Hi spicy, welcome and glad to hear you're excited!

Well, it depends on what you like. Building-wise these videos can cater as an inspiration. In-game in the current version (v0.23.1.1) you'll find some majestic buildings that might inspire you to build something (I really like the Monero Outreach Farm by Thunderosa, and my own latest work is the Yggdrasil).

If you're thinking gameplay mechanics wise, the markets are still quite the black box - people are intended to be able to make money there, but we've yet to have enough people for real competition (and we've had too much money in the testnets so far). Today as we went for public testnet, we'll start to expect the competition on the markets to be more fierce, but I really don't have a good advice to give regarding this aspect yet

I'd suggest joining the IRC channel (##townforge @ Freenode) and join up on the active conversation there for a lower threshold conversation.
