    as above

    but i am assuming that your square map is in Mercator projection from 85 north to 85 south

    this will need re-projecting to 90 north to 90 south and in equirectangular simple cylindrical format
    see:

    Thanks for the response. I used worldengine to get an idea of what my continents will look like, and it outputs a 512x512 image but I could not find any documentation regarding the projection. It is probably safe to assume it is as you said. Is there an easy way to go about projecting the image to equirectangular? I have access to ArcMap through my job but that might get messy. If the easiest way is to use GIS software I will probably just get QGIS.
