Copy game over to use as basis for another game

Most important would be Game ID - hit the 'generate...' button to the right of that field to get a new ID, as if you uploaded a copied game without a new ID it would cause problems.
This is what I've done before, anyway. I ended up taking the concepts I liked from my old projects, reworking the ones I didn't, and then constructing a framework with things like my combat system, resources, shops, etc all functioning and working and ready to build off of. A sort of engine-in-an-engine, I guess.

01 Apr 2020, 19:20Thank you so much for answering! I don't quite understand what you mean when you say save as- I don't have a 'save as' button is that because I'm working on the web version? Is there any way to do it from there? (It's my first game so I'm not very familiar with the software or any of the code behind it)

Why not just save the game using a new filename.
Load in game A
then save as Game B
Remove the bits you don't want from Game B and you've got a workable copy of Game A to use as your new adventure.
