Sure it can be done, but not in DB, use DBP.

TGC forums gets posts like this a lot. If you want to make a really huge game, spend a few months learning modeling, game world buliding, texturing, and then spend maybe a few years making literally hundreds of game worlds. It's a lot of work, most games are made by large teams.
Ok, it's very hard. Impossible to do it right away. You might want to go for it anyway, just to see how long the road of game dev is.
If you're serious and willing to spend 3+ years or so learning DBP (and you'll need a modeling package, I'm getting gameSpace.), you've come to the right place. Once you've made Pong read my Pac-Man tutorial, see my sig. It's helped me and several others get loads better at coding.

Game dev is very hard, and some people don't think it's worth it. I just have to vent something...
If it's not worth it, then why do new games keep coming out?
In the 1990s there was an indi game developer, he was an expert at shareware. Up until this October I went to his site, not to play games but to read the shareware articles, which were very good. Then he shut down his business, Dexerity Software, because he was making a website on personal development. He promisied the game dev community a book on game publishing, but cancled it because he had already transitioned to personal development. All his experience is going to dissapear. He said he canceled it because writing on his website for personal development is so much faster than game dev. Here's what I say:
If writing is so much faster than game dev, why won't you write the book? You're making a book, not a game!
Much of his credibility in the game dev community has been destroyed. I managed to save some of his Dexerity software articles from all over the net, they dissapeared along with the site.
If anyone is interested in these articles, make a post here. I've got 8 of them.
Why would you throw away knowlage? If you're an expert on
anything, get out there and make a web site for others to learn from! Spread the word! What are you waiting for?
