Any good text based game design resources for someone who has never designed before?

Hey everyone! I have always wanted to be part of designing a game, and recently I have realized that my favorite gaming genre, business and tycoon games, hasn't had the same punch since the early 2000s. I noticed that I have played those old games to death and want a new experience, but can't find anything as detailed. I have decided that I want to design my own business simulation game, with complexity and details rarely, if ever, included. I want to make the Dwarf Fortress or Aurora 4x version of a business simulation. Here's the problem: I have never designed a game before and have minimal programming experience. I am willing, however, to learn and take as long as I need to complete the game, whether that be years (minimum) or more likely a decade or two. Fortunately, the vision I have in mind is mostly text based with a small amount of 2D art involved. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a text based gaming engine that could be used to create a management game, preferably with links to tutorials. It would be greatly appreciated :)
