This is not for my individual game, but can we get one's game sold on itch.io ? Do we need to pay to appear on first pages? Or is there an algorithm? How can we get even a single person to buy our game? (I've changed name, added updates, added storyline, added video and screenshots, posted devlogs, added best tags, participated in sales(my goal was probably the smallest)  and even posted in popular topics like introduce yourself and post a screenshot of your game) Yet We get no one to buy our game. I just need a single person to buy my game. I've only got 208 views since I registered. 

What went wrong? Please help.

Make a way that newer projects from less known developers get seen too.....

Other than the already ruling projects, when ever they do anything(even if add images)... gets featured... (I've read the rules)

Same problem here...(except my projects are mostly free) yet no downloads or even views...

There are plenty of factors that play into a game's popularity. Outside marketing, a good game page, and having a unique and interesting concept are all important. Your game's download page looks good, but it appears to be a straight Minecraft clone. People are less likely to buy your game when they can just download Minecraft

It's relatively cheaper and better in terms of features....

  1. Make a game
  2. ???
  3. Success!

You shouldn't think too hard about it, people play what they play and part of being a game developer is accepting that your hard work often goes unnoticed.

You should probably add clothes dude

She's not bad, it's because put no effort in it. You used Makehuman that allows you to create that model and much more in less than 5 minutes FOR FREE. You're just assuming not so many people know that tool, and trying to outsmart your "public".
