Regarding price I don't find it fair to the old buyers.
Basically you are just updating MFPS 1.1.7 to MFPS 2.0 and replacing OnGUI with UGUI which should have been done in 1.1.7
Comparing it to UFPS which is $75 and UFPS Photon Multiplayer which is $20, not only a buyer can make a story mode easily but it also has better functionality and a whole lot more options.
MFPS itself cost old buyers $50 and old buyers having to pay MORE just to get MFPS 2.0 which is supposed to be an Update just doesn't seem fair to anyone of us.

A big improvement, I can say that it worth for buyers to upgrade, and it does fear, there is no promises when you buy that every Generation of Kit would be available for Free after purchase, Lovatto works so hard to make this such a thing, Mecanim + uGUI features.. Just can not be free to update.. think about that...

I thought about it which is why I said what I said.
I also forgot to add the "Addons" for MFPS such as other game modes, Minimap, etc.
A lot of us depends on MFPS addons just to make our games work but if you are going to release another MFPS version but not provide the old buyers with the update when it is SUPPOSED to be an Update then it feels like a rip off. The $50 we paid for MFPS meant all upgrades/updates should be free forever? Yeah? But now you are going to make old MFPS legacy and work on MFPS 2.0 just to get more money and old buyers would have to pay more on top of all the addons they paid for and MFPS, not to forget those who bought MFP, MFPS and other Lovatto assets from asset store.
I just don't think that this is doing us buyers/supporters any justice.

- just let me clear it for you, this new MFPS 2.0 will be separate / posterior of MFPS not an pay update (future updates of MFPS still will be free), who buy MFPS 2.0 will not have access to MFPS at least that he buy it, due in MFPS 2.0 much system will be different, will have new features but also will remove some system of MFPS for optimization finish, my objective is that MFPS 2.0 can be available on the Asset Store, this is the main reason for I need rebuild a lot of systems on actual version to avoid past tragedies, current buyers still can use actual version it will update with the same pattern so far (optimizing, bugs fixing, compatibility fix,etc..), I will continue to support it.

If you think that I as an independent developer get earnings for my work is wrong and that I should give it free "for life" as you say, then you are not a real developer or artist, think about Unity Cycles, DLC games, PRO, Deluxe versions, etc... is for one thing friend...

Looks like it'll be good, Is the MFPS 2.0 will compatible with current mfps addon?
And I hope so gunbobbing will be better than current mfps.
Also wanna see kill limit on match, so when player reach kill limit then round end.

I think MFPS 2 must use better network infrastructure like Forge. CCU is big problem for developers. In my opinion for better game play experience network infrastructure change is mandatory.

Another suggestion is related about player characters. Adding or changing player models is so hard and take long time. I think player model change must easy. Like a drag and drop a new compatible model. For example we should be able to use MakeHuman models easily without too many action.

Also default characters and weapons must be better and realistic in MFPS 2. You should deal with some 3D artists for this.

MFPS 2 early access for current customers is good idea to achieve better product. This must be free and standalone. You can build MFPS 2 and share with current customers and we can test it and feedback to you.

I hope MFPS 2 will best FPS Kit on the market with awesome features. Keep up good work.

So let me get it right. MFPS will get the SAME updates/upgrades like MFPS2.0? Meaning it will get UGUI scoreboard and everything that you are going to add in MFPS 2.0? If that is the case then I'm fine with it.

I never said that you as an independent developer making earning is wrong. All I said was since MFPS 2.0 is like an "upgrade" of MFPS then old buyers should get it for free since a lot of software company provides upgrades/updates for free.
Determining if a person is a real developer just by saying what you assumed is wrong. I create open source programs and I don't want to charge people for it that doesn't mean I'm not a real developer that just means I enjoy making programs that people might find helpful and can learn from it.

No, I said updates for MFPS will continue as now, for Unity and Photon new versions compatibility, etc... MFPS 2.0 updates is apart...

Very well for you, I can not give myself that luxury of creating just because I enjoy it.
