No idea why but while I was laying ½ awake tossing and turning last night and this morning this was going through my head…
I’m thinking about a game mechanic where humans and mer-people team up, but the mers can only survive for a short while on dry land and the humans can only survive for a short while under water. Outside of battle if party members from the other environment are present a countdown for how long the air/water will last continues outside of battle and every action in battle costs air/water, if the air/water runs out the party members who need it will faint until you can get them back to their own environment.
When in battle the amount of air/water consumed by an action would vary according to the power/strength of that action so going all-out right from the start may take fewer moves but will cost more air/water per move and the player would have to balance that with how long they think it will take them to reach the other environment.
I imagine it would work best with a game world that is mostly islands or full of lakes and waterways so a person is never too far from land or water, but it could be tweaked.
What do you all think? Would it add to the challenge in a fun way or just frustrate?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
