start happening. First, if Vivian wants to get a job that will start that arc of her path. She can still get a job if you chose one of the other life paths but it might be closed if you make other choices in the game. Like Harper becoming your sugar momma.

So the planned jobs are as follows:

Work for your mom

Work with Shanna at the Diner

Work at SexShop

Work for Kathren as a PI (side content)

There might be other jobs you can pick up later on but they will be mostly side, one off type content not major paths.

Also the stuff with the Art Dealer and Desiree will pick up a lot quicker. I always had a plan for him but I was so worried about other stuff I put him on the back burner and he got left behind.

Plans for the next update:

Finish all content up to the Party with Rebecca.

Add new phone syโ€ฆ

v0.5.4.1 beta

Yeah, not much here I'm sorry. Didn't get nearly as much done as I was hoping to and I just felt I needed to get what I had up for you guys. So the polish on this is rough and I don't even think I have gone through it with the spell checker yet.

Something I actually do with every update despite what I'm sure most people think.

So this mostly is just a sex scene with Harper if you are on the dating path with her. I've just started working on the content if you are being blackmailed and if you lost the first game and are going to be punished by her.

If you're wondering what's Harper's dating path is, don't help Eva cheat on the exam at all.

v0.5.4

The first part of the sorority party is pretty much done.

So far there is one game with the sorority with lots of lude content.

There is one short sex scene between two bunny slaves One full Sex scene between Vivian and Megan

fixes:

Changed many of the pngs to jpegs to reduce the game size. Quality should remain close to original.

Fixed if you were romancing Des but also being trained by Harper to be a Dom, Vivian would automatically enter into Domming

Des even though the player hadn't chosen to do so.

New Character Sprites for Malina and Vivian have been added as part of the redesign. Other minor tweaks and fixes

v0.5.3

Movie date with Des. Dom and normal sex scene variants depending on your relationship with her.

fixed a few bugs and other minor fixes.

v0.5.2

Based on your choices Des will either be happy or depressed. This is right now only the depressed portion, the happy portion coming soon. It's still a little rough so you might want to not make a new save after playing this and wait for the next update.

v0.5.0

Finished Evaline Mom party event (all paths now caught up-ish)

New threeway sex scene

added stinger ending if you are living with Des or Evaline

fixes:

went back and fixed Rebecca's name so it is now spelled right.

fixed a few issues of images not showing up properly in

went through and fixed a lot incorrect text depending on certain choices. (Any text that is wrong at this point should just be flavor and shouldn't effect your game.)

lot of spelling fixes.

several spelling corrections.

fixed some images not showing up

Fixes:

Forgot to actually implement some of the images that I had added in the last update. So there are some new images now sprinkled through the game.

Fixed a few switches that were improperly implemented. Probably won't affect your game as it should have just been mostly text and no decisions at this point but there is no harm in making a new game.

v0.4.3

content:

continued but didn't finish the party if Evaline is living with you. (it's there but really buggy still and will break your game in the funniest of ways so I cut it short.)

Eva sex scene going to party with Des

Fixes -

Add naming save slots- implemented (though I am still tinkering with it so it may change in the future)

Reworked some of the sub path. Made it so now if you are being blackmailed and chose to lick Harper's pussy you will now be considered of the sub mindset. Also fixed a bug in the Harper teach path where the switch was not set properly. My bad. I suggest starting a new game if you want more sub content.

Hall of Fame at the end of the game. This is just a special thank you to all my $15 backers or people who have contributed a lot of money or other form of support to the game. Don't worry. Once your name is in the Hall of Fame there is no getting out of it.

v0.3.8 Preview hotfix
