Good day.

I've got a level with about 200 - 300 objects. I would really benefit from getting AGKs object culling up and running to not draw objects behind me.

Problem is that Blender doesn't have a batch export so how do you go about exporting obj file containing all your level meshes but having them load up as individual meshes to make use of the LoadObjectWithChildren() function?

LoadObjectWithChildren() is for animated objects and expects an armature and meshes become child's of the armature.

this issue is somewhat discussed here : https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/227776

if you are trying to use blender as your level editor then you are going to have to write an importer.

AGK does not support any kind of "prefab", you could just add a single bone and parent each object to the bone and load it that way, LoadObjectWithChildren will see the bone (armature) as the parent, I am not sure how/if collision stuff would pan out though as AppGameKit is seeing the entire world as a single object and it may mess with default culling etc etc, worth a try though, maybe
