Well, that's why it's at 1 million dollars, because it'll take time and effort to get it done right. It's a NICE feature, to be sure, but I don't think it's MANDATORY to have. It wasn't in Divinity 2.

I think the 800,000 stretch goal might be reachable, though - if the average of about 20,000 a day is maintained for ALL 20 days.

If you want the day/night schedules, spread the word and try to get other people to chip in. Find other forums, find other friends on facebook and such. Just complaining about it here will accomplish nothing.
