Patreon ($x/month) seems to have more mindshare since the heyday of the big all-or-nothing Kickstarter.

Patreon is much better fit for continual software maintenence. You get a monthly income to keep improving the software.
That said, video games aren't unheard of on Kickstarter. There's a final product to deliver to the backers so they can check the "successful Kickstarter" box and then move on to a new project.
