You're in an exciting, fun place. There's a huge amount of potential in the program, and I remember when I first started with MMF2 how many directions I wanted to explore.
You may want to make all sorts of games, but for starters I'd recommend a traditional platformer. Here's a fair tutorial online on how to make a basic platformer in a very short amount of time:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTm5EOd0vxQ
If you're into those sorts of games, I'd suggest that the next route you explore is messing around with the Platform Movement Object (PMO), then after you're pleased with that, experiment with making your own custom movement engine.
If you want to make different types of games, then I recommend the same process: do a bit of research on the game style you want to make, mess around a bit, tweak, playtest, and edit, and see what you like.
You'll hear a lot from people who say jump to a custom movement engine right away, but I don't necessarily agree with that. It's best to learn each step thoroughly, then build upon what you've learned in previous experiments. There's always time for customization and developing your own tools later. Plus, the game you make in these early steps can actually be entertaining and fun to play, depending on the effort you put into things such as graphics, gameplay elements, and sound.
Finally, I'd recommend finding some more tutorials online that can help you develop the game you want. One place I've found incredibly useful is Nivram's tutorial collection. Plenty of examples and screenshots of each:

Best of success to you!

Yeah downloading example files and looking through the events is a great way to learn. Also there are people at TDC that are always willing to help if you need it.

If you ever need help with making a platformer using the PMO or platform movement object feel free to ask me! i use the PMO all the time and have made numerous platformers and advanced movements with the PMO like wall jumping and sliding etc.

Making games is fun! Keep them simple to start with, aim to get a new game out as frequently as possible, each release you'll learn something new from feedback.
I'm not sure what else to say.
