There's a lot of games that get started but maybe have one or two releases before being binned. I get that the games can take a huge amount of time investment and sometimes money for good renders so I get it but are there some reliable devs you'd recommend supporting who consistently finish their projects to a good standard?

There are a few that I recommend.
Neko-Hime tends to put out consistent and very decent work.
Doc5252 or whatever set of numbers he's using now, has a damn fine twisted sense of humor, so if you like that too, he's one I'd reccomend.
Shaddy kicks ass, but don't let him hear you say that because it will go to his head. He spends a lot of time assisting other devs and has a damn good game of his own.
Devon makes some damn fine work too. OSiL is awesome.
Sadly I am bad at remembering names...and there are a LOT of others that rate being called good too.

Not actually seen that one before. I take a look
Not seen that one before, looks interesting at first glance. Very good reviews
As a player, I will support someone that is creating a story I like, whether they are new or established. Established devs deserve the support and new ones need support to show they have fans and people wanting them to continue and succeed. One reason many projects disappear is because no one will support them, even if they have good content. Just like the people who upvote r/new on Reddit, these supporters really help.
If you have any questions about a specific project/game, go talk on the Discord. Most people are going to be pretty honest in how the dev operates, both with updates and with community management and creator support.
On the developer side, it does take a huge amount of time and energy to put out a reliable product. Most of us don't make enough to make it our full-time job, so we have to go to work to make the bills until (we hope) the project takes off. If I didn't have this damned office job, I'd be on project #4 by now.

Yeah I get that. Its that cliff of can't make the money without the time and cant commit the time until the money is there to pay the bills.
The good thing is the devs that make it are the ones that have good stuff and also have the passion to continue, even in the face of little or no support. But you really do need to have both talent and passion to "make it."
Good list to check trough. Seen shaddy credited in a few different things so respect to him (quietly
)From a players perspective its hard to know if someone has put out a good demo and will actually update if you start supporting or not. I swear it seems like there are a couple of guys just making a demo as bait for donos with no intention of carrying on. Might just be being cynical tho
Caribdis, Killer7, Jestur.
28k paid patreon membersWhat you talkin about?
Obviously the ultimate Combo
DarkCookie and DarkSilver
Consistently milikn peoples money and giving nothing in Return
How can there be so many retards givin them money?
In fairness, it does happen relatively often. The world revolves around the all-mighty euro/dollar/yen/etc. It's disheartening, but it's one of the commonalities in this media.
My supporting has dropped over the years due to that exact situation. Not so much in supporting new developers, other than recommending their games, but a couple of the 'older' devs I once supported have disappeared as well.
Braindrop, He may miss some deadlines sometimes but he always releases great updates. he always keeps his fans informed, posts a lot, and is honest with fans. some people complain because his updates sometimes take a while but when you play the game you can see why and he never failed to release an update.
Classy Lemon.
ILSPrductions of the Interim Domain and Now and Then, great story telling and consistent development pace.

The most consistend dev I came across in the last couple of years is probably 'Faerin' with two completed big games (Man of the house, Mystwood Manor) and now working on a third.
Caribdis, Prometheus, Cozy.
