Josh Bush made a bee themed Real Time Strategy game called Hive Time and let players pay what they want... did it pay off?
Josh "Cheeseness" Bush is the Lead Developer of Hive Time the resource management game centered around a beehive. While playing you will need to adjust population ratios, conduct scientific research, and even occasionally engage in some diplomacy with neighboring insects.
Josh let people pay what they wanted and launched it on the smaller indie platform Itch.io and was candid about how it actually paid off as well as inspirations behind the game.
