ie. massively influential lead developer/director with a non-traditional game design background

Todd Howard is omittable as chess team dork-turned-Bethesda meme.

what's non-traditional about his background? I'm not too familiar with it.

Ken Levine maybe? He use to write plays before stumbling into video game writing.

a lot of people don't understand that Kojima started during the 2D era, so it might be a long time before we see another one like him

Aspiring filmmaker with a shitload of knowledge on the industry who just happened to be extremely skilled at game programming and development, sorta similar to Miyamoto's career path as an artist turned producer/consultant.

I think the dead space guy doesn't have a traditional tech background.

Maybe
yup (I decided to Google him after my post).

Miyazaki was born circa 19741975[a] in Shizuoka, Japan.[1] He later attended Keio University and graduated with a degree in social science, later getting a job as an account manager for the US based Oracle Corporation to pay for his sister's college tuition fees.[2][3] Upon a friend's recommendation, Miyazaki played the 2001 video game Ico, which caused him to want a career change as a game designer.[1] Miyazaki found that few game companies would employ him at age 29 with no experience working as a designer, with one of the few being FromSoftware. He began working there as a planner on Armored Core: Last Raven in 2004, joining the game's development midway through.[1][3] He later directed Armored Core 4 and its direct sequel, Armored Core: For Answer.[3]

Not in Japan, Otaku dominate the gaming industry, with the dwindling old guard holding on that range from their mid 40's to their late 70's.

Idk what he did before but he's definitely a rare and respected lead who isn't a corporate suit. Like if BJ Blazkowicz became a game producer.

And shit, Miyazaki's story is insane. Idk how some people can just jump into game design inexperienced but with no problem.
