Crowdfunding the creation of the next version of LFGSS

Sorry, im a simpleton so can someone explain to me what happens if i invest £500? Im aware that I can potentially lose £500 and Im not expecting instant returns but what feasibly could I gain (apart from a warm fuzzy feeling!)

at some point in the future (years) Microcosm may be a profitable company.
You MAY then receive dividend payments.

It is also possible that a company would want to buy Microcosm at some point and if that were to happen then you would receive some money for your shares - depending on how much it were purchased for would determine how much you got for you shares.

None of the above is in any way guaranteed to happen

Another possibilty is that Microcosm would become a publicly traded company - in which case you would also be able to sell your shares
