Something something polygons.

I'm sure I could manage to do that, but is that really necessary? technically there shouldn't be a limit of frame elements, and most popular fighting games use simple boxes for collision detection. for now i will stay with boxes as it needs less developing time.

This.

Done.

Any known limit for tags so far? I.e. <10 itr's / frame or 1 opoint max.

not yet, but the limit should be fairly high. since my engine will spawn bdy and itr objects, opoints won't really be different from that.

Will you provide an app that lets you code the newly-styled DC? Maybe even code-suggestions and whatnot?

yes. or i will add a tool in-game or at least make code highlights for notepad++.

A new system that could replace id-dependent properties? For armor, fusing ability, hp/mp regen, ...

aka new header tags, next to face etc. yup

Ability to write your own functions? I.e. "effect=poison(20)" will look for a function called "poison" that fulfills the param-set (--> method overloading?). For example, this function attaches itself to the target and drains hp for 20 TUs, etc.

well kinda. i don't think i will be able to make the engine that much customizable (and honestly i don't really want to), but new effects can be discussed with me and the other members and will eventually be added to the engine.
