Whip goddess

Although I am very into retro geming, I've never been much into PC/DOS games, but I really enjoy setting up things, so I started messing with DOSBox and make some classics run in my Linux boxes and Macs. You know, some Doom, some Duke Nukem... But I think I'm more into the configs than the gaming itself
Back in 2017 I discovered an abandonware game called "Vinyl Goddess from Mars", with some somewhat sexist art (you know, mid 90s) and full of whips and tiresome "uhh ahh" sample snippets. It's supposed to be the sequel to the classic Windows 3.1 "Jill of the Jungle" game.
Gameplay was OK, though I soon was more intrigued about reusing those kinda lame sounds than playing. I sketched a somewhat convoluted Drum Rack in Ableton, and kept adding more and more drums.
So now it's 2020 and I'm in a hurry. The project was almost done but I shortened the intro so things got interested faster, touched some levels here and there and kicked up the overdrive and overall compression. Done on earbuds so please forget a bad mix. Maybe it is not that polished, but it reminded me of my early Fast Tracker experiments, when I used any sample I could get my hands on, like free stuff and game files. Oh those crazy youthful days ...
So you see everything comes from a quite innocent origin. I thought beautiful whip goddesses were a little bit more interesting than forgotten MS DOS platformers
Tomorrow I'll be on duty for another fifteen days or so. Time to go to bed. I really really want to have free time and catch up with the WB community.
Lots of love to you, Weekly family, wherever you are around our beautiful planet!
