Eek Games does and so does Kompas Productions but I'm not sure their games are the kind you'd necessarily want to feature on your channel. Their games are good on their own merits for what it's worth though

@aerialknight.com does a ton of stuff with their Patreon.

John Syzmanski of My Friendly Neighborhood does

Does Mark Brown of GMTK count? He released Mind Over Magnet with help from his patrons.

Caves of Qud/Freehold Games ran a patreon for years during development. They're also published by Kitfox, like DF

Mark Brown of @gamemakerstoolkit.com did for Mind Over Magnet. It was tied to the GMTK channel originally, but everyone knew what they were funding.

Radian Simulations makes of Gunner Heat PC did all their funding through Patreon.

Very small, but the solo dev for Orb of Creation does Patreon.

(They’re planning on a 1.0 release of OoC this year, if all goes well!)

Extremely niche, but Dawnsbury Studios use it to fund their Pathfinder 2e videogame
