PopCap Developer Program
https://www.ea.com/studios/popcap
The purpose of the PopCap Developer Program is to contribute to the indie game community by allowing free access to the programming Framework we've successfully based our own games on. There are a few reasons we want to do this.
First, we hope that by reducing technical barriers we help developers to focus more on actual game design instead of compatibility bugs and multimedia programming issues. This will hopefully allow people to make better games, which helps the entire indie/casual game market (including PopCap).

TADS (free software)
http://www.tads.org/
TADS is a set of programming tools specially designed for writing adventure games.
TADS can be used to create pure text games, as well as games that mix text, graphics, and sound. TADS uses HTML to specify formatting - this gives you the ability to display JPEG and PNG graphics; control text fonts, sizes, styles, colors, alignment, and layout; play WAV, MIDI, and MP3 sounds; divide the screen into "frame"-like areas; and create clickable hyperlinks that allow players to enter commands with the mouse.
TADS is free, and there are no restrictions on games you create using TADS. You're free to give your games away, distribute them as shareware, sell them commercially, or do anything else you want with them.
