Nemesis Rewards Calculator

Works out the cheapest way to back Nemesis Legacy on Gamefound for exactly what you want.

Switch on the games and extras you are after and it finds the best combination of pledges, bundles and single add-ons — including a bigger bundle with things you did not ask for, when that is still the cheaper way to get what you did. It then prices the order with shipping, VAT and your currency, and lists what to put in your Gamefound cart, with pictures.

What has changed, and when, is in CHANGELOG.md; the site's own "What's New?" list is the short version of it.

How it works

It is a static site: every page is rendered to HTML at build time, and all the working-out happens in the browser. There is no server.

Part	Where
The catalogue, as captured	data/gamefound.json
The catalogue, as shipped, and images	app/data/catalog.json, public/images/products/
What each product is (which switch)	app/domain/classification.ts
What the switches and single picks ask for	app/domain/selection.ts
The shipping table	app/domain/shipping.ts
The currencies and their symbols	app/domain/currencies.ts
Retail prices, and inflation since	app/domain/msrp.ts, app/domain/inflation.ts

The search for the best combination	app/domain/solver.ts
Turning a combination into a full quote	app/domain/quote.ts

The "What's New?" list	app/domain/changes.ts
The four themes, one per game	app/assets/css/main.css, app/composables/useTheme.ts

The search

Choosing what to buy is a weighted set-cover problem: each switch stands for some items, each product on sale provides some items at a price, and the cheapest set of products providing everything is wanted. solver.ts solves it exactly. It decides one bundle at a time (the best answer either includes it or does not), and after each decision splits what is left into groups of bundles that no longer overlap, which fall apart into one small problem per game. It takes about a millisecond, so it simply runs again on every change.

The tests check it against a brute-force search over random combinations of the switches.

Combinations are ranked on the price of the rewards. Shipping is added afterwards and is not part of the ranking, because the campaign only publishes shipping for pledges — add-on shipping “will be calculated in pledge manager” — so counting it would wrongly favour buying everything separately.

What the numbers are

• Prices and bundle contents are Gamefound's, captured on the date shown in the site's footer. They change while the campaign runs; see below for refreshing them.
• Shipping is the campaign's shipping table, typed out from the image it is published as. Split shipping is only offered for an order with something in each of the campaign's two shipments; one that all goes out together is priced as single. One pledge of campaign Update #15, the Vengeance pledge with BIG BOX, is not in the table: it is counted at the least its shipping can be, that of the Vengeance pledge it holds the whole of, and the page says so.
• VAT is charged on rewards and shipping at the destination's standard rate, for the places the campaign collects it. The rate can be corrected on the page.
• Returning backers get the SAM Robot Pack free (campaign Update #6). With that switch on it is added to a Legacy order at no charge, though by the campaign's FAQ its shipping is still to pay; otherwise it is an ordinary add-on.
• Miniatures finish: each item that offers Sundrop or paint adds its own surcharge. A pledge's stretch goals take the finish of its Core Box (campaign Update #10); only Retaliation's are priced for it separately on Gamefound, and so here.
• Currency: everything is in euros, as Gamefound charges it. The total can be read in any currency the campaign lists, or that is spent somewhere it ships to — twenty-eight in all — at central banks' reference rates, fetched by the browser from Frankfurter, falling back to the rates of the day the catalogue was captured.
• MSRP: what the cart would cost at retail. The campaign states a retail MSRP for the Legacy Core Box and Stretch Goals, and the Retaliation campaign did for its own. For the rest it is the price in the earliest campaign that sold the item, and where there is none, an assumption: this campaign's price plus 50%. Anything from an earlier campaign is raised by consumer-price inflation since, as Statistics Poland publishes it for Dolnośląskie, the region Wrocław is the capital of. Hover over the figure for the breakdown. These are estimates.

Security

There is no server, no accounts and no cookies. Visits are counted with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which keeps nothing in the browser, and nothing else is collected. The one secret, the Font Awesome token, never reaches the repository or the built site. SECURITY.md has the detail and how to report a problem.

Development

Needs Bun.

bun install

bun run dev

Command	What it does
bun run dev	Development server
bun run build	The static site, into .output/public
bun run preview	Serves the built site
bun run check	Lint, formatting, types and tests — what CI runs
bun run catalog:build	Rebuilds the shipped catalogue and images from capture
bun run icons:generate	Rebuilds the icon collection

TypeScript, ESLint and Prettier are all set as strict as they go (nuxt.config.ts, eslint.config.mjs, .prettierrc.json), and CI fails on a single warning.

Nuxt is held at 4.5 (~4.5.2 in package.json). 4.6.0 failed to render any page on Windows when this was set up — “Either manifest or precomputed data must be provided”, in both dev and build — so try a newer version deliberately rather than by accident.

Font Awesome Pro

The icons are Font Awesome Pro, which needs a licence token to install. Copy .env.example to .env and put your package token in it, then run bun install.

Without a token the Pro packages are skipped and the icons are drawn from Font Awesome Free instead, so the project still installs, builds and passes CI — it just looks a little heavier. The generated icon files are never committed: this repository is public, and the Pro icons are licensed, not open.

For GitHub Actions, add the token as a repository secret named FONTAWESOME_PACKAGE_TOKEN.

Refreshing the prices

Gamefound sits behind bot protection that turns scripts away, so the catalogue is captured from a real browser session rather than scraped from the command line:

1. Open the rewards page.
2. Paste scripts/capture-gamefound.js into the browser console. It downloads gamefound.json.
3. Move that to data/gamefound.json, then:

bun run catalog:build

bun test

The tests fail if Gamefound has added a product that app/domain/classification.ts does not know about yet — classify it there. If the shipping table on the project page has changed, update app/domain/shipping.ts to match.

git diff data/gamefound.json shows exactly what Gamefound changed. A picture that is already stored is kept, so where a product's image has changed, delete its file in public/images/products/ before building — or fetch them all again:

bun run catalog:build --force

Deployment

The site is at nemesis.slydave.com.

Pushing to main builds it and publishes it to GitHub Pages (.github/workflows/deploy.yml). The repository's Pages source is set to GitHub Actions, with nemesis.slydave.com as its custom domain; the domain's DNS has a CNAME record pointing at slydave.github.io.
